TBH For my first attempt at an HND graded project (mini dissertation) I misunderstood the role of my supervisor and basically expected to be spoon fed what to do and have all my questions answered, it did NOT work out that way and I tanked it and had to redo it next year. I fared far better as i worked a lot more independently, if i didn't know something i found a lecturer that did, i'd email and specifically ask for an appointment to discuss a matter, or just turn up at their office and introduce myself...I had maybe 3 meetings with my supervisor (same one) and the relationship was totally different. my questions (and his) were all more focused on issues a supervisor could help with, rather than 'everything'
