ONLINE: Postgraduate Supervision Training (for Postdoctoral Fellows) Part Three (REPEAT)

About this workshop

Most Postdoctoral Fellows find themselves involved in both co-supervision and supervision of postgraduate students, ranging from Honours, to Master’s and Doctoral students. By virtue of their focus on research and possible further pathway in an academic career, this is a natural and expected part of a Postdoc’s development.

This three-part online workshop series offers UCT Postdocs an opportunity to engage in understanding postgraduate student needs and good supervision practises within the UCT system (which is not unlike most other university systems).  Presenters drawn from within UCT will interact with Postdocs in a diverse and informative programme.

The topics to be covered in Part 3 are:

  • Managing the process and the research project on the postgraduate journey
  • Understanding examination processes
  • Research integrity and responsible conduct of research - a primer

 

What previous attendees have said about this workshop:

  • "I appreciate to have received supervision insights from highly experienced people. I enjoyed hearing about the challenges and the joy when supervising people. Foremost are enjoyed hearing how to solve problems and how to avoid them."
  • "Identifying my supervision style and trying to understand how I can adapt it to accommodate the needs of my students."
  • "I learnt more about my roles a Postdoctoral Fellow and what is expected of me. Also how not to be a bad supervisor to my students."
