The aim of this unit is to build research supervision capacity. The unit explores the spread of research graduate paradigms, including the spatial set up of candidates and their interaction with supervisors and access to resources. Students choose to study paradigms of greatest pertinence to their discipline; however, all enhance their awareness of practices across a breadth of disciplines. The unit investigates the theory of how research is supervised. Equipping students with a knowledge of methodologies, the unit prepares supervisors with the capacity to act and advise prudently toward the candidate's research potential and development among communities that support scholarship. -- Course Website
