Project management is important to both the supervisor and the student for successful completion of the task ahead. University other programs can interfere with the set deadlines but with a strict program much can be accomplished.
in reply to: Module 4, Session 4: dive deeper #5832Mckena et al. has shown that all solutions of a research problem cannot be obtained from one book or one chapter. This means that a lot of reading has to be done for comprehensive work to be compiled. The researcher might not have enough of time and resources to accomplish this therefore a sub-standard work.
in reply to: Module 4, Session 4: Food for thought #5831PhD program is really exhaustive. This is because most students are already parents and have to play the roles of parents and students at the same time. Financial stress and other factors set in and this can affect the program.

in reply to: Module 4, Session 3: Coaching and Mentoring #5830Couching and mentoring can be used interchangeably in supervision role. A supervisor as a couch does most of the work and expects the student to do the same whereas in mentorship the supervisor is just a guide and a student is let to do most of the research work. Both are important in supervision.
