How should graduate students choose the right tutor?
The position and experience of the tutor.
1. A younger tutor, who just graduated, is very enthusiastic about academics and will work hard in his own research direction. So he will teach you by hand, so that you can learn something real.
Although first-class tutors also recruit graduate students, they bring less directly, but the benefits are obvious. For example, the experimental conditions are better than those of relatively young teachers, and they have a certain position in the college, and they will even be recommended to you when you are preparing for a doctorate in the future.
Generally speaking, if you have strong self-study ability, you can choose Daniel's tutor; On the other hand, if you need to supervise yourself, it is recommended to choose a young tutor, because he will control you and teach you by hand.
2. The depth of the tutor's professional opinions
Before choosing a tutor, you can see if there is anything unreasonable in his published articles. Avoid teachers who only use simple terms to explain a profound or abstract problem or pile up new words or terms.
3. Mentor's breadth in the field of knowledge
A qualified tutor should have a wide range of knowledge, research interests as wide as possible, and at the same time be concentrated. If you consciously ask him several pediatric questions in related fields, when he answers hesitantly, it is obvious that his professional knowledge is not enough.
4. Tutor's thesis guidance and help
If the tutor has the habit of sending papers to students frequently and provides correct direction guidance and help, then this kind of tutor will be of great help to our future employment.
5. The tutor's personality
The tutor's character is very important. If you meet an eccentric teacher in your graduate career, you will feel depressed working under them. Therefore, after you have the intention of looking for a tutor, it is recommended to ask his seniors or acquaintances and make a choice with reference to their opinions.
