I took the Postgraduate Certificate in Research Supervision and Mentoring at Stanmore School of Business to improve my skills as a research supervisor, and I'm happy to say that the course delivered on its promises. The content was detailed and comprehensive, covering everything from the fundamentals of research supervision to more advanced topics like 'Supervising Diverse Student Populations.' I found the course materials to be well-organized and easy to follow, and the instructors were always available to answer questions and provide feedback. One area for improvement might be the addition of more interactive elements, such as live sessions or online discussions, to enhance the learning experience. Overall, however, I'm satisfied with the course and feel that it's helped me to become a more effective and supportive research supervisor.
