Full Description
What kind of problems are encountered while undertaking postgraduate study?
How are these problems best avoided or resolved?
How can the student/supervisor relationship be improved?
This practical guide is based on a series of successful workshops on postgraduate supervision and presents the most frequently encountered difficulties in the student/supervisor relationship. Detailed but concise case studies offer realistic solutions to the thirty issues discussed, including:
Conflict
Culture
Distance
Funding
Isolation
Language
Management
Plagiarism
Priority
Time
Transfer
Write-up
Each case study raises important questions to generate discussion, and suggests solutions and preventative measures. The book also includes a section that shows how the case studies can be used in a teaching workshop setting. Effective Postgraduate Supervision is essential reading for supervisors of postgraduate degrees including those at masters and doctoral level as well as prospective and current postgraduate research students.
