Acknowledging the significant impact of quality supervision on the student learning experience, the Graduate School arranged a hybrid-mode induction for research postgraduate supervisors on 19 April. The primary focus of the induction was to provide guidance and support to supervisors who are new to their roles or possess limited expertise, ensuring that they acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively fulfil their responsibilities.
Two experienced supervisors, Professor Reynold Cheng, Associate Dean (Student Enrichment) of Faculty of Engineering at the University of Hong Kong and Professor Han Xiaorong, Head of Department of Chinese History and Culture (CHC) at PolyU, were invited to share invaluable insights and best practices in supervision. Their sharing aimed to enhance the understanding of supervision fundamentals, address potential challenges and highlight the support required for different types of candidatures.
The event commenced with a warm welcome note and opening remarks by Professor Cao Jiannong, Dean of Graduate School, and Professor Christopher Chao, Vice President (Research and Innovation), respectively. Later, Professor Cao featured an overview of the research postgraduate study cycle and expectations of an effective supervision role with explanations and guiding tips.
Supervisors are pivotal in shaping the next generation of scholars and innovators. The Graduate School is committed to fostering engagement and inspiring excellence in supervision practices.
