Department Gathering
02-11-12A chat about graduate students and research
Abstract
We are going to have a relaxed chat about graduate students around the following questions:
- How do we see our relation to graduate students under our supervision?
- What are our concerns about graduate students?
- How do you help students find a research problem to work on for thesis writing? Specifically, how do you help them manage the scope?
- What do we think of the current practice of academic research, and where it may be going?
- What do we think of MPhil, PhD, a career in research or otherwise?
