Since the number of graduate students supervised by each tutor is limited each year, what kind of tutor should candidates choose? Here are four common types of graduate tutors that I have compiled for you. Welcome to watch!

Parental type: scientific research, work and life are all inclusive.

Wang Jun is now a teacher at the Physical Education Institute of a key university in the provincial capital. During his graduate studies, he studied industrial economics. After two stages of master's degree and doctor's degree, he successfully stayed in school to teach.

"It is difficult to stay in school, and the tutor has done a lot of work." Wang Jun said that he was the first to be admitted to graduate school with professional achievements, and many teachers hoped to recruit him. Among these mentors, Wang Jun took a fancy to his later mentor at a glance. "He is the head of the college, a key position in the school, and his academic performance is also very good."

During the postgraduate period, the tutor took care of him in all aspects, almost like his parents. "For example, on weekends, my tutor often invites me to his house for dinner, but on holidays, my tutor will take my family out to play with me, and my mistress will even help me wash clothes."

What makes Wang Jun more grateful is that Jenny introduced him to a girlfriend. "She is a graduate student of Jenny, two grades shorter than me, and also a teacher elder sister." Now, they are married and have a lively and lovely son.

Of course, Wang Jun is also very competitive academically. He has published a number of CSSCI papers, and his performance has been stable in the first place in this major, and he has successfully won the "Principal Scholarship" symbolizing the highest honor. This series of achievements also makes the tutor particularly proud. Therefore, Wang Jun also played a key role in the national social science fund project undertaken by the tutor.

Blink of an eye, it's graduation season again. With the help of the tutor, Wang Jun successfully stayed in school to teach.

Boss type: arrange students to take jobs everywhere

"If I am a graduate student, I will definitely not be admitted to the doctor!" This is the first time that Qi Tian met his tutor, and the other party left him a message, which shocked him very much.

Qi Tianxue is an engineering major, and there are many projects under the guidance of his tutor, including scientific research projects and more commercial projects. So, from Teacher's Day that year, Qi Tian and several boys went on a business trip for the tutor almost once a week. "Most of them are in Zibo, Weifang and Qingdao in the province, mainly for debugging and using training of some ERP software and logistics projects."

In the first semester, Qi Tian still felt quite fresh, he could travel regularly, and his tutor gave him several hundred yuan in service fees every month. "Many students are especially envious."

However, after a long time, Qitian became more and more disgusted with business trips. "It's those jobs over and over again, that is, going to different companies for debugging." Qi Tian said that this kind of life is very different from the postgraduate life he envisioned. "Not free, I feel that my tutor has become my own boss, and there is only a naked money relationship in my eyes."

The word "boss" has also become the name of Qi Tianhe's fellow disciples for their tutors. "Later, I told my tutor that I wanted to spend more time preparing my graduation thesis and so on. The tutor said that as long as you listen to me, you will be able to pass. "

After studying as a graduate student for three years, Qi Tian, as an expert in a project team, has been to cities of all sizes 13. I finished my graduation thesis in less than a month, and successfully passed the defense after patchwork.

Nowadays, the relationship between Qi Tian and his mentor is very delicate. "Sometimes I feel a little disgusted and feel that I have been working for my tutor for three years."

Pedant type: doing scientific research in the laboratory every day

"If you don't go to the lab for two days, the tutor's phone will definitely call on time and ask us what's going on." Zhao Jian's major is signal, and his tutor has many scientific research projects. Every day from morning till night, his tutor asked them to look up information and do experiments in the laboratory.

Zhao Jian said that after graduate school, he thought it would be much easier. "I didn't expect the tutor to be particularly strict with us." Every day, the tutor comes to the laboratory early and arranges the experimental projects of the day, so that students can complete some sub-projects independently.

So, from the first year of the study, Zhao Jian got up at 7: 30 every morning, came to the laboratory at 8: 00 on time after dinner, cleaned up, made tea for the tutor, then turned on the computer and projector, and sat in the seat waiting for the tutor to arrange the task for the day.

Zhao Jian said with a smile that most boys in the same lab don't have girlfriends. "It's really a great contribution to the laboratory!"

However, the strict requirements of the tutor also brought many benefits to Zhao Jian and them. Four people in the laboratory have published academic papers in international journals.

What bothers Zhao Jian is his future career. "I don't want to go to scientific research institutions, and I don't want to take a Ph.D. exam. I always do these research projects with my tutor. How does it help my employment? I'm not sure. "

Shepherd type: except for the opening defense, basically no one can be seen.

"I haven't even seen my tutor since I entered school, and I have only contacted him several times by email." Yu Jing is a graduate student in a university in the provincial capital. Her tutor is an associate professor and only takes one graduate student every year.

"I am particularly envious when I see other tutors eating in the New Year. Our tutor has no movement at all." In desperation, Yu Jing often calls her tutor and asks what books to read at this stage and what problems to pay attention to in the next stage. The tutor will say coldly, "email me!" "

The tutor replied to the email in time. But the tutor is not very interested in some questions raised by Jing. "For example, when asked which professional books the tutor should read at this stage, he said that there is no specific requirement and he can read some latest academic journals." When asked what kind of periodicals to read, the tutor replied, "You just go to the library reading room and check it yourself."

This training mode of "herding sheep" is gradually adapting to quietness. "For example, my roommates in the dormitory and the tasks assigned by their tutors will be completed with me."

Despite this, Yu Jing is still a little depressed. But the teacher elder sister's words finally let her have a bottom in my heart. "She said that tutors usually appear at the time of thesis opening and thesis defense, and there are basically no people at ordinary times. Therefore, in the past three years, I still make my own plans, which is also an exercise! " X comforts himself.
