So just defended thesis for the final time. There is a major revision and one of the panel backed out. Sigh.

Does anyone feel like their supervisions make them feel really stupid?

I'm 3rd year and every supervision I come out, I just feel really stupid. My academic credentials would suggest otherwise, and I know I can be brilliant. But gosh, my academic confidence is at rock bottom. Is it just me?


Ehmmm NO IT'S NOT. It's all of us. Two words: impostor syndrome. Learn to live with it.


That is a beautiful subject for a paper but yes (just heard the recording of my proposal defense for the first time) I should've failed. A mystery how I passed when everything was said to be "predictable"

Anyone here in the final stretch then mentor/adviser/supervisor suddenly left the country?

Abandoned by Mentor
D

Last year done with proposal defense for MA and presented some parts internationally, during the final stride. Mentor abandons for a better opportunity in a different country. No one in the department has the same expertise as my thesis. What do? All ready feeling doubtful as my work now is out of my thesis like after MA what do I do with it. Currently my MA is in literature.
