My mentor

6 years ago in Dissertation/Thesis By Naman Bhalla

Supervising

I am stuck with my supervisor as he is never happy with me and is a complete control freak. I have completed the quantitative study of my thesis in which I conducted the same survey 3 times because everytime my mentor comes up with a new point to raise. All this is making me doubt my capabilities, and I am losing confidence.
Please tell me what I can do?

He is your supervisor, and he can’t be lenient with you. I think you should follow what he is saying and do the changes accordingly. You can do one thing, sit and discuss what type of mistakes you are making and which part of your research needs editing the most. Maybe then you will be able to fulfill his requirements.

No, I don’t agree that if he is your supervisor then he is always right and you should always follow him. In my opinion, you should start finding someone else who can check your work and can brief you in a better way.
