Abstract:
In this narrative recounting of a Malaysian academic medical department's mystery-seed project, lecturers reflect on the parallels between cultivating plants and supervising students. As the seeds grow, struggle, or fail to germinate, the participants examine how patience, intervention, adaptability, and environmental conditions influence development. Through experimentation and shared reflection, they discover that effective supervision requires recognizing individual needs, responding creatively to setbacks, and providing the conditions in which growth can occur.
