Mentorship, attention, support, and patience are among the qualities of a good supervisor.
Dear @Nadeesha Sewwandi Abegunasekara
To my opinion, a supervisor is one who inspires and motivates his research students. Above all, he shows the way, and make them scientifically and technically competent to achieve their ultimate goal.
Regards!
For research supervisees, the expectations they may have of their respective supervisors can often be guided by good or bad experiences with prior supervisors, but they will typically include such variables as commitment, accessibility, regularity of communication, and supportiveness.
Supervisors should be active, they should guide and direct students towards effective and proficient academic writing. They should give students guidelines about research methodology and chapters' division and structure.they should encourage students' autonomy and self-reliance especially in the practical part...the fulfillment of a good dissertation is based on mutual discussion and collaboration between the supervisor and his/her supervisees.
The research supervisor must have a vision and the ability to withstand the difficulties that may face the student who supervises him, and he must choose the research problem from among the things that serve the community in order for the research to have scientific and economic value.

Dear Researcher,
Thank you for this wonderful topic of discussion.
It would have been great if those who were supervised by me would have provided their opinion about me as a supervisor. They were all MBA students of PTU. I had worked as a supervisor for them from 2010-12. About 30 students completed their research under my supervision and got their degrees. I felt that I never doubted their abilities and always gave them the highest degree of independence. So they were all motivated during their research.
As a student, I was very lucky to have some great supervisors who always encouraged me. Even when I used to doubt myself, my supervisors would never do that, not even for one second in my life. That is why, even after so many years of completion of those researches, I remember them and I am thankful to them for their presence in my life.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Anamitra Roy.
A good quality supervisor should have enough capability both in academic as well as to design and implementation a good research work. Without this quality, you can not supervise properly your students.
Along with this, you have the capability to understand your students, you have to build up a friendly relationship as well as to guide him just like a parents.
For the completion of the MS and PhD needs long time, so you have to have patience. I tried my best to make my students happy. I have supervised 22 masters student and now I am supervising 3 PhD students. Always I am trying to help and cooperate my students.
In-depth knowledge of the respective field, Ability to motivate, ability to teach, Patience, Ethically sound
I think depth knowledge of related discipline, friendly behaviour, integrity and patience is essential for good supervisor.
Congratulations dear Dr. @ M. D.H. Prodhan. Many attributes require to be a supervisor, including an amicable behavior those are very important to inspire your beloved students. Wishes the best.
Understanding about the subject, research acumen and ability to help you to understand the research process and support you. All the best
I think the major quality of a supervisor is the scientific capability with good behavior
Dear Nadeesha Sewwandi Abegunasekara this is certainly an important question for every student who is looking for a good supervisor for his / her research work. In my case I would say that I have many years of experience and also a very good overview of our fields of research (inorganic chemistry and organometallic chemistry). Thus I think I'm able to provide prospective PhD students with interesting and sustainable ideas for their research projects. I also guide them when something does not work as expected, and I also value when they enrich their work by good ideas of their own.
Very interesting question. As a young supervisor, I provide the following qualities for my post graduate students:
1. Being a role model
2. Hardwork
3. Team leader
4. Perseverance
5. Time consciousness
6. Knowledge sharing
7. Friendliness
8. Guidance
9. Discipline
I think the good supervisor carry those qualities such as depth knowledge of research, guidance, hardworker, related discipline, friendly behaviour, integrity, patience, motivator, and so on.
After complete the research/degree, agood supervosor also chose a good journal to publish student paper. i think publication is important fact.
All the quality comes above discussion, among them depth knowledge on related subject, friendliness are important.
The research supervisor should take the opinions of their students in consideration
The supervisor should be friendly with his students but discplined at the same time
As supervisor we have to view our participant member not only in totality but also to keep our mind in our observation to study & control their contribution in a actual study manner . As supervisor one should not merely observe the students only but we have also to view the performance which may help them to move toward progressive line in their action for their future performance .
This is my personal opinion
Fortunately I am blessed to have loaded with excellent teachers during my student life and now as a teacher with excellent students in my teaching career. During my research, I got to have supervisor who is and has been role model to so many research scholars.
All qualities mentioned above by revered RG members are in my supervisor teacher and he has been the force behind our strength in every academic matter .
The most important quality we all scholars see in him is his leadership quality with full affection that binds all his research scholars under the umbrella of his enigmatic leadership.
An excellent researcher, a teacher par excellence, he is the best human being I have witnessed so far.
Each scholar is in regular contact with every other scholar in the what's group made by our supervisor sir. This is just unique. We share and feel the pleasure and pain of each other just like a large extended family apart from academic issues.
I adore a lot and feel immensely blessed to have an excellent teacher like him in my life.
Same way, I try to follow his footsteps as a supervisor to my children who are my students.
God bless all. Nadeesha Sewwandi Abegunasekara
Dear Itishree Padhi,
Sincere gratitude to you for your nice discussion and the way you have given the answer. Really, you spent your valuable time to write the answer. I think, you did the answer nicely and it will be useful for all of us.
Dear Ghusoon Natiq Abdul Hameed,
Thanks for your recommendations. A research supervisor should have the quality to motivate, to inspire the student for producing a fruitful output.
I always believe good supervisory outcomes good product, indeed.
I am working as a research supervisor since 2008. During this period, I have to try myself to guide the student with utmost care. I think, the supervisor"s quality is the vital issue to produce a quality research. I also believe that to produce a quality research, the student also have the capability to conduct the research properly.
Dear Nadeesha Sewwandi Abegunasekara we work in an experimental field of research, namely synthetic chemistry. In this disciplines the students spend most of the day in the lab. For chemistry I can say that normally the supervisor (i.e. me) conceives the research topic, supplies the lab space and chemicals, organizes payment of the student and writes the paper(s) that eventually come out of the student's work. I personally go to the labs at least once or twice every day and talk with the PhD students and post-docs about their work. I don't have special office hours, but all co-workers can come to my office whenever they want.
A research supervisor is key in the work of postgraduate students to build stamina and mentor the students in the field of specializing. As much of the work is for the student the guidance of the supervisor makes the burden of the students lighter
The skills of the supervisor in light of his theoretical and practical experience in his specialty play an important role in organizing the workflow, of postgraduate researchers, through continuous follow-up, providing advice, and overcoming the difficulties that encounter researchers in implementing the research project.
