Most students choose supervisors based on rankings, publications, or university prestige.

Few stop to ask whether a supervisor’s working style actually matches their own.

This assessment won’t tell you who the best supervisor is.

It will help you discover who is the best supervisor for you.

Before You Begin

Please keep the following in mind before you jump into the assessment rubric

✔ There are no right answers.

✔ Be honest.

✔ Think about what you genuinely need, not what sounds impressive.

✔ Separate what you know, what you assume, what you observe, and how important it is.
