<h2>RS Training Forum (12/03/12)</h2>
<p>Thoughts and issues raised at the RS training forum are below.</p>
<h4>Training courses</h4>
<ul>
<li>RDT courses are sometimes not tailored towards our discipline, and hence are not as useful as they could be.</li>
<li>Lack of useful training for experimental method, statistics and referencing; and for specific tools (e.g. MS Word, LaTeX, Eclipse, EndNote/CiteULike/Mendely, SPSS/R).</li>
<li>Induction activities do not necessarily suit all RSes, possibly because RSes come from different backgrounds (both academic and cultural).</li>
</ul>
<h4>Reliance on tacit information</h4>
<ul>
<li>Key information for RSes is scattered across the departmental and university websites and other resources (e.g. handbook).</li>
<li>It's not always clear who (in the department or university) to ask in order to solve a problem.</li>
<li> Lack of structure in introductory processes, and particularly for non-October starters.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Community</h4>
<ul>
<li>Lack of peer-to-peer sharing of knowledge between RSes.</li>
<li>Lack of "group unity" (community feeling?).</li>
<li>Not all RSes have opportunities to give many presentations (other than literature review seminar and thesis seminar).</li>
