ini ada sedikit cerita dari teman2 sesama postgraduate student
sudah diketahui bersama bahwa
dalam melakukan riset kita dibimbing oleh supervisor
karakter supervisor2 ini yang kebanyakan professor (ada juga doktor) ber-macam2.
-- friendly and tough
supervisor macam ini sangat ramah, dan kerap menanyakan kabar keluarga di sela2 meeting, dan banyak menawarkan bantuan termasuk tawaran kerja menjadi tutor di s-1 atau demonstrator di lab. Termasuk traktir makan siang walaupun cuma di awal2 aja.
mereka agak ketat kalo sudah memasuki diskusi hasil riset atau methodology. Mereka juga agak detail dalam berbagai macam, misalnya kasi komen mengenai presentasi, proposal, visual di slide, report. baiknya mereka memberi semangat dan nasehat menjadi orang yang sangat teliti. Mungkin agar hasil risetnya well done!!!, excellent!!!
Kalo merubah jadwal asistensi, mereka pasti email duluan, dan nanyain alternativenya. Hanya saja, kalo datang waktu libur, mereka ga kasi pengumuman, udah ilang duluan ampe sebulan ga ada kabar. Waktu begitu mahal, cuma mereka kasi kelonggaran kalo mau tambahan meeting, email dululah...katanya.
Asistensi selalu dan selalu di kampus (ga mungkin di rumah lah..wong alamat rumahnya ga diberikan ...privasi), di ruangan mereka, yang bejibun buku2 dan paper, lengkap dengan whiteboard. Biasanya ada biskuit, dan mereka nawarin ngopi sambil diskusi.... Kalo mau pinjam buku, bilang aja, pasti dikasi..
--- Super busy
supervisor macam begini kalo beliau ini merangkap macam seperti pembantu dekan, ketua associasi profesi, praktek di lab, lecturer, konsultan, reviewer jurnal. Biasanya, schedule meeting mingguan, atau dua mingguan. Kalo mau asistensi, lihat dulu situasi, apa mereka santai atau sibuk. Kalo sibuk, hendaknya diskusi harus efektif..jangan panjang2. To the point.. Meeting biasanya sering berubah jadwal, paling diemail duluan bahwa "no meeting today". tapi selalu ada alternative. Supervisor macam begini sibuk juga dengan seminar, jurnal dan proyek2. Akan tetapi meeting, selalu diusahakan untuk ngukur progress...
Enaknya, mereka karena namanya sudah ada di jurnal2 internasional dan buku2, maka jaringannya pasti kuat. Mereka kerap nawarin copnference atau jurnal di berbagai tempat untuk diikuti... (Ph.D wajib buat minimal 3 paper, master 2 paper).
---- ngecek ke process segala
ada juga, supervisor seperti ini sangat care ampe datang ke office ngecek atau ngeliat hasil. Seperti teman dari Cina, kebetulan supervisornya orang cina, maka beliau sering ke office ngeliat process. Dan berbicara pake bahasa mandarin pula. Mungkin karena orang Asia ya... selalu ngecek ampe liat kehadiran segala.. tapi positifnya, progressnya cepat dan mungkin dia bisa upgrade ke Ph.D.
--- kesetaraan dan kebersamaan
banyak supervisor yang sibuk, tapi acara ngumpul2 ngopi/ngeteh bareng di Jum'at pagi tetap hadir (meski ga 100% hadir semua) bareng ama riset postgrad students. Ngobrol macam2 topik. Pernah, sewaktu melbourne cup, kita2 ikut hadir untuk nonton bareng sambil makan, dan mereka bertaruh ngeliatin kuda2 mana yang menang... taruhannya $5, dan $2 (ini judi ya...). Di sini semuanya pada ngumpul, remasuk staf IT, teknisi lab, admin.
that;s all. Mungkin ada sedikit subyektif. Anyway, karakter supervisor di sini ada positif dan ada juga negatif. Ambil yang positif aja.
Gimana dengan realita asistensi di kampus kita...?
saya pribadi masih merasa "ga enak" dengan asistensi dulu macam waktu S-1.
Seperti Opspek aja. he..he...he...
