Cracking a Ph.D.

Abstract

This chapter discusses about some consideration to help you choose your coursework. Completing your coursework can be one of your Ph.D. requirements. You need to choose your coursework wisely to be able to complete within the timeline. You may choose coursework related to your research area or any other areas. But, you need to balance it out as such you would have enough exposure but less distraction to your own research.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

—Mahatma Gandhi.
