Nine preconditions for my dissertation project supervision: 1. Attend my dissertation workshop and study the readings and workshop e-resources that I provide. 2. Be prepared to do revision of the workshop study materials that I provide. 3. Be prepared to be committed and engage in the dissertation project. This also implies that the student needs to have adequate intellectual curiosity and the personal resources to pursue intellectual learning as embedded in their life routine. 4.

Spend sufficient time to produce drafts on concerns and theoretical framework diagrams before working on the project synopsis and proposal form. 6. Show respect to this dissertation supervisor. 7. Be willing to discuss with this supervisor on dissertation study issues. 8. Be prepared to engage in self-directed and deep-level learning
