i am so fucking done with this shit. i've been writing my master's thesis for like a year now while working full time. my thesis professor has been so unhelpful. he didn't even know at first that we had to sign like a guidance contract or something, and he gave me the wrong document formatting guide at first too. he didn't ask what kind of guidance i wanted and needed, and he asked like once every two months via email how i was doing. every time i'd send him my current version of my thesis to read, but he never commented on those versions. so i thought i was doing fine.
now when i thought i was close to being finished with the thesis, and i sent it to him to comment on, he gave me really vague and unhelpful comments. i tried to ask what comments and points were most critical and what i should focus on, since i have such a limited time as i need to graduate this fall. he forwarded the message to one of the profs appointed to evaluate and grade my thesis later on, and that prof said that i should just fix what i fix and he'll comment on that version.
so i fixed stuff i thought were most critical to fix. i sent the fixed version to the evaluating prof, and asked if i was close to my own target grade. he just said he'll get back to me next week, which was last week. he got back to me last night (half an hour before the week ended lol), and gave actual useful comments i would have needed like SIX FUCKING MONTHS AGO. now i don't have time to fix all of those things. and no info about my estimated grade, so i still have no idea how close i am to my goal!!!
on top of that, if i want to graduate this fall, i need to put my application in before december. but my thesis professor booked me a time slot for the mandatory seminar to present my thesis five days after the application deadline. i was like wth, this isn't okay, there's no time! but he insisted that the timeframe given by uni is only an estimate, and there's enough time. i tried to argue again that i need to 100% graduate now, but he just said it'll be fine.
WHY??? at every turn i as a student were given such tight deadlines, everyone and their grandma are trying to push students to graduate as fast as possible, and now the university itself is the final boss here!!
LET. ME. OUT. i'm crying because i'm so frustrated and angry. i thought i was so close to formally submitting my thesis for evaluation and be done with it, but no, at the last minute when there's no time to fix everything, i get told that my theoretical background is too narrow, i don't have enough sources, and the document formatting guide i used was wrong.
