DAAD funding allowed the Centre for Research on Evaluation, Science and Technology (CREST) at Stellenbosch University to develop and offer an online course for postgraduate supervisors across Africa. The course is now being offered for the third time and has benefited from inputs from Rhodes University’s Chrissie Boughey and Sioux Mckenna, who developed and teach one of the modules. Recently alumni of the course gathered at Stellenbosch University and Chrissie and Sioux joined the team for a few days of lively discussions and workshops.
