Capstone assignment title: Supervisor-Student Relationship as a Determinant of the Quality of PhD Thesis in the University of Buea, Cameroon
Capstone assignment abstract: This study investigates the relationship between a supervisor and student and its effects on the quality of doctoral thesis. Three research objectives guided the study that examines the effects of policy regarding choice of supervision, supervisor-students contact hours and feedback on the quality of a PhD thesis. An exploratory survey research design was adopted for the study. Open-ended questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample of 32 doctoral students and 24 for the study. Results revealed that the procedure for allocating students to supervisors, students-supervisor contact hours and quality of feedback as constructs of supervisor-student relationship affect the production of quality of PhD thesis. Effective supervisory process will reduce attrition rate, provide students with in-depth knowledge in a particular field of study and research, and lay a solid foundation for continuity as graduates are future supervisors.
