Graduate Supervision Series for Faculty

Monday, September 20, 2021 10:00 am - Friday, November 5, 2021 11:30 am EDT (GMT -04:00)

Location: Online 

Description

Since Fall 2015, CTE and the Office of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs (GSPA) have offered a series of workshops on graduate supervision practices, primarily for those seeking Approved Doctoral Dissertation Supervision (ADDS) Status. Typically these are held on Fridays early in the Fall and Winter terms. We have now moved online to a largely asynchronous approach over the course of several weeks.

The modules will occur in LEARN asynchronously, with two synchronous panel sessions on September 24, 2021 from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. and October 29 from 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. - the sessions will be recorded in case participants are unable to make one or both. 

We use GoSignMeUp for registration; first sign in with your UW login credentials, then sign up for the full workshop. We will add you to the LEARN site for the workshop and its modules. Questions can be directed to Trevor Holmes tholmes@uwaterloo.ca
