Information for Interested Students
General Expectations: Graduate school is a self directed learning
experience. Hence, I expect all of my graduate students to actively
participate in classes and external research projects as time permits.
They must maintain a positive attitude, work co-operatively with other
students, be self motivated and well organized. All students are required
to carry a cellular phone and have a car for transportation. I expect
each student to have the majority of their thesis or dissertation work
ready for publication prior to graduation. It is the students responsibility
to keep up with policy regarding graduation and international student
status.
Support: Acceptance of a graduate students is completely at the discretion
of the major professors as is their continued support. When funding
is available, a graduate student may receive financial support in the
form of a Graduate Assistantship (GA). A student receiving an assistantship,
is required to be enroled in classes and work a given number of hours
(typically 20hr/week) to maintain the assistantship. A GA is not considered
a full time employee and does not receive benefits (health insurance,
paid vacation etc). However, this does allow an out of state student
to receive in state rates.
A GA is similar to an hourly job in that the student is required to
work a certain number of hours for the GA. This work does not include
anything related to his/her curriculum. Many professors require the
student to work a fixed number of hours per week doing things that
are not relate to the students curriculum (classes, special problems,
thesis/dissertation research etc). Bottom line, to receive a GA you
are required to work a certain number of hours on projects other than
your research and be enroled in classes.
My general policy is I do not pay students to complete their curriculum
which includes their research. They are required to work to maintain
their GA. However, I try to minimize the amount of peripheral work
as much as possible. The reality of this is some times you may be required
to put in a lot of hours but other times you will not. Most student
will need to put in 50-60hr of work per week to complete there degree
program in a timely fashion.
Students may also be supported by teaching fellowships, scholarships
or other funding sources. I expect all students, regardless of funding
source to participate in the laboratory and work on projects outside
of there curriculum. They will be held accountable just as any other
student is held accountable for work ethics.
Tuition: At this time, the majority of the our GA also receive a
scholarship or tuition waiver, which covers the cost of a fixed number
of class hours but does not cover university fee’s. Due to
limitation on the number of hours this may not cover the cost of
all of your class credits.
Research Units
I conduct research at both the North Auburn (NAL) and Claude Pettite
Mariculture Laboratory (CPML). Students conducting research at these
facilities will require there own transportation to and from the
facilities which means they will require a car. It is the responsibility
of the student to take care of his animals and hence may be required
to make multiple trips each day. Students at the CPML are unlikely
to be able to take classes while conducting there research at the
coast. While at the coast, there is temporary group housing that
may be available to the student. There is a non-refundable deposit
required to utilize this housing. Students are not required to live
on site but offsite housing is generally expensive.
Committe Expectations
My research demands may be more stringent that other
professors. In addition to the Departmental Requirements I require
MS and PhD students
to 1) prepare a research proposal 2) present a departmental seminar
reviewing the research 3) provide an electronic copy of the thesis
or dissertation as a single PDF file. If you are not willing to meet
these requirements than do not include me on a committee.
