'Working with your Supervisor' Ian Simpson, School of Biological & Environmental Sciences Cottrell 2A13, 2pm - 4pm 13th October 2004 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 still places available on this session. - If you wish to register, please email me or the gradlist Sylvia Barnes Secretary, Planning & Research Office Room 3B1 x 7041
