4. Beoordeling en begeleiding

  • [2019] Leiden University: Golden rules for PhD supervision. 2018,, Leiden University decided to come to a set of “Golden Rules for PhD Supervision”. Discussions showed that due to the absence of a clear job description, it is difficult for both parties, PhD candidates and supervisors alike, to know what is required of them and what can be expected from the other party. Explicit and official guidelines will bring transparency for both sides, thus making it easier for supervisors to focus on their responsibilities and encourage PhD candidates to take initiative and ask for needed support. golden-rules-phd-supervision (1)

    Abstract
    Het als bijlage bij dit formulier toegevoegde statuut beoogt enerzijds invulling te geven aan de inhoud van ‘goede begeleiding’ en anderzijds aan te geven hoe die goede begeleiding kan worden gerealiseerd. Vanzelfsprekend is er niet één wijze van goede begeleiding. Op grond van ervaringen vanuit het verleden kan echter wel worden aangegeven wat succesfactoren zijn. Die succesfactoren komen tot uitdrukking in dit document. Daarnaast wordt een lijst aangeboden met diverse aandachtspunten voor een gesprek tussen promotor/dagelijks begeleider en de promovendus.

  • Hans Sonneveld (ed.) & EEMCS supervisors, Supervisors at work! Guidance of PhD candidates at the Graduate School of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (TU Delft). Graduate School EEMCS, October 2014.
    The Graduate School EEMCS wants to get more insight in the way supervisors act when guiding PhD candidates. For that PhD supervisors were consulted. They were asked to give advice to an imaginary new colleague. Besides, eight principal PhD supervisors have been interviewed. The results of both of these exercises have been brought together in this publication. For conveying the different views, we chose for a narrative style in which the reader is addressed by an experienced supervisor. Full text.

  • [2007] Analysis of graduation delay, Wageningen Institute of Animal Sciences (WIAS)
    Abstract
    Although WIAS PhD students graduate faster than the national average, the KNAW advised us, at our re-accreditation in 2000, to reduce graduation delay. First we made an analysis of the causes of graduation delay, and this yielded suggestions for several measures. Median time to graduation has dropped from 5.2 (cohort 1994) to 4.7 years (cohorts after 1997).

  • [2007] Sonneveld, H. The Quality of ASSR dissertations. An analysis of opinions on the qualities of theses defended by PhD recipients of the Amsterdam School for Social science Research.Abstract.
    In 2002, the Amsterdam School by way of its executive director has started to collect evaluative data on the quality of the 100 dissertations that have been defended by ASSR PhD students. The author was able to lay hands on just a few documents. To compensate for the absence of elaborated evaluations, the author has asked the supervisors with a considerable number of PhD recipients to describe the strong and weak qualities of the theses that have been defended under their responsibility. The comments that are presented in the report cover 41 dissertations. PDF-bestand

7. De arbeidsmarkt voor gepromoveerden

  • [2007] WIAS Workshop Career Coaching
  • Abstract.
    PhD students and their supervisors are focused on the PhD thesis and not on the
    student’s career after graduation. We offer our PhD students courses and
    assessments to prepare for that later career, but the coaching role of supervisors in
    career orientation was still a blind spot. Therefore, we organised a workshop
    ‘Career Coaching’ for PhD students and their supervisors.
