----- Original Nachricht ---- Von: Tim Smithers <[log in to unmask]> > All PhD programmes and all PhD supervisors have a professional > responsibility to provide high quality supervision.

That > this is sadly true does not change the fact that a PhD is > necessarily a supervised training in doing research. this sounds like 'marriage is necessarily between a man and a woman' and Thinking that an option--to escape > an unhappy, inadequate, or useless supervision situation--is > to go without supervision, is a basic mistake; a clear indication > that the student has not yet learned what research is about, > and thus, that he or she needs some proper supervised training > in doing research. this sounds like 'a woman can never be happy without a man' , that 'a lesbian just to be in love with a man to know what love really is'. since when phd is necessaily a supervised trainning in doing research? as far as i know, phd is an independent, orginial inquiry contributing to (collective) knowlege. how abandoning an unhappy inadequate or useless supervision is an escape? i will tell you that it takes tremendous courage and often support for abused women to leave their abusors. most cannot. i will say that same thing about phd students who are in unpleasant situations. i wonder who is really mistaken here. rosan rosan Machen Sie aus 14 Cent spielend bis zu 100 Euro!
