All PDRAs and PhDs are expected to play a central role in writing and proof reading of their own work and that of others
PhD Supervision and 1:1s
1:1s to continue weeky between PDRA and student – and every 4-6 weeks with Rebecca. PDRA leaders are expected to ensure that students meet deadlines with reports and presentations – delivering to Rebecca a well proofed and corrected report at least 2 weeks ahead of the deadline to allow time for reading and corrections (For company funded students an additional month is required for company clearance).
