Reviews

In my view every supervisor, whether new to the role or highly experienced, could benefit from reading this timely, intelligent and empathetic guide to ensuring that postgraduate students have positive and productive learning opportunities. Its scope is broad, covering all aspects of the role, and its tone is encouraging and supportive, drawing on extensive personal experience and on excellent National Teaching Fellowship funded research. It's a superb contribution to the theory and practice of research supervision.' Sally Brown, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Academic) and Professor of Higher Education Diversity in Teaching and Learning, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK
This readable account reinforces the value of experiential approaches to doctoral work. Well worth reading for researchers, students and supervisors at any stage of their explorations of "Planet PhD"'. John Hilsdon, Head of Learning Development, University of Plymouth, UK
