[Graduate-research-list] SGRS SEMINARS NEXT WEEK - BOOK NOW!

[Sylvia Barnes]

We have two seminars running next week (as well as the Statistics
session on Wednesday)
 

'Working with your Supervisor' 


Ian Simpson, School of Biological & Environmental Sciences

Cottrell B2,  2pm - 4pm

19th October 2005 

 

PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF VENUE FOR THIS SEMINAR

 

(I have been advised of a mix up in timetabling which will affect a
number of seminars.  Keep checking the graduate list and web page for
updates)

 

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 overworked 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 session 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. 

 

THERE ARE PLACES AVAILABLE ON THIS SESSION -TO BOOK EMAIL ME OR THE
GRADLIST.

 


Bibliographies


Lisa Haddow; Information Services, Library Liaison & Training

 

Library - S21, 2pm - 3pm

20th October 2005

 

This session serves as a very basic background and introduction, for
Postgraduate research students, to the world of bibliographies.  The
problems of citation and reference will be discussed, and some of the
solutions that do not use specialised software. 

 

The session will also examine how specialised software, ProCite in
particular, can help to produce references and citations that are
consistent with common standards.  Note the session does not look at how
to use ProCite
