About the course
Please note: The course is only held given there are enough applicants for the semester.
A complementary supervisor training course (two half-days and a few assignments) is offered to doctoral supervisors who have already undergone extensive supervisor training at another university, and only need to complement with knowledge and awareness about supervision at Uppsala university and especially at our faculty.
We will critically reflect on local guidelines and regulations as well as disciplinary culture, and their effect on doctoral education. The individual study plan (ISP) used at Teknat will be treated both as a legal document and a tool for planning and follow-up of studies, and reflection over the development. Moreover, the aims and purposes of doctoral education at the faculty will be discussed.
For newly appointed main and assistant supervisors, the 3-weeks-course given by central UU is recommended.
Schedule
The course is arranged by the Council for Educational Development at the Faculty of Science and Technology and senior educational officer at the Faculty Office
We would like to clarify that physical attendance is required. Supervisors based on Gotland may be granted an exemption to attend only one of the two sessions in person and participate via Zoom for the other. However, it is not acceptable to miss an entire session and assume that assignments can replace it. The discussions are important.
As a policy, participants may miss up to 1 out of 3 hours of a session. In such cases, a small compensatory assignment will be required compensate for the missed hour.
