Before finally submitting the thesis the supervisor should see your complete final draft. Your supervisors will advise you about where to try and place articles, as well as on timing and feasibility. If you intend to aim for an academic career, you should bear in mind that applicants for jobs are nowadays expected to have publications that have been, if not yet published, at least accepted. Research students at the CMS have two supervisors. It is obviously important for both supervisors to co-operate closely with each other, and with the student, to make sure that the student is getting sufficient advice and that the advice is not contradictory.
Many supervisors always meet students together.
Each supervisor ought to ensure that regular and frequent meetings are held, if not with him or her, then with the other supervisor. Your supervisors must agree with each other which of them will be the administrative supervisor, to act on your behalf with the CMS Higher Degrees Officer, the University Graduate Schools Office or, finally, with the external examiner. You should not feel inhibited about making a complaint against your supervisor if you feel you have just cause. You can be sure that it will be handled with tact and discretion. You will be asked at your TAP meetings to make a confidential oral statement about your supervision, without your supervisors being present.
