Workshop on Research Supervision 2012
Highlights of 2012 Workshop on Research Supervision
Description
A good cohesive supervisor-student relationship is essential in assisting postgraduate research students achieve their learning outcomes. By negotiating expectations about the roles and responsibilities of both supervisor and student early on, the research journey for both parties can be engaging and rewarding. This workshop will provide a practical overview of best research supervision practices, including explicit examples from the Faculties of Science and Business Administration. We will discuss strategies to help supervisors support and manage their postgraduates successfully.
