Abstract:
As part of our ongoing efforts to improve supervision in the School, and to help research staff accumulate points for supervisor registration, we will have a panel discussion in the School seminar slot on Friday 16th September.
The session will be informal, and the panel will discuss issues raised by
research staff. Possible topics include
aspects of research supervision such as how to start off a brand-new student,
what is the key to a good proposal (PhD/MBR scope etc.), tracking student
progress from meeting to meeting, avoiding getting sidetracked, how much interest
to take in a student's personal/financial wellbeing, when is a thesis
"ready",...
We're happy to collate anonymous "all you ever wanted to know but were afraid
to ask" questions for presentation to the panel; feel free to send your questions or
comments to: Saied Tahaghoghi
(saied.at.cs.rmit.edu.au).
The panel might come up with topics of the "all we wanted to say but never found to right forum for it" type too :)
