Synopsis

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; and, 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.
