Application of k-means in the perception of supervisors from students’ side

The article is about the application of k-means in the perception of supervisors from the students’ side. The student-supervisor relationship is an important factor in whether or not a graduate program will be successful. Unfortunately, the student-supervisor relations do not always end up with students having a profitable experience and effectively finishing the academic work. Based on a survey taken from students and supervisors, their perceptions of student-supervisor relationships were clustered using the k-means clustering approach. As a result, the conclusion which states that student-supervisor relationships are equal and should be discussed before starting the collaborative academic work was made.
