My funny problem with my supervisors is that they are not experts at all in the research field of my project!

Hi guys,

I have some simple and short question. I want to know how unique I am in the since of receiving no help from my supervisors. They even do not know how to approach the project and what the question is!

- Did you find and define the topic of your project or it was defined from the beginning?
- Is your supervisor helping you in your research? How many hours per week does he/she spend for talking to you about the project and possible approaches, how to proceed, what to do, etc?
- After you talk with your supervisor about your project/problem, do you feel that you learned something or you feel that you just wasted your time and (s)he has no idea about what to say and (s)he doesn't know even the subject?
- Is your supervisor able to give you useful advice/comments after you send him an interesting paper/publication to read?

Cheers,
