TAA Teleconferences

TAA's 2008 Teleconferencing Series

Teleconference Testimonials

"The dissertation is a process and a learning experience, and when you are in the middle of writing a dissertation, some good advice, direction and a bit of a push are required.

In "A Coach's Perspective on Finishing a Dissertation," Dave Harris offers a valuable perspective that doctoral students working on their dissertation need to hear. He provides important insights to help students get the most out of this learning experience and his insights ring true. He clearly breaks down the dissertation process into its component parts and provides practical advice for every student working on a dissertation. What most resonated for me were his comments to stop researching and start writing, and his statement that there are many voices and opinions out there, so in putting your ideas on paper, there will be others who disagree. And that is okay.

I think doctoral students at any stage of their dissertation process will benefit from Dave Harris' teleconference."

— Suzanne Cook, M.Sc. and Ph.D. Candidate Adult Education and Community Development Collaborative on Aging and the Life Course Ontario Institute for Studies in Education


"TAA teleconferences give much value to being a TAA member.

Thank you TAA for hosting the Royalty Q&A teleconference. I learned some useful information about royalty issues, especially how authors should negotiate clauses in contracts that permit the authors to review the books to ensure royalty statements are accurate. I look forward to future TAA teleconferences."

— Ricardo D. Fierro, Ph.D., Department of Mathematics, California State University San Marcos

TAA members are eligible to participate in one or more TAA Teleconferences.

What is a TAA Teleconference?
Each teleconference will be held as a conference call. Participants will be given a number to call at a specific time, and a code to enter the discussion. Multiple participants at one site could participate in a teleconference via speaker phone. In a presenter-led teleconference, a presenter will share information about the topic for 30 minutes, followed by a 30-minute Q&A/discussion. Some teleconferences will be held as 60-minute "open discussions" on a particular topic, led by a moderator.

Participants will receive an e-mail one week before the teleconference containing the call-in number and code, as well as a link to the TAA website for downloading any supporting materials that will be used during the teleconference.

Each TAA Teleconference will be limited to 30 participants so sign up early to get a spot!
