What Is Your Worst Experience With A Project Supervisor? by Dpsychologist: 9:34am On Jun 11, 2020
It is usually a relief for student when they are in their final year, about to graduate. However during the course of project work your supervisor can either comment or torment you.

I happen to choose my project supervisor through balloting. Initially i was happy, the man isn't a troublesome lecturer like the others or so i thought. When i met him, I told him lets start from first semester break but he told me to calm down that it is a second semester work.

In second semester, two weeks after resumption i told him lets start he still told me to chill. Till almost 2 months later he told me to see him in his office. He told me to bring project topics. I literally brought 10 topics but he rejected them all, giving various excuses all this was because he was planning on using me to do research for him.

He then gave me a topic, that topic was difficult and i know i will spend alot, so i told him a student was already given the topic. Surprisingly he changed the topic the next day but said i will have to submit chapter 1-3 in 3weeks at thesame time. I told him it will be better if we do it chapter by chapter. This man wants to swallow me. He was like i shouldn't tell him what to do. He said i am a lazy student that i should do it within that timeframe and my work should be voluminous.


Three weeks later, after telling me to meet him on tuesday. I came to his office but he was not there. He kept giving excuses till a whole 2weeks was gone and he was blaming me for not wanting to see him. When we finally met he said that my work is voluminous as if i am writing a text book. He told me to reduce the pages and submit it to him chapter by chapter(in my mind i was like didn't i told you this before).

When i wanted to start my lab work, he told me to go and start under the supervision of the lab technologist, that he has nothing to do there.

I kept giving the man update and telling him my challenges, he also said ok and never bothered to visit me during lab work.

After i finished, he still didn't ask about the result until he heard about our internal defence. Come and see calls, he called me 20 times within 2hours enquiring about result.

He made me come to school on sunday after church to finalize the discussion, conclusion and recommendation because the internal defence was the next day.

Thank God i passed the project with an A grade. All this while, i never knew the man was even interested in publishing my project work. Later he will be credited for what he did not even participate.

Over to you.
What is the worst Experience you had with your project supervisor whether as an undergraduate or a postgraduate?

Supervisors eh.
Although my supervisor gave me 5topics to choose just 1. He seem kind to me at first until i started my lab work. He was terrorising me. Everyday he will come to lab to criticise me. My other colleagues are uncomfortable when he is in the lab because he disturbs them also. There was a day he came and i already finished. He started questioning me about my result that where is the evidence (picture) i told him i didn't snap it. He got angry and told me to repeat it again. He will tell me to go and buy distilled water with my own money. That man terrorise me finish.
I was the first to Start lab work but the last to finish.
The man will be Disturbing me with unnecessary calls.
At the end he still gave me B.
