February 6, 2018 — February 7, 2018
Time: 8:45 AM — 5:00 PM
| Location: | Tabaret 119, University of Ottawa, 75 Laurier Ave E, K1N 6N5 Ottawa, Canada |
| Audience: | Current Students |
Please note: this workshop will take place at the University of Ottawa. Carleton graduate students are welcome to register, but if you are a TA and would like this workshop to count toward your paid pedagogical training hours, it is your responsibility to make sure that your attendance is recorded by the instructor and to email david.lafferty@carleton.ca after the workshop to let us know that you attended.
This 2-day workshop provides an experiential, collaborative learning experience to enable participants to integrate the principles of project management, team building, group dynamics and leadership that participants can apply immediately and in their future careers and lives. Participants experience the processes of collaborative planning and management and can see the benefits firsthand.
Learning teams of approximately five people each will be formed at the beginning of this session and will work together throughout the session. This will enable the participants to enhance their learning from each other, to experience the development of a strong team, and to develop a model of the culture that they will want to create and execute their projects.
Cost: This workshop, as with all Mitacs workshops, is free for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. However, the preauthorization of a valid credit card is required as part of the registration process. A $50 penalty will be applied to all late cancellations (cancellations that are not made 5 days or more before the workshop date), no shows, or incomplete attendance. These penalties are only charged after the completion of a workshop and no charges are ever made to those who participate in full.
