Goodness me! I now realise just how lucky I am. My supervisor reads my stuff chapter by chapter or even section by section if I get stuck and gets back to me with feedback after a few days, within a week if it is a long chapter. She is constantly on my case negotiating deadlines so that I get the work done. The associate supervisor who I haven't needed to have much contact with will be reading the final draft before it is submitted and he says he needs a week to get it back to me. I did contact him and work out the schedule in plenty of time so that has helped I guess. I really don't understand supervisors who would not read the thesis or take such a long time to read. It is a stressful enough process without that kind of additionalpressure.
