CASTRO-RODRIGUEZ, Yuri  and  ROJAS-ORTEGA, Raúl. Dental graduates’ views on the bachelor thesis supervision process. Odontoestomatología [online]. 2022, vol.24, n.39, e218.  Epub Aug 01, 2022. ISSN 0797-0374.  https://doi.org/10.22592/ode2022n39e218.

We identified graduates’ views on their thesis supervision process as led by their thesis advisors. A qualitative study of graduates of the School of Dentistry of Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (Lima, Peru) included semi-structured interviews. The study categories were planning activities with the advisor, the advisor’s decisions, and general views on the advisor. Of the 20 interviewees, 12 (60%) were women. Planning was insufficiently discussed with the advisor; most interviewees said that they never had a first meeting to coordinate what the advisory sessions would be like. Dental students do not have a favorable view of thesis advisors. The main negative aspects were the lack of planning of activities and meetings.

Keywords : thesis; research projects; students; School of Dentistry.
