Questions related to Student Supervision
A postgraduate candidate refers to you and asks to be offered a research topic for his/her thesis. Will you offer a research topic? if yes, why? If no, why?
It is expected to select a thesis topic which is relevant to current times yet sustainable for the times to come. However, there are multiple other factors to consider before one can lock-in THE TOPIC to furnish one's thesis on.
Looking forward to hearing your pearls of wisdom and years of experience. Please educate!
Thanking you in advance.
I was just wondering to know your opinion, how much support should a supervisor extend to the PhD student? Can you say the name of the support, say,
- Helping to develop academic language by developing an argument, scholarly conventions, consistency and style?
- To help student set goals and deadline.
And what?
Hi all,
I would like to find out which systems do most researchers use to manage and effectively review their students' outputs (i.e. proposals, chapters and manuscripts). How does one effectively allocate and track your time to different student projects? Regarding reviewing of documents, I know many use "track changes" in Word, some do comments in a PDF viewer, some still prefer a printout and write comments in pencel. Which system is the most effective and used by the majority?
Thanks,
Carel
I am working on article on victimisation of students by mentors that has resulted in an increase in student drop out.I would like to come up with strategies that institutions of higher education can use to collect non identifying feedback from students affected by mentor attitudes.
positive parameters in teaching can increase motivation in students?
I'd like to start an online lab notebook that is completely open and readable, shared with lab assistants and the world (explained on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_notebook_science). I'd also really like a whole online system for lab management- project organizing, sharing multiple notebooks and datasets.. Any suggestions? I work in genetics and ecology but I think the system could be from any field. Thanks!
APP seems to be the only system used in the UK schools? what about the other curricula? how are the using students' assessment data to help them achieve to their fullest potential.
I consider student self assessment has a vital importance in assessment processes.
Dear all researcher
i want to study about student activities during classroom. my research method is experimental approach. i do treatment in experiment class and I assess students learning activities. I hypothesized that my treatment will effect to student activity during classroom.
but, I am doubt, whether data of student's learning activity have obtained during learning is the impact of my treatment. because my literature of experimental approach design state that the effect of treatment can be measured after the treatment have been done.
if my understanding is correct, so i hope some suggestion about how to measure the effect of my treatment to student's learning activity.
But, if my understanding is wrong, so i hope some of study about assessing the effect of learning treatment or theory about educational research method to measure learning activities.
hi, I'm lookingfor research on effect of physical education for colleage student. Thanks in advance
I am currently working on a project to identify, develop and disseminate best practice in supporting undergraduate, honours and coursework dissertation supervision (see http://www.dissertationsupervision.org). I’m seeking resources and tools that may be useful to supervisors and/or students facing supervision issues please. I’d welcome any suggestions. Full attribution will be made for any contributions.
I'm interested in the academic perspective of students completing their thesis alongside or within a company (not) connected to the university. If you have any comments relating to the questions below I would love to hear them.
1. Does your university offer the opportunity for students to work with companies in their research?
2. Is the quality of work done generally equal/above/below when compared to the traditional approach?
3. Have you encountered problems when a student has done research with a company?
4. Is there a need for platforms such as: http://matchmythesis.com/?
5. Are there any experiences where this has been a positive experience?
6. Related comments.
All discussion is welcome, thanks.
The core of postgraduate supervision is feedback by the supervisor. How do you achieve effective feedback in the supervisory process?
I have a report to do about what would I change about my university, related to IT.
During an exam it's not that difficult to talk to other students especially in a big lecture hall. Is there a way for professors to minimize the amount of cheating on an exam? What IT software could they use instead of making multiple tests?
Considering that you are the main supervisor, and that you help the student not only with his/her research, but also with the writing of the thesis, have you ever jumped into numbers and summed how many hours you spend with the entire process (for one single student)?
