Supervising research students CLS905
This course is designed as an entry point for research student supervisors and aims to help participants: * develop and reflect upon their (new) role as supervisors of research students, * gain basic knowledge about the goals and regulations for doctoral studies at Chalmers, * gain a better understanding of the principles and practices of good supervision during the different phases of the research study process. The course addresses supervision of doctoral students’ research and the study and learning process. It also highlights the close link between supervision and education in the skills of teaching and learning. The course clarifies how a supervisor may meet a PhD student as an individual by taking an inclusive approach and, with that student, build a relationship based on mutual understanding of postgraduate education in general and the student’s research project in particular. The course provides plenty of opportunity for discussion and reflection on how to start up and follow the doctoral supervision process in different phases. Please be aware that this course places less emphasis on the PhD student recruitment process and thesis defence. Rather, it points to further Chalmers courses addressing those topics in more depth. See the course syllabus for a detailed overview. Important: this course (or equivalent) is a requirement for promotion to Associate Professor at Chalmers. However, it cannot count towards the 15 higher education credits required for the Diploma in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (see the Chalmers appointment regulations). There is also a requirement that Chalmers faculties should participate in continuous professional development by attending supervisory development activities. If you have already attended the older, discontinued course CIU930 Supervision of Research (3 HEC), you do not need to attend Supervising Research Students. Course enrolment opens on the following dates (or the first working day thereafter): 1st November, for the spring term. 1st May, for the autumn term. The dates/schedules for the course will be published by the following dates (or the first working day thereafter): 1st October, for the spring term. 1st March, for the autumn term. Our main target group is lecturers at Chalmers. The course is not open to doctoral students. The course is free to Chalmers employees. Lecturers outside Chalmers are welcome to apply but their institution must meet the course fees. These are SEK 1,500 per higher education credit point. Enrolment for external participants and guest researchers opens six weeks after enrolment opens for Chalmers employees, 15th June in the spring and 15th December in the autumn. There are no formal prerequisites, but it is strongly recommended that you have prior experience of supervising doctoral or master students. Also, if you are working toward the Diploma of Teaching and Learning of Higher Education then it is recommended that you complete the two courses CLS926 University Teaching and Learning and CLS930 Diversity and Inclusions for Learning in Higher Education (or similar) prior to this course.
