- 7. Role of the Supervisor 7 ▪ Initial Guidance and topic Selection ▪ Project Planning and Structuring – Assisting in defining clear objectives and scope – Guiding students in preparing a work plan with milestones and deliverables. – Helping them identify resources such as hardware, software, lab access, or industry collaborations. ▪ Technical and Methodological Support – Advising on the appropriate methodologies, tools, and software for implementation. – Ensuring students maintain technical accuracy in their design, analysis, and results. ▪ Regular Monitoring and Feedback – Holding weekly or biweekly meetings to review progress and address challenges. – Providing constructive feedback on reports, and presentations.
- 8. 8 Important • Schedule weekly or biweekly meetings with your supervisor(s). • It is best to use a fixed time slot each week for consistency. • Students are responsible for initiating and attending meetings. • Do not wait for your supervisor to call you—take the initiative.
- 9. Time Management 9 Plan and Prioritize Tasks ▪ Break down your project into smaller, manageable tasks with clear deadlines. ▪ Identify critical tasks that require more time and effort. ▪ Use a Gantt chart or to-do list to track progress. Set a RealisticTimeline ▪ Allocate sufficient time for research, design, implementation, testing, and documentation. ▪ Plan for unexpected delays and set buffer periods. ▪ Follow a weekly schedule to stay on track.
- 10. Time Management 10 Stay Organized ▪ Maintain clear documentation of your work, including notes, references, and code. ▪ Use tools like Google Drive, OneNote, or project management apps to store files and track progress. Avoid Last-Minute Rush ▪ Start writing your report early instead of waiting until the end. ▪ Begin testing and debugging well in advance to avoid last-minute surprises. ▪ Complete presentations and rehearsals at least a few days before deadlines.
- 11. Time Management 11 Balance Workload Efficiently ▪ Define Roles and Responsibilities Clearly:Assign a group leader ▪ Ensure equal distribution of tasks so no one is overloaded. ▪ Work Collaboratively, Not in Isolation ▪ Report writing:A one member should not be assigned to write the report. All should contribute.
- 12. Following Guidelines & Meeting Deadlines 12 Follow the Given Guidelines ▪ All relevant guidelines will be available on the LMS. ▪ Students must strictly adhere to these guidelines. Meeting Deadlines is Critical ▪ Deadlines are final and will not be extended. ▪ Late submissions will receive no marks—plan accordingly!
- 13. Logbook 13 ▪ Every student must maintain an individual logbook. ▪ The logbook must be presented at each meeting with the supervisor. ▪ Ensure it is signed by the supervisor after every meeting.
