What is a supervision?
A supervision is the Cambridge name for a small-group teaching session. These are usually one hour in length with 2-4 students and (usually) a member of your College who is a specialist in the subject you are studying. Supervisions are arranged by your College and are your best opportunity to explore the course material in a much greater depth than lectures allow. They are designed to clarify any points brought up in lectures, to engage in in-depth problem-solving and allow you to discuss those aspects of the course which interest you most.
