Supervisors are usually swamped with obligations in the academic world, or with their own reserach projects. They do not have enough time to properly supervise students, or are too tired to do so. Moreover, after supervising a number of students during theses writing/research projects, supervisors take their role for granted and disregard active participation in the supervision process.

However, openeness and honesty in communication should be a priority in the supervision process. Supervision can have a significant impact on the development of virtues in students.<ref>Rea Roje, Vicko Tomić, Ivan Buljan, Ana Marušić.
