Talk on supervision

Dr. Christopher Hill, Director of the Graduate School, University of Nottingham Malaysia gave a talk on supervision on July 23, 2008. The talk was very illuminating where he describes the various roles and expectations of both the supervisers and students. The presentation was also well attended.

Judging from the questions and discussions, the attendees were very enthusiastic about wanting to supervise graduate students.


To encourage active listening, the Centre gave out gifts to those who asked participated actively during the talk. If you did not attend, then you have missed a very good opportunity. Nonetheless, the a copy of the presentation will be posted soon. Be on the lookout for it.
