Not an exaggeration

I saw this and I didn't believe it: 

The syllabus template that Stanford’s teaching folks offer for instructors is 26 pages.

But here it is (33 pp. if you count "additional resources")

Excellence awards and travel grants

2022-2023 Graduate Student Excellence Awards - Call for Nominations

The Graduate School is seeking nominations for the 2022-2023 Graduate Student Excellence Awards. The submission deadline for nomination packets is Friday, November 4th at 5:00 p.m. 

Nomination packets must be submitted electronically by the student’s Graduate Director - and in PDF format only - to Nicole Smith (smithn@binghamton.edu). Hard copies and submissions that exceed one PDF file will not be accepted.

Each graduate program may nominate only two graduate students per category, per year.  A student may be nominated for more than one category, but may receive only one award.

There are three award categories: Research, Teaching, and Service & Outreach. In an effort to simplify and process nomination packets more efficiently, please organize your packet in the same order as shown on the appropriate checklist (please see attached). Please be sure to include the appropriate checklist as the first item in your nomination packet.

news from the Grad School

 GRD 699: DISSERTATION 

The Graduate School is offering GRD 699 (Dissertation) once again for Fall 2022 and the first class will be held on Friday, September 9th.  This course is available to all ABD doctoral students (in place of their departmental 699). Students should discuss their interest in GRD 699 with their faculty adviser and if approved, work with their department staff to be enrolled. 

This one-credit independent study course, taught by Robert Danberg of the Writing Initiative, is designed to assist graduate students in two ways: identify a project goal for the course period and become familiar with writing strategies and habits that have helped academic writers.  The principles explored adapt across disciplines and the course has been taken successfully by writers in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Students who take the course are often at different stages -- proposal, prospectus, research, data analysis, drafting chapters, revising chapters, etc.

Graduate School Academic Consultants

The Graduate Academic Writing Consultants are here to help any Binghamton graduate student with writing a paper, a conference presentation, a thesis, a dissertation chapter, or any academic writing task. They can help with developing ideas, organizing paragraphs or sections and developing transitions between them, structuring an argument, learning documentation standards, proper citation, proof-reading and copy edits, and grammar. (The consultants will not write content.)
