Being a Supervisor

捆绑SM社区

Roles and responsibilities

As a supervisor, you should learn about your responsibilities and how they change over the years, but most importantly you should learn why and how well-defined expectations help prevent problems and ensure success. Monitoring your student's progress is a process that encourages both of you to define and discuss expectations, thereby improving communication and the supervisory relationship.

You and each of your supervisees are in a professional, often near-peer relationship. The characteristics of this relationship affect your job satisfaction and the educational experiences of your supervisees. Its qualities, styles, and interactions can be diverse, but evidence and experience support some practices more than others.
