Brown Bag: How to Work With Faculty with Dr. Bill Wells

Thu, Jan 22, 2015
3:30 - 4:30 P.M.
Bates Room, Criminal Justice Center

Working with a faculty member is something that all graduate students will experience at some point during their time at SHSU. However, we quickly learn that not all faculty members have the same working style as other faculty or as the students assigned to them. Dr. Wells will be discussing how to work with a diverse set of faculty and how to adapt to their methods, even if they are vastly different from your own. Dr. Wells has worked with a variety of graduate students during his time at SHSU with tasks ranging from independent research, to acting as teaching assistants, to engaging in data collection during grant and research projects. His insight will be helpful to even the most veteran of graduate students.

Presented by the College of Criminal Justice and the Criminal Justice Graduate Student Organization.
