UTQ SUPERVISE

How to supervise individual students during a BA or MA graduation assignment and / or a PhD-programme? SUPERVISE consists of 3 sessions in which you will focus on your skills as a supervisor: how to communicate with the student, how to motivate him/her and how to monitor progress?   

In this module you are requested to participate actively by discussing cases, brainstorming about supervision strategies, sharing experiences, bringing in own cases, and practicing your skills in practice simulations. Every session you will hone your skills by doing exercises in small groups and practicing conversation techniques. We will pay attention to the start of the project, the milestones and your roles as supervisor in the different stages of the graduation or PhD-project.
