How to choose the right graduate supervisor for you

How to choose a supervisor when you are admitted to graduate school1

Choosing a graduate supervisor is very important, and this is especially true for working graduate students. However, there are also a large number of colleges and universities that do not require the selection of tutors. These schools are generally selected in both directions after admission through the mutual understanding between teachers and students.

Of course, if you can contact a teacher who is optimistic about your quality and ability, then it will definitely bring you a lot of help.

Even if some tutors can't decide to admit you, they are helpful in helping you understand the direction of professional research, professional strength, professional application and admission, as well as the focus of the re-examination subjects and the form of examination. Therefore, it is important to do your best to reach out to a good mentor (even if he or she does not end up being your mentor) and communicate effectively with her. The ideal frame of reference would look like this:

Mentor with strong scientific research ability. The main purpose of graduate school is to improve one's scientific research strength and prepare for the rapid entry into work roles after graduation, and the scientific research ability of graduate students is formed under the guidance of supervisors. If the supervisor's scientific research ability is not good, and it is completely up to the graduate students to explore by themselves, it will be more difficult to make achievements in some aspects.

The research direction of the tutor is in line with his or her own interests and professional pursuits. You should start from your own interests as much as possible, have an in-depth understanding of the research direction of your supervisor, and choose those supervisors whose research direction is consistent with your own interests. This can be seen through the supervisor's recent publications** as well as recent research topics.

After choosing a supervisor, a working graduate student must be realistic when conducting an interview. Don't tell lies, say whatever you have, and don't hide your shortcomings. It doesn't matter if the ability is poor or the background is almost there, the key is to be sincere, open-minded, motivated, diligent in learning, brave in challenges, and bold in changing your destiny.

How do I choose a supervisor after passing the part-time graduate exam?

According to the impression in the hearts of ordinary people, tutors are divided into three categories: academic, practical and comprehensive tutors, the former is a more traditional university professor, while the practical tutors are more in science and engineering colleges, these tutors are generally engaged in the development of actual scientific research projects or market projects, and guide students to publish and apply for patents by doing research and development.

In fact, if it is subdivided, academic tutors can also be divided into administrative and purely academic according to the identity of these tutors, the research direction they are engaged in, and the actual work direction. According to the author's understanding, it is more appropriate to divide the tutor according to his own identity, that is, the tutor is a professor in a university or a senior engineer in a research institute.

Generally, after the tutor hears the score, combined with the score line and admission situation in previous years, the words will reveal to you the possibility of admission with this score, whether it is very high, very low or about the same. A very high or similar word may congratulate or encourage you, and a low word may give you a tactful rejection or advise you to prepare with both hands and plan ahead. You can use these signals from your mentor to prepare for the next step.

What does an email to a tutor do? It's to let the mentor know that there is such a person as you and to connect with the mentor. In the supervisor's email, you should explain in detail that you are applying for his graduate school, and then introduce yourself, you can attach transcripts and some positive materials, and do not write exaggerated things.

Preferably, it is some hardware such as a scanned copy of the certificate, your ** (excerpt), etc.

It is also necessary to tell very deeply why you chose this major, to be honest and not to say too much, to write your understanding of the major, and why you chose to cross schools and apply for the teacher's examination. Finally, write down your vision and plan for the future, so that the mentor can understand what you want and what kind of life you want to live in the future.

It is necessary to show reverence for the teacher, but you can't go overboard, because going too far will feel hypocritical and frivolous.
