shared Graduate Student education by international networking
Journal of Food Science, 2006Co-Authors: Peter P PurslowAbstract:: Provision of highly specialized and detailed courses essential for high-caliber Graduate Student education often presents a problem of small but essential classes. There are many pitfalls, costs, and successes associated with this problem. For example, meat science is a relatively strong area of research and Graduate education in the Nordic countries. Good-quality Master's level education exists in all countries. The challenge comes in that, in some instances, the class sizes of Master's and PhD courses may be small (3 to 9) with challenges in resource management. Two solutions were considered with the Nordic Forestry, Veterinary and Agricultural Univ. (NOVA), a virtual organization, and the Nordic Network for Meat Science (NNMS). Several major barriers to implement a concerted Master's degree under NOVA related to the realities of resource management and costs. The resource implications effectively meant that the proposed sharing of courses within an existing subject area proved nonviable, although it was recognized that new Master's courses could be constructed on this model. A successful resolution to the problem focused specifically on teaching doctoral level courses. NNMS provides an electronic communication forum, training courses, and an annual workshop for approximately 60 workers in the field with an emphasis on Graduate Students. The annual workshops allow a relaxed forum where PhD Students discuss their work with leaders in their area. NNMS conducts doctoral courses with a very high standard, utilizing both local research expertise of international standing and bringing in well-known figures from the USA and Australia as guest teachers. Further funding has been successfully obtained against the promise of incorporating the Baltic States (Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia) into the network.

when inputs are outputs the case of Graduate Student instructors
Economics of Education Review, 2016Co-Authors: Eric Bettinger, Bridget Terry Long, Eric S TaylorAbstract:Abstract We examine Graduate Student teaching as an input to two production processes: the education of underGraduates and the development of Graduate Students themselves. Using fluctuations in full-time faculty availability as an instrument, we find underGraduates are more likely to major in a subject if their first course in the subject was taught by a Graduate Student, a result opposite of estimates that ignore selection. Additionally, Graduate Students who teach more frequently Graduate earlier and are more likely to subsequently be employed by a college or university.

unit roots in life a Graduate Student story
Econometric Theory, 2014Co-Authors: Peter C B PhillipsAbstract:On the evening of March 7, 2008, the New Zealand Econometric Study Group Meeting held its Conference Dinner. The venue was the Owen Glenn Building, the spectacular new home of the Auckland Business School and the Department of Economics at the University of Auckland. The meeting was organized by my colleagues, co-authors, and close companions Donggyu Sul and Chirok Han. Chirok did double duty by videotaping the evening, Donggyu coordinated festivities with consummate skill, and we settled in to a memorable evening.Econometricians, old friends, former Students, two of my former teachers, faculty, and senior administrators were gathered together to celebrate my 60th birthday. Many had traveled long distances from overseas and navigated busy schedules to come to this event. It was a singular honor. My wife and daughter were with me. Opening speeches from Bas Sharp and John McDermott broke the ice with endearing tales from the past and jokes about some mysterious hole in my vita. I stood at the front table, looked out, and felt a glow of fellowship envelop me. I was fortunate indeed. Life had bestowed many gifts. The warmth of family, friends, and collegiality were at the top of the list. My education and early training in New Zealand were a clear second.What follows is a Graduate Student story. It draws on the first part of the speech I gave that evening at the NZESG conference dinner. It mixes personal reflections with recollections of the extraordinary New Zealanders who shaped my thinking as a Graduate Student and beginning researcher—people who have had an enduring impact on my work and career as an econometrician. The story traces out these human initial conditions and unit roots that figure in my early life of teaching and research.

Towards the training of Graduate Student teaching assistants training from teaching assistant system in North American
Computer Engineering and Science, 2014Co-Authors: Cai Zhi-pinAbstract:The teaching assistant system in North American universities is well developed.It has been proved very effective,which has clear development objectives and evaluation system mechanisms. It provides a pretty good guide for improving the Graduate Student teaching assistant system in China. The paper introduces the Graduate Student teaching assistant system in North American universities and their positive experiences,analyzes the current status and problems of the Graduate Student teaching assistant system in China,and gives some suggestions on training of Graduate Student teaching assistants.
