Well, most of the time its quite hard to deal with both the main and the co-supervisor  As you've said, conflicting ideas (and probably some money matters) can be really cumbersome for the student @____@ Still, I'm sure your main and co-supervisor are literate in specific aspects of your field right? So usually you'll have to consult both of them anyway. For instance, my main supervisor is good at molecular biology; whereas my co is good at conventional morphology and taxonomy. Most of the time their area of expertise won't overlap

I'd keep in touch with my co supervisor, but not sure how frequent. Unfortunately its easier said than done

QUOTE(Human Nature @ Apr 23 2012, 12:10 PM) my co during my master is just a name only. never involve in anything, and got his name listed in all my master publications. QUOTE(Human Nature @ Apr 24 2012, 12:48 AM) Hehe procedures. When i was about to submit my thesis after viva, it was delayed by 3-4 weeks because need my co-supervisor signature and he was too busy to flip my thesis. Lucky you, some lecturers / researchers are ethical enough to refuse having their names in paper when they have no contribution, while others will go berserk  . Anyway, back to the topic, i think it is good to keep co-supervisor in the loop so that he or she will know what is happening. I really dislike supervisors/ co-supervisors who never contribute anything (apart from asking students to add more unnecessary work into their papers/ thesis); and I even hate those who take credit for themselves or belittle our efforts/work put into the paper/thesis... Its sad that unprofessional supervisors like this (quite a lot summore) exists among the scientific community
