Working with your supervisor

Thesis and Dissertation Development

Send short, specific questions and drafts in advance. After each meeting, record decisions and actions and share them — this avoids misunderstandings months later.

Treat feedback as data: log each comment, your response and the resulting change.

Example

“Decision: drop RQ3. Action: revise chapter 3 sampling by 12 May.”

Exercise

Add your last supervisor feedback to the project and turn it into tasks.
