#PhDSupervisors/Advisors: Feedback can be POSITIVE.
Point out the strengths and things that have worked. Especially at the start.
As the student develops more confidence you can be more critical.
It's a progression.

#PhDSupervisors: Wondering about the right way to supervise? There's no one right style. You need a different supervisory style for each student. They're all different.
Some are independent - some need more support
Some more resilient - some less
