Friendly peer review

“Your supervisor is not your boss, not your examiner, but your peer. My approach to this: I am not going to write the thesis for you. My job is to tell you if you are building momentum in the right direction that will lead to a successful piece of research. To guide you where you can find the areas that can help you write your thesis. My role is not to have all the answers for you. The role is that of a more experienced peer who provides guidance to ensure that the piece of research is coherent, meaningful, and well-founded. It’s a form of friendly peer review.”
