UTQ/BKO for PhD students: Start to Supervise
Wouter Buursma (w.buursma@vu.nl)
Course description
Especially in the final phase of university studies, it is important to offer students adequate individual guidance. The course ‘Start to Supervise’ gives you the basic skills for this. You will learn to address common problems in the supervision and assessment of graduation projects. You will explore methods to 'tailor' the student's learning proces and become aware on your level of competence as a professional. You will also practice effective student feedback and interview techniques. The course consists of two half-day meetings. You will also spend approximately 21 hours preparing and working out assignments.
This course is a part of the UTQ program for PhD’s. You can obtain a proof of participation for this course. If necessary (e.g., in case of changing employers), proof of participation for an individual module can be converted into a partial certificate for BKO. If you successfully complete all modules, you can, if you choose to, obtain your full BKO certificate.
