‘Working with your Supervisor’

Ian Simpson, School of Biological & Environmental Sciences

Cottrell B2, 2pm – 4pm

19^th 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

20^th 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
