Vlog 290 - How to complete a PhD without a supervisor

You may have poor supervision. You may have absent supervision. Your supervisor may have retired or being 'restructured' out of your institution. What now? This vlog explores how to complete that higher degree - without a supervisor.

This video warms the hearts of those unsupervised lot. I cannot thank you more for the advise and inspiration. Thanks again

I love to hear the story of struggling and the moment that you overcome it with decisions and solutions.

This was such a compelling Vlog! Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I have a great supervisor but am fully aware of her workload. I also supervised myself for my Masters even with an awesome supervisor, then. He only saw my thesis when it was done and it got an A+ without corrections. Going into this PhD I was almost inclined to go the route of reliance but I caught this video just in time to remind me of my capabilities. Thank you!

Thank you for this one. From past blogs I benefited from your suggestions and this one was the icing on the cake. I am grateful I did my data stream research before COVID and it made me have more control on my focus and I realize when others suggest going off on a tangent. I quickly remind them of my interdisciplinary lens.

Prof Tara, i discovered your vlogs in 2019, I followed all through the lockdown. You have provided practical answers in "natural" ways always. The most natural one was about getting unstuck! This took me through the most lonely part of the PhD part during the long lockdown!
