How We Helped Others With Supervising PhD Students
“Great practical examples and work material for improving the supervision of PhD students. Clear structure, not too much lecture teaching, clear and concise slides, good balance between teaching and practical exercises, helpful hand outs, which can be used in supervision without additional work.”

“It was the first time that I attended a course on PhD supervision. For long time, supervising students has been considered one of the many things scientists simply have to know how to do it. It was learning-by-doing (like everything else). It is very valuable to have a course like this providing a framework for supervision.”

“I’ve never had any training in supervision and so really only had my personal experiences to go on. It was incredibly helpful in this course to get to know concrete steps I can take to be a good supervisor for my students who all have different requirements.”

“I really enjoyed the interactive format of the course with exercises in small groups. Online courses I previously attended usually had teacher speaking majority of time. This one was different and really refreshing.”
