[Wilma Ellis]

STIRLING GRADUATE RESEARCH SCHOOL



Working with your Supervisor 

Professor Ian Simpson, School of Biological and Environmental Sciences 

Wednesday 12th November 2003
2B121 Cottrell, 2-4pm

Admire them or despair at them, every PhD student has a supervisor who's
trying to help you along the path to your doctorate. How do you the student
get the right information from them? Should you brow beat the poor over
worked supervisor into a pulp to extract guidance or sit patiently by their
door for the wisdom to ooze from underneath? This seminar tries to open the
old can of worms about student-supervisor relationships in an attempt to
identify some short cuts for the new and even more experienced supervisor.

This sessions will help you to manage your supervisor for success; highlight
difficulties that you may experience; to identify methods of best practice
and includes an introduction to the supervisors view on best management
practices; who has responsibility for what; examine the relationship between
student and supervisor; identify short cuts.
