Supervision: Supporting candidates through the Provisional Year
The School of Graduate Studies facilitates workshops for research supervisors at Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland.
This session is about supporting your candidates throughout the first year of enrolment, ensuring they are completing milestones and progressing toward a successful confirmation of candidature review. You will develop an understanding of provisional year procedures, and a plan to help individual candidates achieve their milestones.
You will hear from a guest panel of experienced supervisors and have your questions answered. Key topics include:
- Confirmation milestones, including when and how to set additional milestones
- Confirmation of candidature review, including key responsibilities of supervisors
- Practical advice on supporting a range of candidates, from those who may be excelling, to those who may be struggling
