Hello everyone,
I am so desperate
I will start my 3rd year soon. I didn't fully pass my upgrade.I did pass the viva, but the report was awful according to both examiner! (one of them my 2nd supervisor)
My primary thought its ok. So, the examiners wanted me to re-write my whole work and resubmit it.the problem is I am not having the right feedback
I've changed my second supervisor as the previous never help me and this one is not doing any better as he clearly says that he got his students as a priority (he is their primary) and he is not planning to meet/add anything. He suggested for me to get help from someone else (other labs) . As giving me feedback regarding work and thoughts or anything as my primary usually busy and whenever I receive anything from him usually about my English (pronunciation+writing everything except the science)
So, the supervision dilemma was from the 1st year , I really didn't have anyone and it starts to become overwhelming especially now because I am really frustrated about my upgrade. My Primary now is saying u couldn't write proper upgrade report how would you write a thesis? that went as a slap into my face! I thought you said its good in the 1st place?
Anyway I am re-writing my report now and almost finishing and I am planning to go to another lab as a visitor to continue my work there as there are experiments I have to modify and as I don't have much time so, I thought to contact other labs.
Then, my Primary said, if you go I will doubt that you will take a phD ? as you will don't have proper supervision and I am only going to meet you once a month (which actually the same now)
What do you recommend me to do? I feel like leaving? I cannot make a decision, too tired! the other lab is good and beneficial for me.
