A team-based approach to HDR supervision

Presenter: Professor Rob J Hyndman

Date: Wednesday 26 August

Time: 12pm - 2pm with light lunch provided

Venue: Caulfield campus (Venue to be confirmed upon registration)

Professor Hyndman will lead a workshop on his approach to HDR supervision. With his group of PhD students and post-doctoral fellows, Rob has encouraged shared learning experiences in an environment where individual and isolated learning has been the norm. The team-based approach has led students to be more confident, more productive, and sustain greater motivation and enthusiasm. He has developed many new online resources for his students, employed a copy editor to assist students with their theses and helped new students to get settled. Rob was awarded the 2008 Vice-Chancellor's Award for Postgraduate Supervision in recognition of his outstanding contribution as a teacher, mentor and model.
