In this workshop we will:
- Explore how to establish a good relationship from the start
- explore setting expectations
- Consider managing boundaries and establishing ground rules
Participants who have completed this course/session will be able to:
- confidently conduct a first meeting with a new masters (PGT) supervisee and ensure that ground rules are established and expectations shared
- Identify strategies for monitoring progress, giving feedback and supporting student through the masters (PGT) project and/or dissertation
- demonstrate understanding of how masters (PGT) supervisory experience can be used to evidence your teaching experience
Participants will have the opportunity to make connections between both forms of supervision but should be mindful that our focus is masters masters (PGT) students and that many aspects of masters masters (PGT) supervision are unique to masters masters (PGT) contexts and are less relevant for research students. We offer a session called Developing as a Doctoral Supervisor where issues related to research students are discussed in greater depth.
Who should attend
Early career, mid career, masters (PGT) supervisors.
