Leadership and the Art of Influence

Date: 11 March 2020
Time: 2:00pm - 4:00pm
Credits: 2 credits, Domain D

It’s often said that influence is essential to leadership – but what is influence? In this session Gary Edwards will demonstrate what influence is, how it works, why we are influenced, and how we can use that for our own benefit – whether we are in a formal leadership role or just trying to “lead” someone to where we’d like them to go. Register here.

Online Training

Research Skills Courses Online

The Statistical Methods for Research and Research Methods courses are now available for University of Adelaide HDR students to complete via MyUni. For further information about these courses and instructions to access them, please navigate to the relevant CaRST Online course pages:

AGC138 – Statistical Methods for Research
Eligible for 12 credits in Domain A

AGC139 – Research Methods (disciplines)
Eligible for 3 credits in Domain A

AGC140 – Research Methods in Literature Review
Eligible for 3 credits in Domain A

A certificate will be provided following successful completion of these courses, which should be used as evidence to claim CaRST credit.

Do you regularly attend Research Seminars and claim these for CaRST credit in Domain A? Did you know that you can group and record multiple seminars in one form, rather than as individual entries?

When recording your attendance at sessions as an Experiential Activity, ‘Research Seminar – Attendance’, you can enter multiple session dates and times by using the +/- buttons in the activity form. Up to 10 individual seminars can be recorded in a single form, helping to minimise the number of individual entries in your CaRST Record.

Credits will be calculated based on the total duration of time that you enter. Please provide a signed attendance log as evidence of participation.
