I recently completed the 'Supervising Postgraduate Research' course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say that it was a thoroughly enjoyable and enriching experience. As a lecturer at a university in Ghana, I was keen to develop my skills in supervising postgraduate research projects. The course provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the supervision process, from initial meetings with students to finalizing their research projects. I appreciated the detailed examples and scenarios presented in the course materials, which helped to illustrate key concepts and principles. The instructor was also very supportive and responsive to questions and comments. One area for improvement could be the addition of more case studies from African contexts, but overall, I'm pleased with the course and would recommend it to colleagues.
