Capstone assignment title: STUDENT-SUPERVISOR RELATIONSHIP A KEY TO ELIMINATE AFRICAN DOCTORAL STUDENT DILEMMA
Capstone assignment abstract: This capstone assignment discusses the importance of the student-supervisor relationship that improves doctoral students’ studies at my university1. This capstone assignment will further address supervision as a component in the success of a doctoral student. The main purpose of this capstone assignment is to provide information to African Universities regarding the importance of the student-supervisor relationship that is necessary for the students (PhDs) to successfully complete their doctoral projects within 2-3 years. Supervision is, therefore, defined as a face-to-face positive relationship between the student and the supervisor with a clear purpose of enhancing the student's research completion within a particular timeframe of the studies. In this capstone assignment, the following are discussed: the student-supervisor relationship, why it is important, what is currently happening in my university, and what I will do differently. The conclusion is therefore drawn from what the capstone assignment have discussed with much emphasis on the student-supervisor relationship aiming at minimizing student dilemma during their doctoral journey.
