Students should receive four supervisions for each single IIA module: three supervisions on examples papers plus one revision supervision (which will usually be in Lent for Michaelmas modules). Additional supervisions will not normally be authorised. When submitting reports on CamCORS at the end of each term, supervisors should claim only for the supervisions given or due to be given in that term. Payment for a fourth supervision should be claimed at the end of the term in which the supervision was given.

Third year Module Leaders are responsible for finding and appointing supervisors for their module. Use the web-based Supervisor Marketplace to advertise for supervisors, and to look for potential supervisors offering their services. Potential supervisors should be approached early on. Supervisors may be drawn from teaching staff, research students and post-docs. Supervisors must attend a Supervisor Training course before they start to supervise. Supervisions are paid for by Colleges, and supervisors must submit reports and claim payment through CamCORS.

Visa restrictions for international postgraduate students acting as undergraduate supervisors
Departments should be aware that, because of their visa conditions, international postgraduate students need to complete a worker agreement with their College before they can deliver undergraduate supervisions. Departments who are engaged in commissioning or recommending undergraduate supervisors should advise international postgraduate students that they must contact their College tutorial office for advice before they start supervising.

Ideally, students should be supervised in pairs. If you are unable to find enough high quality supervisors, you should increase the group size rather than enlist less capable supervisors. It is essential that all students taking a module receive comparable supervision (same number of supervisions, equivalent group sizes). Singleton supervisions should not be given without the prior consent of the Director of Studies; Colleges may refuse payment for such supervisions.

For some E-modules, the problem of finding enough high-quality supervisors has proved insuperable and special arrangements have been put in place with the agreement of the Subject Group Chair and the Teaching Office. For these modules only, examples classes are held in lieu of the normal small-group supervisions. These appear on the lecture timetable. There is no charge to Colleges for these classes, but individual feedback to students is necessarily limited.

Module Leaders should provide supervisors with completed handouts, examples sheets and cribs in good time.  They should hold at least one informal discussion to exchange best practice in how to supervise topics that are commonly found difficult.
