- Minimum of 8 meetings across the duration of the project
- Supervisors are not there to do the project
- They are there to get you started and offer guidance on the way through. Students must take the initiative in the project
- Remember that help from academic supervisors, co-supervisors, technical staff, PhD researchers is not available on-tap!

MEETING RECORDS

- A template is provided on Canvas. This should be typed up after the meeting and given to your supervisor at the next meeting
- Academic staff may be supervising many projects, so these records are an invaluable aid to them also
