[nabs-l] Readers

[Munawar Bijani]

You should ask the department if there are any doctoral students who will read for you. For something like biology you need someone who's familiar with everything. And in any sort of STEM major there are a lot of symbols they will need to recognize without fumbling, else you're trying to figure out what the reader means and are also taking the exam.

They are always people who have taken the class or a similar class I'm working on, cause otherwise they wouldn't even be able to describe or say a lot of the stuff they need to read.  I guess my question is where do you find the best readers, and how do you manage your time with them.
