How to be an Effective Supervisor

The issues around effective management and supervision of research students have received widespread attention in academia, in response to the new regulatory framework established by the Quality Assurance Agency prompted by Government Funding Agencies and the Research Councils. The authors propose to develop a book loosely based around the 27 precepts of the Quality Assurance Agency's recent Code of Practice for the management of Postgraduate Research Programmes. The aim of the book will be to present key information on the QAA Code of Practice in a practical style reflecting best practice in the sector, to serve both as a ready reference source for supervisors and as a manual for research supervisor training. This book will appeal to all postgraduate research supervisors including those involved in supervising Professional Doctorates and Masters degrees, plus Graduate Deans and Associate Deans, together with programme managers and postgraduate administrative staff. It should be recommended reading for all new supervisors and act as a refresher for established supervisors.Eley is the author of 'How to be an Effective Supervisor', published 2009 under ISBN 9780335222957 and ISBN 0335222951.
