Supervision is now conducted at two levels: (1) weekly, personal meetings and (2) monthly, group meeting. In the group meeting, everyone is expected to attend and it opens up opportunities for everyone to re-cap their milestones as well as a chance to socialize with the group mates.
Last 16 March 2018, the second group meeting of the semester was had where Master student Ong Beng Liang presented his work. The presentation was two fold, to act as a pre-viva practice session for Ong who had just submitted his thesis in February, and also as an introduction to his work for the newer students who joined my supervision. In general, Ong needs to improve on his presentation skills and amendment is advised for slides (the content seemed too light and general to pass off as a viva slide. Fortunately, he has no viva date set yet, so he has time to fix it.
After a light presentation and some Q&A, the group meeting ended with some potluck food. Next meeting is scheduled for mid April 2018, where Teo is due to present his slides.
