Minor Thesis Guide for Honours and Postgraduate Diploma

Supervision

You will have been assigned a supervisor on the basis of the thesis proposal already submitted and available resources. The supervisor will help you firm up the topic; discuss methods of research, interpretation, and writing; answer any technical questions on presentation; and review drafts.

Supervisor Meeting Schedule

It is expected you will meet with your supervisor every fortnight during semester, beginning in the first week.  Meetings will normally be half an hour in length. You should ensure that after each meeting that you make a time for the next meeting. The onus is on you to meet regularly with your supervisor.

Normally supervisors will not be available during the long winter and summer breaks. The winter break (or the summer break for mid-year entry) is the period when the bulk of the thesis is written.
