A supervisor needs to know where a student is at! By this I mean, a supervisor needs to know how much work someone is putting into their doctorate, what their challenges are, what worries them, and what their strengths and weaknesses are.
Although the above may all seem obvious, students may try to obfuscate where they are at because they are worried about being found out in terms of not being up to doctoral standard. A supervisor can only help if they know where a student is at, what their skill level is and what challenges them. So an open and honest supervisor-student relationship is best for both parties and will lead to better progress.
