Capstone assignment title:
Exploring Student-supervisor relationships at the University of Namibia
Capstone assignment abstract:

Scholars concur that the supervisory relationship is fundamental to doctoral students’ success. The gradual development of the supervisory relationship occurs through encounters during which supervisors and supervisees evaluate each other in terms of ideologies, values, and behaviours as well as tones and manners of communication. In positive cases, the quality of the supervisory relationship contributes to the candidates’ overall wellbeing, satisfaction, and progress regarding research. In less fortunate cases, a tense supervisory relationship can lead to distress and dropouts. This chapter explores the impacts of supervisory relationships on the successful completion of a doctoral studies. It adds a critical view of issues affecting progress of doctoral supervision.
