Capstone assignment abstract: My exposure to masters and doctoral supervision began in 2004 during my master’s studies at the University of Pretoria. The supervision experiences alternated between being left alone to figure out things on my own and being part of an active cohort. The different approaches followed, and roles fulfilled by various supervisors over the years all contribute, in one way or another, to my fulfillment of supervision duties in 2020. This assignment will therefore engage the content offered by the doctoral supervision course while reflecting on my own experiences as a ‘supervised’ student. The journey metaphor as a reference to supervision used by turner resonates with my journey from supervised to supervisor. In my case, plotting the highs and lows of supervision begins with being ‘supervised’ and transforms into a supervisory role. Therefore, the explicit (foregrounding) aim of the study is to propose and implement a project management approach to supervision and adopt the role of project manager, while implicitly (backgrounding) reflecting and re-evaluating my own supervised experiences.
