Supervision

Smyth, R. & Maxwell, T.W. (2010). Research supervision: The research management matrix. High Educ 2010 59:407-422.

 - Send your manuscript as asked. Your supervisor is not a superwoman/man but s/he needs time to become familiar with your writing. It is essential to read the text in advance so that you can get proper guidance.

- Make the requested corrections or provide a scientific justification if you do not change anything.
- Write notes while you get advice. Don't ask the same questions again: that will lower your rating.

- Use a learning diary: write up compelx issues and try to solve them yourself.
