It is extremely important to have a supportive supervisor even in younger / lower levels of education! You are absolutely right, Vicky! You remember very well what a determining factor Maggie's selection of supervisor was for the Matura Arbeit! He not only genuinely supported Maggie with the project but provided the extra encouragement and motivation needed to power through everything until the end of the final school year! His role was invaluable!
My advisor in my Phd program was pretty well-known but not easy to work with, to put it extremely mildly. I think it made my PhD experience, which was not easy to begin with, even more traumatic.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience - I’m so sorry to hear that you went through that. It’s very sad when supervisors are not supportive and don’t help their students.
