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.
