The
graduate student needs to begin assuming some of the responsibility for
his professional training. For example, he should consider having the faculty
member review his experimental protocols before he does the actual laboratory
work, or checking with her before unilaterally discarding portions of the
data he collected. If his department does not offer a course in research
design, he should ask his mentor if there is one on campus that might be
appropriate. The graduate student also needs to apprise his mentor, well
in advance, of times he plans to be away from the laboratory. As a developing
professional, he needs ensure that his personal activities do not compromise
the professional activities of others. |
