    Preparation for workshop 1: All participants have to write a case story about a real experience of PhD Supervision. It is best to choose a situation that offered a challenge and it is an advantage if the problem has not yet been solved. If you do not have an experience of PhD supervision, an experience from being a PhD student yourself or from supervision of master students can be used. The story will be used in the planning of the course and you must be willing to share it orally with the other participants. The written story will not be shared. It is ok to write it in a drafty style and the volume is approx. 1/2-1 A4 page. All names, except your own, must be anonymous. Please write your own name on the top of the page, give your story a title and e-mail it to mirjam@learning.aau.dk at latest: October 23, 2024.
