Some forums will have designated "Marketplace" or "Help Wanted" discussion threads, in which you can find freelance work or offer your own freelance services. Most forums will provide you with a message center or inbox in which other forum members can contact you. In some cases, potential clients may initially contact you using this method, as opposed to using the contact information provided in your signature.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Once you arrive at your university, you'll likely be given a placement exam. These exams determine where you will start your graduate coursework. Once you take these exams, you'll meet with an advisor to choose the best course of study. You'll be required to do a certain amount of coursework. Work on it early on, so you can get it out of the way as soon as you can. You'll often need to pass some of your early coursework to be green-lighted to start working on your dissertation. Try to focus classes on the area you want to write on. Outside of class, read as much as you can in your area. It's important that your research advisor is someone who you get along with. You're going to be working with them for a good number of years. If you don't have similar interests or the professor won't offer criticism in a way that is constructive for you, your PhD years are going to be miserable. The best way to get started is to attend department functions so you can start getting to know your professors better, as well as their interests. It can also help to talk with older students informally, so you can get an idea of who will be a good fit for you. If you thought time management was difficult in your earlier education, it becomes even more so in your PhD years. You'll need to find time for classes and homework, of course, as well as doing your research and meeting with your advisor. You'll also likely be teaching, and in some cases, you may need to hold down a job, as well. Be prepared to schedule your time down to the minute. Part of managing your time well is learning to shift your schedule when you need to. If something is taking longer than it should, realize you'll need to cut something else from your day. In many cases, you'll be required to take classes on researching and writing. However, that may not always be the case. If it's not (and even if it is), you should take advantage of any workshops and training your school does offer, so you can be ready to research and write when the time comes. You should also take advantage of courses teaching things like writing grant proposals, which is a great skill to have.

SUMMARY: Take your placement exams. Do the required coursework. Connect with professors. Learn to manage your time well. Take advantage of your school's research courses.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you want your honey to retain the benefits of "raw" honey, use the microwave with caution. While quick and efficient, microwaving can easily destroy the beneficial enzymes by overheating them. Besides presenting a possible health hazard, plastic containers don't transfer heat as well as glass does. Bottom line: you'll get the job done quicker and more safely if you move your honey to a glass jar instead of using a plastic container. Cooking time for your batch will vary based on the amount of honey you're liquefying, the starting temperature of the honey, and its sugar content as well as content the wattage of your microwave. It is best to start off at low power and use short microwave times. This may take more cycles and an extra minute or two, but you won't ruin the taste of the honey or inhibit the effectiveness of the good enzymes during the liquefaction process. Experiment to find what works for you in your environment, but experiment cautiously. Above 100F (38C), the flavor of honey is altered; above 120F (49C), the beneficial enzymes in the honey start to break down and stop being effective. If pockets of honey have started to liquefy, stir the honey to help transfer the heat. If the honey hasn't started to liquefy, continue microwaving in 30 second increments until some crystals start to liquefy. Continue until the honey has nearly liquefied, then stir until the process is complete. If most of the honey has liquefied but some stubborn crystals remain, you may want to finish the job off manually by stirring the honey vigorously instead of continuing to heat it.
Summary:
Use a microwave cautiously when liquefying honey. Transfer your honey from any plastic containers into a glass jar by spoon. Start microwaving honey in 30 second increments on the defrost setting. Check for liquefaction of the honey after 30 seconds, particularly near the surface of the jar. Microwave for additional increments of 15 to 30 seconds, stirring after each microwaving session.
