Value added

“Some people have unusual approaches to supervising. Some people may say: go to the mountains and come back when you have a finished thesis and I will look at it. Based on my experience—the first time someone works on a research project, they really don’t know what to do. Especially what to do when they hit the wall. About the language of the field, from data to methods to actually putting it on paper writing—you need a lot of help. Obviously, you can get done with your thesis by figuring it out on your own, but this is where supervisors can give giant value added by holding their hand and providing feedback.”
