The relationship you have with your supervisor will have a huge bearing on your HDR experience. This is why the SUPRA HDR Equity Network has teamed up with ithinkwell to present: 'Managing your Supervisor with Hugh Kearns.'

 

New PhD and Masters students tend to assume that it is the supervisor’s responsibility to manage the relationship and can tend to be a bit passive. However, it is your Research Degree, and you need to be active in the supervisory relationship. Supervisors are usually overworked, under a lot of pressure and like all of us, are not perfect. As a research student you need to have some strategies to work effectively with your supervisor. 

In this workshop you will learn: 

  • How to deal with different supervisory styles 
  • Differing expectations 
  • How to use meetings to help you make progress 
  • Asking for and dealing with feedback 
  • Dealing with difficult situations
