| Feb 2, 2011 at 5:16 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | In my limited experience, one is discouraged from being blunt to students, presumably because everyone has their own favourite horror story of an advisor cutting their student of at the knees with criticism. So I don't really appreciate being told "if they are not on track, say so, because I bet you they didn't know that". | |
| Feb 2, 2011 at 5:14 | comment | added | Igor Rivin | I completely agree with @Alex. Furthermore, you (@Anonymous) would do well to remember that professors are generally hired more for their ability to prove theorems than for their social skills. | |
| Feb 2, 2011 at 5:04 | comment | added | Alex B. | I think you may have misunderstood the purpose of this site. It is not to give you a forum for venting your anger or your frustration. If you have an axe to grind with your adviser, then I suggest that you follow your own preaching and talk to him personally, rather than ranting here anonymously. | |
