Supervision issues - Ep. 18

In today's episode, we discuss supervision issues - issues we have observed around us and issues we have experienced ourselves. We look at the different types of supervisions issues that are common, what you can do when you encounter an issue in the working relationship with your supervisor, and what you can do at the start of your working relationship with your supervisor to prevent issues in the future (within what is reasonable). We also look at the perspective of the supervisor, and the role of universities in providing their supervisors with training and support.
