2016/10/22 | 1,241 | 5,368 | <issue_start>username_0: As I check forums to compare top UK schools (specifically: Oxbridge and Imperial College) v.s. top US schools (MIT, Stanford, Caltech, etc.), most of people have mentioned the subjects, just like stuffs below, to consider higher priority for electing US schools:

2016/10/22 | 811 | 3,355 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm an undergraduate student in the Netherlands, and as the title states, I'm encountering an annoying situation. How should one deal with the situation of constantly being asked for the notes of a lecture, summaries of book chapters, flash cards, etc by other, fellow-students?
I do not mind ... |
2016/10/22 | 1,130 | 4,921 | <issue_start>username_0: I teach a first year undergrad class in MATLAB programming, and one of my students is completely blind. Quite amazingly, the student memorises the whole chapter before class and regurgitates with the help of someone saying what the output is.
I wonder if anyone has some advice to help the stud... |
2016/10/22 | 915 | 3,685 | <issue_start>username_0: I am an associate lecturer and it's my second term with the undergraduate students.
I noticed some of my students laugh when I teach. It's the most annoying thing I have ever felt in my academic life so far. I always think, why some laugh while others appreciate my way of teaching? It's very p... |
2016/10/22 | 1,862 | 7,663 | <issue_start>username_0: Or is a PhD a ceiling that they'll never be able to reach, no matter how hard they worked?
By average intelligence I mean a person who has an IQ of 100.<issue_comment>username_1: I recently reread <NAME>'s book *Outliers*, which has a discussion of this very point, i.e., IQ versus academic su... |
2016/10/23 | 600 | 2,615 | <issue_start>username_0: I just got my PhD recently and have a postdoctoral position now. I started applying to faculty jobs (tenure track/US/engineering/R1) for this cycle. I know that the whole hiring process is complicated, can/may involve politics, luck etc. and since most applicants don't hear back from search com... |
2016/10/23 | 422 | 1,951 | <issue_start>username_0: My supervisor has not finished marking my master's thesis.
Am I allowed to publish it in a journal before he finishes marking it? I asked him the question twice, but he never replied to me.<issue_comment>username_1: I suppose your advisor will be coauthor in whatever paper you write that is ba... |
2016/10/24 | 1,129 | 4,978 | <issue_start>username_0: I have been working very hard on my thesis and I have reached a point with my data where I am required to code.
I am no where near experienced in coding, and there is also not enought time left to learn it.
Simply, the coding is required to re-format the information and figures I already have... |
2016/10/24 | 1,698 | 7,367 | <issue_start>username_0: this is my first post here, I'll copy and paste a recent answer I asked in the physics and resulted a little bit inappropriate. I do physics so I'm mainly looking for answers for people in the field that maybe had some similare experience, but I think any opinion could be useful, so if I'm not ... |
2016/10/24 | 576 | 2,516 | <issue_start>username_0: this is a somewhat specific question aimed especially at people who have experienced in serving in tenure-track search committees that use Mathjobs.Org.
Many of the job descriptions say something in the lines of "Review of applications will start on 1 November" (or any other date) or "For ful... |
2016/10/24 | 312 | 1,367 | <issue_start>username_0: How do you cite (in APA) the authors last name when it is a foreign language with special unknown characters that can't be identified by most word processors.<issue_comment>username_1: Try shapecatcher.com and detexify.kirelabs.org to identify the characters. Then proceed from there by insertin... |
2016/10/24 | 1,793 | 7,191 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm being offered a postdoc position at Penn State University.
[The recent rise in salary sounds good](http://www.sciencemag.org/careers/2016/08/nih-sets-new-postdoc-stipend-levels) (about 4000$/month), but I wonder taxes may be not included. Any help?<issue_comment>username_1: You will be tax... |
2016/10/24 | 619 | 2,799 | <issue_start>username_0: I am at a stage to apply for an academic job, but can not find enough recommendation letters (3 typically). Currently, I am on my own grant, and mainly working alone on some relatively small, independent projects. Thus little collaborators.
When it comes to job application, they typically requ... |
2016/10/24 | 902 | 3,446 | <issue_start>username_0: I live in the UK and I have a foreign name of the form
<NAME>
where both words and the space are part of my first name. Due to common UK standard everyone usually assumes either that Efghjkl is my surname or, more often, that Efghjkl is my middle name and proceeds to omit it.
I am fine when ... |
2016/10/24 | 634 | 2,894 | <issue_start>username_0: In February I submitted a paper that was sent back asking for minor revisions. I revised and re-submitted the paper (with rather significant changes) much later, in October, and it was accepted for publication three days later.
Given the extent of my modifications I'm surprised that the proces... |
2016/10/25 | 514 | 2,157 | <issue_start>username_0: I've noticed that my advisor (non-native) sometimes makes minor spelling/grammatical errors in academic papers. I believe this is due, in part, to the fact that until very recently, nobody in the lab was a native speaker.
Is there a way that I can bring this to my advisor's attention professio... |
2016/10/25 | 1,302 | 5,370 | <issue_start>username_0: Of course the exact status of the title has changed in different places and times.
I mean it most specifically in the sense of <NAME>'s title at Georg-August-Universität Göttingen in 1923: *nicht beamteter Außerordentlicher Professor.* But I doubt there is a standard translation for that spec... |
2016/10/25 | 3,441 | 15,233 | <issue_start>username_0: Today I met with a student who had plagiarized answers on an exam from online sources. She explained to me with apparent honesty that she had spent too long answering the first two questions and then run out of time. In her telling, being a non-native speaker makes grammatical writing in Englis... |
2016/10/25 | 1,410 | 5,443 | <issue_start>username_0: I found a one-panel comic that is relevant to the content of a course I am taking. I think my professor would enjoy it.

2016/10/25 | 440 | 1,805 | <issue_start>username_0: A few weeks ago I've enrolled in a Coursera course offered by university A, without asking for a certificate. I've completed some of the work, but now my university holds a course on the same topic, to which I am enrolled for credit.
Consequently, I decided to stop doing assignments from the C... |
2016/10/25 | 1,472 | 5,984 | <issue_start>username_0: I am applying for postdoc this year. I was given standard one hour for my job talk. I prepared for a 45-50 minute talk and 10-15 minutes for Q & A. But probably I spoke bit too fast and also people didn't interrupt me, my talk was over by 30-35 minutes. Is it really bad for getting a job?<issue... |
2016/10/25 | 1,565 | 6,446 | <issue_start>username_0: I am an undergraduate student in mathematics. My academic performance is really good but many people tell me "you are too stressed up", including people who know me for a few weeks.
Due to some serious family issues the last few years have been hell.
As the time passes everything is returning... |
2016/10/25 | 656 | 3,044 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm currently in the job market for tenure-track applications in mathematics. I have seen that some of the positions ask for undergraduate or graduate transcripts (both unofficial and official).
I have an issue, especially with graduate transcripts: I obtained my Ph.D. in France, and I didn't... |
2016/10/25 | 1,365 | 5,711 | <issue_start>username_0: I am a mathematics professor, and recently I invited (using my own grant funding) a speaker to campus give a lecture on popular math. As I expected, he gave a wonderful talk that any undergraduate could have enjoyed.
I decided to try to publicize the event widely, and I failed in a big way. Ou... |
