Supervisor

Your responsibility, select them is your choice

In 2009, the US Council of Graduate Schools

in Washington DC reported survey results

showing that 65% of the 1,856 doctoralstudents who responded identified mentoring

or advising as a main factor in PhD completion


22

2014



Three main items to be done

1.Meetings

2.Feedback3.Managing up


23

2014



Feedback

1. You need to be a bit more specific

2. Identify clearly the type of feedback you are

looking for.

3. Maintaining your adviser means asking forwhat you need rather than hoping that he or

she will know what to provide.

4. Yes/no


25

2014



Managing up

1. PhD is yours!!!

2. Please comes to them with suggestions and

solutions as well as problems, gets things

done and makes the job of advising easier.3. If your adviser is not giving you what you

need, you need to go out and get it.


26

Another Good News

You only have to write

ONE thesis

At the end, you can add“Dr” to your name

Good for upgrades and

promotion

Possibly new salary

scheme for PhD/MScholder


27

2014



The Bad News

Writing a thesis ishard, painful work

You‟ve already done

the fun part (theresearch)

It‟s unlike any other

document Thesis writing is not a

marketable skill


28

2014

O



The main TWO obstacles in thesis

writing

To put the ideas on

paper as what your

supervisor want

To organize/format

it as stated by your

university’s

guidelines

Doing research is fun, however…


29

2014



Ok, when do I start?

So I‟m motivated

When do I actually

start writing?

No, the day you start

your PhD

Write it all down!


30

2014



Read some theses

From THE BEST

student of your

supervisor

Good way to get a

feel for the beast
