Developing a Doctoral Identity

 

 

In your educational journey, you’ve undergone shifts in your identity as you completed your undergraduate and graduate degrees, but as Coffman et al. (2016) noted, “the process of becoming a researcher and adopting a professional and scholarly identity is a process of transformation and identity development beyond that of an undergraduate or masters level student” (p. 30). Developing your doctoral identity requires embracing your new place in academia and owning your identity as a scholar and researcher.>

Savvy Strategies from Savvy Students

Some of my favorite time-management tips are using a time inventory to see where time is spent, marking due dates of all discussions, activities, and quizzes for every week of class on a paper calendar before class starts, and planning specific steps for each week a week in advance. I break weekly study and writing down to daily activities and make sure to have outlines for the coming week completed before Monday.
