"Now that supervisor training is compulsory, this practical, no-nonsense handbook is essential reading for both the novice and the experienced higher degree supervisor. For novices there is a developmental sequence of advice, guiding them through all stages of supervision from the first meeting to the viva and beyond. For experienced supervisors there are fresh ideas on how to improve practice and solve problems." "Grounded in research, this book will be invaluable to academics in all disciplines. At a time when there is increasing pressure to ensure 'quality' provision, and to improve the doctoral completion rate, the need for a practical guide is obvious. An essential item for every academic's bookshelf."--Jacket.
