The PhD Chronicles: Share & Share Alike
The cohort has many advantages and I've increasingly grown to appreciate how it has positively impacted my learning. Having always been in a program by myself, I did not realize just what kinds of opportunities happen when you are part of a community of learners engaged in a seriously challenging task. Of course, I should have realized this given what I do know about learning, but not having the chance to experience it first hand left me out in the wind about how powerful it can be.
As the cohort solidifies and members learn more and more about one another, we've become a place of sharing a lot of different things. We have limited time and yet, we take time to share--a lot. Some of the things that we share?
This is, of course, pretty normal for any group as it becomes familiar and knows one another more. But I am just appreciative that this particular group of cohort members does it so damn well!
