what do you want from your research supervision?

The APA Monitor has a nice two-page piece on what advisors (supervisors) and advisees (supervisees) want from each other. It's in the context of academic supervision in the US, but should also apply here in Australia.

The article has a link to a nifty quiz (The Advisory Working Alliance Inventory) in which advisors and advisees can evaluate their working relationship (with built-in scoring and feedback)

Wishing you rich and rewarding relationship with all of your supervisors
