Jabre and colleagues define supervisory fit through concrete dimensions: how much supervision you want, career guidance, respect for nonacademic goals, working style, and the kinds of students who do well in that group (Jabre et al., 2021, p. 2). That is guidance rather than a controlled study, so treat it as a checklist and not as a measurement. Name the specific pattern you are living with, such as missed feedback, unclear expectations, or dismissal of your career plans, then compare it against the dimensions on the list (Jabre et al., 2021, p. 4).",[11,18,19],{},"The absent supervisor does not reply and cancels meetings. The response is structure and persistence: fixed recurring slots, short written updates whether or not they reply, and a second reader for feedback.

Gu and Bourne recommend using committee members as secondary mentors for research guidance, professional development, and disagreements with the primary mentor, and they advise keeping those members informed of your progress rather than contacting them only when something breaks (Gu and Bourne, 2007, p. 2046). They also note that committee practice varies, because some institutions form the committee early and others only near the end, so check which applies to you. If you have no committee, Gaillard and colleagues argue that informal contacts count, and they add a qualification the other sources leave out: being open about difficulty is not equally safe for everyone, and researchers often fear a supervisor's disapproval, including over plans for careers outside academia (Gaillard et al., 2022, p. 1).",[36,37,39],"h2",{"id":38},"how-do-i-run-a-supervision-meeting-that-goes-somewhere","How do I run a supervision meeting that goes somewhere?",[11,41,42],{},"Send an agenda two days ahead with specific questions and any material to read.

Gu and Bourne say it more bluntly, that graduate school is demanding mentally and physically, that health comes first, and that a good mentor recognizes the student comes first as well (Gu and Bourne, 2007, p. 2045).
