Abstract

Dissertation is an independent piece of work which is a key component of many undergraduate taught programmes. To deliver a personalized learning experience and enhance student satisfaction, effective supervisor-supervisee allocation is crucial. This paper employed a case study approach to pilot three allocation methods over three years in an attempt to improve student dissertation experience through supervisor-supervisee allocation. Online survey data were collected and analysed. The findings revealed that a scaffolded matching approach that allows interaction and expression of interests could significantly enhance student engagement and satisfaction with the undergraduate dissertation supervision.
