I didn't know that a lecturer with only master's degree can become a main supervisor for master's by research student. Wow, ask you to write and expect you to put his name as the main author???? That's too much! Unfortunately, it's hard to figure out which supervisor is good, unless we have work with them before.

You talked to the dean to get a co supervisor?

The graduate office staff assigns me to him as i am not the bachelor degree student in this uni previously. He had well establish networking (so-called cable) with management staff and i found that many academic staff boycott him such as purposely absent to jamuan organized by him. blink.gif What is more, that's really hard for me to seek help from other lecturer with the same area of expertise as my main supervisor. Some of them refuse to help me. After struggle for two semester, i decide to talk to dean straight away and assigned with another co-supervisor. rclxms.gif Unfortunately, i cannot change main supervisor as i defense my proposal dy. That's really a nightmare for me to deal with him in the past three years.....


For Lyners who decide to step into research field, don't judge a lecturer by his/her cv. Better try contact graduate students under their supervision to ask for clarification whether he or she is trustable or just a mr/dr/prof kangkung in fact.... wink.gif

My master supervisor also expected the same thing from me, and kept delaying my thesis until i have submitted a certain number of papers with his name as first author. Of course i refused and all hell breaks lose. During viva, i was not afraid of the external examiners but my supervisors instead! Was a very intense and stressful period towards the end of my master.

This kind of supervisor is everywhere.

That's why I just stick with my supervisors that I've worked with previously. Difficult to judge other lecturers that I don't recognize.

As for my experience, both of my co-supervisor are very easy to deal with since one of them is experienced in stomach content while the other one is more on embryonic development and feed formulation, both are related to my main objective.

The downside is that they tend to add in more ideas and give me more works to be done laugh.gif

My co supervisor did nothing but to be awarded with a title as a co supervisor. Whatever you publish or do might reap in benefit for her as well.
