What can you do as an advisor to make completing a research-focused higher degree easier for your students and for you? The Graduate Division will be sponsoring a workshop led by Hugh Kearns of ThinkWell to âteach the most useful secrets researchers have discovered for supporting graduate students.
This course gives âadvisors (such as faculty members and postdoctoral researchers) practical strategies to deal with common challenges such as:
- supervisor/student relations
- dealing with writer's block
- attitude (or lack thereof!) in relation to the research higher degree (RHD) - it's not a Nobel prize
- getting your student to seek help when they are stuck
- the student who never has enough time
- treating the RHD like a job
- keeping on going when the going gets tough
