I guess the lesson is, when an advisor rejects your thesis idea, get them to put their reasons in writing.

- bumby 6y agoI had their rejections in email. Ultimately, the committee brought them around and accepted my thesis so I didn’t feel it was worth burning those bridges.
- WJW 6y agoWhat would that get you though, other than knowing you were right (which you already knew without having it in writing) and (if you decide to publicly call them out on it) enemies for life in your chosen field of study?
- ScottBurson 6y agoOh, I wouldn't do it publicly. The point would be to push back, in private discussions, against the argument that the result was not interesting enough to publish.
