Description of the Session
This workshop is targeted towards faculty who are new to the process of guiding PhD and Masters students in their research. It would also be useful for future faculty (i.e.), post-docs and senior PhD students who are inclined towards a faculty role. The workshop will begin with getting an understanding one’s position on the research continuum, followed by one’s goals while guiding a student. Then it will move to the various stages of the work, such as how to ensure that the student makes progress, what to do when one is stuck and closing the work with appropriate publications.
