*Dear Colleagues*

*_Supporting Effective Practice in Postgraduate Supervision Workshop_*

*PLEASE NOTE:  This intensive research supervision workshop meets 
Strathclyde’s requirements for research supervisors, but does not form 
part of Strathclyde’s PgCert AAS and is non-accredited.*

*29th August, 10.00 – 15.30* (refreshments from 9.45)

Location TBC.

This one-day, intensive workshop has been developed around the 
postgraduate student - and supervisor - journey. The morning looks at 
the beginning of the supervision process: initial conceptions and 
expectations around supervision, roles and responsibilities of both 
supervisor and student, and the 'Rough Guide' to the rules & regulations 
of supervisory practice. In the afternoon we will first consider the 
middle part of the journey by looking in detail at a number of case 
studies of supervision drawn from real-life examples, and then move to 
the end point of the journey by considering examination of the thesis 
and preparing the student for viva. We end by drawing together ideas, 
examples from practice, resources etc. into a 'toolkit' for good 
practice in postgraduate supervision.

The workshop will be interactive with plenty of opportunities for 
discussion, debate, and reflection on practice. We find that often, 
academics don't get the chance to meet and share experiences as 
'supervisors' and that events such as these provide a very useful space 
in which to be able to achieve this and to update on the latest practice 
and ideas.

About the presenters,  Lesley McLellan & Lorraine Walsh (University of 
Dundee):  prior to her current role as  Director of Quality Assurance at 
Dundee, Lesley was a senior academic working in the School of Medicine 
at the University of Dundee, with the role of College Head of Learning & 
Teaching. Lorraine is a historian by training who moved into Education 
and is now Head of Educational Development and eLearning at Dundee. Both 
have extensive experience of supervision at Doctoral level and are 
currently involved in rolling out a programme of development 
opportunities in postgraduate supervision at Dundee in addition to 
external consultancy work in this area.

Strathclyde’s requirements for research supervisors, but does not form
