Remember: you can not change another person. But, you can sometimes influence them and motivate them to change. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that everyone should be like you. Diversity makes a great team. Value differences. Slide 17: Qualities of a good supervisor:
10. LEAD BY EXAMPLE Principles and Practices of good supervision : Principles and Practices of good supervision The principles of good supervision and supervisory practices are binding on both the supervisors and postgraduate students.
At least one supervisor is appointed to each student preparing his/her dissertation.
The postgraduate student can influence the selection of supervisors. Slide 19: Supervisory relations can be revised and changed as the research proceeds.
If the postgraduate student has more than one supervisor, it is a good idea to appoint one of them as the main supervisor, who takes responsibility for overall supervision and postgraduate studies.
Supervision must adjust to the postgraduate's research. Slide 20: Good supervision requires that the supervisors know and communicate with one another.
Good supervision practices also include the continuity and regularity of supervision.
Both the supervisor and the student shall comply with the rules of research ethics. A Framework for Analyzing School Functioning : A Framework for Analyzing School Functioning Administration Relation with the
