Dr Yvonne Couch - Supervising PhD Students

Dr Yvonne Couch - Supervising PhD Students

Dr Yvonne Couch, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

In her blog, Yvonne explores the dynamics of supervising PhD students, comparing different supervision styles to parenting methods. She describes a spectrum ranging from 'Drone' supervision, where advisors micromanage every detail, to 'Free-range' supervision, which allows students considerable independence. Yvonne advocates for a balanced approach, warning against the extremes of over-involvement or neglect. She emphasises the importance of adapting supervision style to the individual needs of students to foster resilience, adaptability, and genuine learning, ultimately aiming for what she terms 'Lighthouse' supervision—guiding without over-directing.
