Summary: "This book is a guide to fixing dysfunctional PhD education. It is written for faculty, administrators, students, and the interested general public. The coauthors discovered a surprising degree of consensus on what's wrong with doctoral programs, from admissions judgments to career outcomes. Out of their study of what went wrong, the coauthors propose a method and a model for student-centered change in doctoral education"-- Provided by publisher.
