Capstone assignment title:
The difficulties faced by part-time doctoral students from non-academic working backgrounds, and as the implications for supervision
Capstone assignment abstract:
In this essay, I discuss the unique circumstances of PhD students at my university who are enrolled part-time and work full-time in non-academic settings. I pay close attention to their character as well as their situation, and the subsequent implications for the thesis supervision process. My interest in this topic was piqued by assertions in the existing literature implying that only a few studies had looked into the differences in attrition rate and time-to-completion between full-time and part-time doctoral candidates. I sought to contribute to this discourse by using McClusky's (1970) Theory of Margin to guide the discussion.
