Working with your advisor

Presented by Roel Snieder

In this workshop we cover the opportunities and pitfalls in working with your advisor. Different advisors have different styles, and different students have different needs. We cover different  supervision styles and how these might serve the needs of different students. A positive work relation between graduate students and their advisors is essential, and it is important that expectations between student and advisor are matched. We will discuss these expectations—what is reasonable and what is not—and provide a tool that helps streamline the collaboration between student and advisor.  Lastly we will cover options a student has when the collaboration with an advisor does not go well. 

Please register in advance. Lunch will be provided for preregistered attendees.
