Crossing the Finish Line: Helping Students Find Finishing Energy
b'
In this episode of Mentoring Matters we discuss how to help your graduate students plan for the end. Of their graduate program that is.
We cover things we've done (or wish we had done) to help graduate students plan for and execute an excellent final thesis and even discuss some tips for preparing for the defense.
1) Starting in their penultimate semester, work with the student to lay out a series of deadlines that breaks that big, scary thesis into manageable chunks (for you and the student!)
2) Assume something is going to derail #1, and leave yourself a cushion of time at the end to catch up on any bits of writing not quite completed.
3) How to help your students catch "finishing energy"
4) Helping students with the job search.
