<DIV><SPAN class=887025309-23052005><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>How often
should I be in contact with my student (and should I wait to contact him or
should I say things like "I'll expect a report from you every 2 weeks" and
if I don't hear from him I should contact him myself? Is there a timetable
of expectations of things he should have achieved by the first year? At the
moment, he's reading round and thinking about possible topics, but I'm
getting slightly concerned that things aren't moving as fast as they should
be and the lack of face-to-face contact makes it difficult to gauge what's
going on. However, I'm aware that this works differently to a typical PhD so
it may be fine!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
