Graduate students can read the following to see if the class is right for them.
Does your advisor intimidate you? Do you have a friendly advisor who doesn’t give useful or timely advice? Do you struggle to understand what your advisor wants from you? Or do you wonder if your advisor even likes or respects you? Are you writing your dissertation long-distance from your advisor? Do you wonder whether you should change advisors? If you answered yes to any of these questions, if you have a question of your own to ask, or if you just want to optimize your relationship with your advisor, this teleclass is for you!All those who sign up will receive bonus gift: an email template that you can use to follow up with your advisor after a meeting.
