发帖数: 25 | 1 Talk to a third person, e.g. someone in your department who is in charge of graduate students, such as departmental academic advisor. Then ask him/her for
advice after explaining your situations and concerns. He/she may let your
advisor know your situation in a nice way and help find a good solution.
The worst case is to change advisor, which happens often in many CS depts.
Finding a good match btw advisors and advisees is not an easy thing.
In addition, from your side, you can do things more ac | M*********e

I was at similar situation as your several years ago, my advisor didn't
know that I was his student even after I had worked for one year in his
lab. It is not rare that advisors and students have little time to
communicate.
Do some research/implementation work by yourself, but be related to your
advisor's work.
Don't need to tell him before you get preliminary (positive) result,
otherwise he won't be interested.
You should have taken your boss' class. | i******y

visor" or not? Is he going to be your thesis advisor or do you want him to be
your thesis advisor?
There is a difference between "academic advisor" and "thesis advisor".
Academic advisor is the professor assigned to you by your department to help y
ou choosing courses, meeting academic requirements such as sufficient credits
per semester, and so on. Basically this title is just created to make the illu

发帖数: 70 | 10 hmm... Didn't exepct the department is so small. Being small itself is not tha
t bad. But in your case, it will be difficult to change, I think, unless you c
hange a school.
To be frank, it really does not make too much sense to get a PhD from a school
that is not on the map, unless the advisor is good because PhD advisor is mor
e important than school. However, it seems that you cannot gain much from the
professor.
So I would rather transfer to a better school if I want to get PhD, otherwise

发帖数: 10 | 11 I completely agree. Get a master's degree and find a job or transfer to a better school to get a PhD.
