Quote From rewt:
Every PhD is different and getting started is one of the hardest parts of a PhD. Before my PhD I had no research experience and was similarly lost but so was everyone else. Though I would suggest reading as much as you can. It doesn't need to be tailored but read whatever you find interesting or think is important so that you start building your wider knowledge. I personally think to many PhD students have no knowledge outside their niche area and getting a perspective of the wider field helps so much later on in your PhD. So just start reading without forcing it.
thanks

I'd like to know how to start my PhD study

I am a new PhD student and this is the 2nd week in my PhD study. But I still don't know how to start, and what do I need to talk with my supervisor at this stage. There is no guidelines from the university and only 1 class a week, and I don't want to waste my time. I guess I need to ask for help from my supervisor, but I am afraid that the question 'how to start a PhD study' is too silly, so I can't start to talk with my supervisor. I know I lack technical fundamentals in research, so, could anyone give me some advice? thanks.
