Creating the 7 Secrets of Highly Successful PhD students (for supervisors)
You know what it is your PhD student should be doing, but it just doesn’t seem to be happening. Despite your best efforts to set up good habits for your student, it just does not work. Why is this, and what can you do about it to make completing a PhD easier for your students and for you?
Students attending the program have consistently reported an increase in the progress they are making towards completing their PhDs. Now they have asked us to please tell their supervisors what we are telling them!
This course will give you practical strategies to deal with common problems such as:
* supervisor/student relations
* dealing with writer’s block
* attitude (or lack thereof!) in relation to the PhD - it’s not a nobel prize
* getting your student to seek help when they are stuck
* the student who never has enough time
* treating the PhD like a job
* keeping on going when the going gets tough
