“How to Get the Most Out of the Supervision Relationship”.

This seminar will explore: What sort of a relationship is this? How and why did I get into this relationship? What are our roles? What sorts of changes can we expect in this relationship? What am I doing or not doing to make this relationship work? The seminar will explore how you see yourself as a student – do you recognize your needs? Do you and how can you let your supervisor know your needs? How do you see your supervisor and are you aware of his or her needs? When, where, and how often do you meet and what can you do so that you AND your supervisor get the most out of each meeting? The seminar will explore some of the traps students and supervisors fall into, and how to avoid them, and will also look at how you can ask for and handle feedback and what might feel like criticism.

“How to Stay Sane While Writing a Thesis”

This seminar will help you identify your study goals as well as the strengths and any weaknesses that you bring to your study. The seminar will also look at the procrastination trap, how to manage your time and to minimise stress. It will also explore the rollercoaster of peaks and troughs that can occur when embarking on postgraduate study, as well as how to overcome the dreaded “writer’s block” and feelings of isolation.
