Supervising undergraduates
Many research students at the Computer Laboratory supervise undergraduate students for their courses or final-year projects. Supervising is an excellent opportunity to gain some teaching experience. It also earns a bit of money.
If you are interested in supervising courses, read
Then talk to one of the Directors of Studies (for Part Ia/Ib courses) or student administration (for Part II courses).
Would you like to propose and supervise a topic for a Part II project? Then read the Pink Book, write up your project proposal as a web page and send its URL to Mike Gordon for inclusion into his next suggestions list.
