Sustainable Supervision: Graduate Research Engagement Assessment Tool (GREAT) to identify risk, assess needs and resolve conflict

Successful completion of a post-graduate research degree is dependent on internal and external factors and it is common for students to experience some challenges during their candidature. Challenges can range from personal issues (e.g., mental health or family problems), to academic challenges (e.g., writer’s block, difficulty collecting data, personality clashes with supervisors). If (or when) problems occur, early intervention is critical to the success of a research project. The aim here is to provide an overview of the Graduate Research Engagement Assessment Tool (GREAT). The purpose of the GREAT is to help HDR students and supervisors identify, assess, and problem-solve potential risks, and effectively manage roadblocks associated with student-supervisor conflict. The GREAT includes a self-assessment section to build self-awareness and problem-solve risk, questionnaire and scoring criteria to identify and quantify risk, an opportunity to request support, and step by step guide to effectively and manage conflict.
