That is so annoying - personally I am tough but empathic. I will help but they need to show effort.
If you are worried about student evaluation I would personally set up a Q & A session. 'Thank for your e-mail, I have arranged a Q & A for these questions where I can answer fully in person (or webinar)'. In response to further e-mails: I unfortunately do not have time to repeat material covered in lectures individually.
Or 'have a further look over the material and e-mail me again in a week if you still do not understand - it is important that you able to be as independent as possible with your learning following the lectures however anxiety-provoking it is'.
I wouldn't worry about it - we all have moments when we can look 'stupid'. Your supervisor could have lacked tact but at least your supervisor cared enough to make sure you are 'up to speed' In a challenging process it is difficult to value it - but after it you can feel how much you have learnt and glad you went through it.
I suppose it depends on what you feel is going on for you to then know how to respond. Whether it is your PhD that is the problem and it is just a normal stage or your anxiety, depression or self-esteem issues that are colouring it?
If you are not enjoying anything - I would seek some professional help.
Hi All
I have reached a decision to apply for a PhD in Psychology but I think I have left it slightly too late for maximum chance of starting October this year. It seems that a lot of deadlines for funded PhD were end of January. I have seen a few up now and I wondered for those that are veterans that look throughout the year - now onwards are there still many funded PhD in psychologist advertised?
Many thanks
