The summative assessment is a single submission comprising two components:

1. a written analysis of supervision practice (ILO1 and ILO2); and

2. a short reflective report (ILO2).

This course aims to provide you with an opportunity to evaluate and reflect on supervision practices and develop an evidence-based understanding of approaches to supervision of students. The course will cover supervision at undergraduate, postgraduate taught, PhD, and professional doctoral levels. You will have the opportunity to compare practice against both institutional requirements and recent literature on effective supervision. 

By the end of this course you should be able to:

1. Analyse approaches to supervision relevant to your context; and

2. Critically evaluate research and scholarship focused on supervision and relate this to proposed enhancements in your practice.

Students must submit at least 75% by weight of the components (including examinations) of the course's summative assessment.
