<p>Glad you are having a great experience, lidusha. From the website, my impression is that most students’ experience with their advisors is not all recipes and bed checks.</p>
<p>Here is another excerpt from the website: [MIT</a> EECS - EECS Masters of Engineering: Thesis Guide page 7](<a href=“http://www.eecs.mit.edu/ug/thesis-guide-7.html]MIT”>http://www.eecs.mit.edu/ug/thesis-guide-7.html)</p>
<p>“The Alienated Supervisor. Students often think a supervisor has lost patience with the student and the project when it is nothing personal, just the press of other commitments. Do notreact to this situation by disappearing… Be visible and send updates even if there’s no response.”</p>
<p>I question whether the advising skills of professors are “awesome” when standing students up, not responding to emails of their research and academic advisees is the norm, and they can’t even be expected to learn the student’s name. Just wondering if this is just part of the course 6 culture, or if this advice would apply institute-wide.</p>
