So many things were going through my head at that moment, and in one single heartbeat I was overwhelmed with a flashback of my entire life. Young nineteen and twenty year old kids were crying like children, but fighting like someone had raped their sisters. I watched a young, courageous black medic take an 81-millimeter round to his head, and his whole body instantly turned to smoke.
Some of the events I witnessed during that moment were beyond comprehension. Medics were running left and right, risking their lives to help others with bravery that even the most amazing soldier couldnt hope to match. I saw my entire company falling like dominoes. But as I looked back, I realized that my safety net was no longer safe. As I quickly mowed them down with my automatic rifle, I crawled backwards away from the enemy gunfire, using my helmet to push sand in front of me as I went, which made it possible to look behind me. Two of the enemy soldiers, which we often referred to as gooks, quickly came after me. Written by a distinguished international team of authors, The Making of Doctoral Supervisors will be of interest to all those engaged in doctoral education including policy makers, program leaders, supervisors, administrators, and scholars in the field.Beneath the Bamboo: A Vietnam War Story - Excerpt: I watched two point men take a 50-caliber machine gun bullet to the head, and watched the third being grabbed and taken behind enemy lines. Each case study constitutes a stand-alone contribution to the literature on doctoral supervision in that country and: provides a brief introduction to the national context of doctoral education outlines policies and procedures for the selection of supervisors discusses the support and development available to supervisors and gives examples of good practice comments on if and how supervision is recognised and rewarded. This book looks at these matters in 21 major doctoral awarding countries, collectively responsible for over 90% of global doctoral awards.
However, relatively little is known about the ways in which doctoral supervisors are selected for their roles, supported to perform them, and recognised for their efforts. The quality of supervision has been shown to be a major factor in determining the learning experiences of doctoral scholars and their chances of success. It compares and contrasts their approaches, comments upon their robustness, and identifies examples of good practice. With a wide range of international contributors, this book surveys how the main doctoral awarding countries across the globe define criteria for the eligibility of supervisors.
