Hi,
It really stressing me out.
I just finished my first year presentation and waiting for the results whether I could continue on my Phd or I will be downgraded to Mphil (thats the university policy).
I am really stressed because my supervisor just keep asking for the results since I started my first year till now. I have to meet him every week to show him the results (which is none) and I have to listen to his comment saying that I am gonna fail my PhD on every meeting. Making me so stressed and having bad thought to the Chinese supervisor. Plus, I just got pregnant with my first child. The hormone making me even stressed.
I would want to change topic and start with a new one, however, I am afraid it might be late as I will be sponsored with my government for only 3 and half years. T-T
I am doubting whether I am the problem or my supervisor.
Could any seniors give me advice regarding this matter.
Thanks

Hello! I know how you feel! I'm also doing my PhD and will have an assessment at the end of July to see if I'm suited for PhD or I'm gonna do Masters.

To me having a supervisor who constantly asks for meetings is a good one.
Mine is a little bit busy and doesn't have time to supervise me properly, so I've been given pretty much free reign about my research.

If you don't mind telling, what is your field of studies? Is it difficult to start getting data?

(Are you by chance Malaysian with JPA scholarship?)
