jenn_unpluggedI just poked my head in the admin's door to ask her a question.
Her: I have a question for you about [student name].
Me: Who?
Her: [student name]. You're listed as the supervisor for her Master's thesis.
Me: Huh? What? I don't even know who that is!
Her: Hmmm. That's not good.
Me: I can't believe I would have forgotten about a Masters student. Wouldn't I have had to sign a paper to be listed as her advisor?
Her: No, I don't think so. But I don't know why she would list you if you weren't her advisor.
Me: I just can't believe I would have forgotten about a Masters student. She certainly hasn't contacted me recently, which doesn't bode well.
Her: Yeah -- I'll send her an email.
So I'm thinking that if your Master's thesis advisor doesn't know who the hell you are right before you're supposed to graduate, you lose at grad school.
