I am deeply indebted to my supervisor Professor David Boud and co-supervisor Professor Christine Toohey, who provided guidance, support and professional mentoring over an extended period. I am particularly indebted to David for his ability to steer this study in an area where research was absent, his efforts to encourage critical self-reflection, and his ability to find time when there likely wasn’t any to quickly turn around material that was submitted.
