Expectations: Starting Graduate Students Off Right

Send us a text

Clear communication is key to success when working with graduate students. Articulating expectations at the start will pay dividends in the long run! 

In this episode we discuss how to:

1. Clearly communicate what you expect from your students, begin this during the interview. They should know what they are getting into... 
2. Consider using a mutual expectations document to ensure you hit the important points and everyone is on the same page. 
3. Take time early to work with and provide guidance to your students to get them engaged and develop productive habits.

We want to hear from you!

The question of the week is: How do you clearly communicate expectations with your graduate students?
