Broadly speaking, unimplemented projects and unpublished conference and workshop papers—including unreleased theses and dissertation manuscripts—significantly weaken scholarly contribution and impact.

Brillo’s Rule

Read (extensively), Think (deeply), Imagine (creatively), and Write-Nothing More, Nothing Less. I force you!

These posts are designed to encourage thinking and reflection, not acceptance.

Distinction between Undergraduate and Graduate Programs

Broadly speaking, undergraduate and graduate programs at research universities differ. In undergraduate programs, teaching is strongly emphasized, while research is supported, as professors focus on foundational teaching while also conducting research. By contrast, in graduate programs, teaching underpins research, with research being central and weighted more heavily, as professors emphasize specialized knowledge in teaching and are highly driven by research (especially publications).
