The satisfaction of autonomy, competence, and relatedness goes beyond the academic classroom. Supporting those needs is equally important in the MSc/Ph.D. thesis supervision process. Therefore, for self-improvement purposes, I am collecting a survey independently from the students under my supervision. The following scale has been used:
1 - Strongly Agree
2 - Agree
3 - Neither Agree or Disagree
4 - Disagree
5 - Strongly Disagree
