We are delighted to invite you to the GUIDE workshop series presented in collaboration with the educational developers from the Faculty of Health and the Teaching Commons.
Tuesday, Oct 26 from 10 –11:30 am
Get timely advice from current graduate students on how to be more successful in your external funding application. Successful past applicants, Raphael Gastrock and Shanaa Modchalingam, from the Faculty of Health will be joining us as panelists. After Q&A with the panelist, we will break-out into groups for a peer review session so bring your research proposal drafts and curriculum vitae (CV) to get timely feedback from your peers. The educational developers (Yasaman Delaviz and Natasha May) will moderate the session, and they may offer additional tips and promising practices.
Monday, Nov 22 from 10 –11 am
Taking on the role of teaching assistant (TA) alongside your graduate studies means you need to carefully plan your time and master a new balancing act between the two roles. Join us in the open discussion session as participants will share tips and best practices that helped them find the balance in their dual roles as TAs and grad students. Topics of discussion may include strategies for planning and managing workload, tracking your hours, setting boundaries, facilitating discussions, and engaging students in-person and online. The educational developers (Yasaman Delaviz and Natasha May) will moderate the session, and they may offer additional tips and promising practices.
Tuesday, Nov 23 from 12 –1:30 pm
Are you looking for a way to organize your research and in extension, your mind? As a graduate student you have access to cloud-based storage service (i.e., OneDrive) and a variety of referencing management systems (e.g., Zotero) that can help you organize your work and better navigate your program. Join us as we discuss the pros, limitations, and best practices of different tools and publishing mediums (preprint, open-source, closed journals).
