e　more　time　with　individuals。　I　don’t　have　more　than　4　students　each　year　as　their　chief　advisor。　Also；　it’s　a　norm　and　expectation　for　a　professor　to　spend　more　time　on　teaching。　They　would　have　some　problems　if　they　are　bad　teachers。　Students　have　the　newspapers　and　the　school　also　has　evaluations。　At　Yale；　students　go　to　the　puters　to　do　the　evaluation；　I　can　see　the　ments　and　evaluation　but　other　professors　can’t。　These　evaluations　are　informal；　but　if　you　don’t　do　well；　the　word　will　get　around。

C： What　steps　should　a　student　take　to　prepare　for　graduation　studies？

D： Good　English　is　’s　not　new。　They　don’t　know　what　getting　’t　have　a　3　year　cap　like　Law　School。　It　takes　you　five　or　six　years　to　learn　how　to　write　a　dissertation　and　that’s　not　the　end　of　a　rainbow。　You　won’t　be　paid　like　a　lawyer　or　a　doctor。　I　see　many　students　came　across　this　difficulty　in　the　third　or　fourth　year　that　they　don’t　want　to　continue　but　I　don’t　see　many　Chinese　students　quit　and　they　seem　to　know　what　they　are　doing　and　be　more　embedded　in　this　life。

C：　 If　you　were　meeting　with　a　group　of　students　from　China；　what　advice　would　you　give　them　to　help　them　be　successful　at　Yale？

D： They　should　be　enterprising。　Go　out　to　use　the　system；　to　meet　people　and　to　try　out　classes。　Use　Yale　as　a　base　and　as　well　as　a　resource　to　go　to　different　places　to　be　exposed　to　a　different　culture。　There　are　many　Chinese　students　studying　in　the　States　and　they　should　try　to　go　outside　of　them；　not　only　hang　out　with　their　own　people。

C：　 What　has　your　experience　been　with　Chinese　students？

D： My　experience　with　Chinese　students　for　the　last　fifteen　years　is　that　they　were　smart　and　good　at　mathematics　and　were　well…prepared；　but　before　that；　students　who　came
