Books I Bought for My Grad Students This Year.



And What They Gave Me Last Night at the Holiday Party:

  1. You buy books for your students?

    Gee, I once got some apple butter from one prof and a scarf from another. The scarf was from from a dollar store too, but I really needed one that winter and it matched by coat, so I loved it!

  2. Monkey: They gave me a great e-reader.

    Myth: My grad students put in very long hours for me, and their stipends here are only barely adequate. Part of my job, I think, is to prepare them for the academy, and I've found all of those books to either lighten or inform the experience. I only have 7 who work with me regularly, so the expenditure is pretty minimal.

  3. Love it, Terry P. You must be doing something right. I think the care of grad students is an important task. I've never had my "own" grad students, but I'd like to think I'd follow your lead.

  6. I love adblock. Everything loads much more quickly. I was, however, also clueless about Terry's post.
