Research supervision workshop

Published on 26 August 2009

Today I gave a work­shop for super­vi­sors of post­grad­u­ate stu­dents. Mostly I talked about cre­at­ing a team envi­ron­ment for post­grad­u­ate stu­dents rather than the tra­di­tional model (at least in sta­tis­tics and econo­met­rics) of each stu­dent work­ing in isolation.

The slides are avail­able here in pre­sen­ta­tion form or in hand­out form. Actu­ally, these are an edited ver­sion of the slides as I acci­den­tally left out a cou­ple of the pho­tographs in the work­shop, and I’ve omit­ted slides that I didn’t end up cov­er­ing in the workshop.

An impor­tant part of my research group is this blog. So if you haven’t been here before, please take a look around.

For those peo­ple who attended, feel free to add com­ments below if you would like to pro­vide feed­back on the work­shop.

    Dear Rob

    Your PhD slides came across my desk today. I am an aca­d­e­mic at Monash and bal­anc­ing that with being a PhD stu­dent at Mac­quarie Uni­ver­sity NSW via DE. Your slides were really use­ful to me as I could relate to them — most of my study is done in iso­la­tion with phone calls and emails to my super­vi­sor, I don’t know any other Mac­quarie PhD stu­dents, and I did have to change PhD super­vi­sors last year when the super­vi­sion rela­tion­ship broke down. Your PhD stu­dents appear to be hav­ing too much fun which is great — I wish I could go on trips to the foot­ball and pub nights!

    Keep up the good super­vis­ing because I reckon that is a cru­cial part of suc­cess for students.
