My conversations with my Masters Thesis Tutor

During my Masters thesis, I strongly felt like I was Arya Stark and my tutor was Syrio Forrell. He had a strong Italian accent and similar facial features like Syrio.

I rewrote the training dialogues between Syrio and Arya in my context. :) I hope you like it

My turn on it: 

Tutor: You are late boy. Tomorrow you will be here at mid-day in my office.

Me: Who are you?

Tutor: You’re dancing master, Frederico Forel

….

Tutor: That is not the way boy. It is not a great topic if it has no primary data in it.

Me: It is too heavy.

Tutor: It is heavy as it needs to be. To make you smarter. Just so. One primary data source is all that is needed.

….

Tutor: Now you are referencing all wrong. Turn to peer reviewed references.

…

Tutor: Yes, you are narrowing down. That is good. The target is smaller. Now the literature review, let me see.

...

Tutor: The literature review must be precise.

Me: What if I use website references?

Tutor: The literature review must be peer reviewed. Can you drop peer reviewed articles? No. 9 years, Federico Forel was the first tutor to the students of GGSB. He knows these things. You must listen to me, boy.

Me: I am a girl.

Tutor: Boy…Girl..You are a Masters student. That is all. That is a case study. You are not doing an engineering report, you are doing…

Me: ...a Master thesis.

Tutor: (Laughs) Just so.

….

Tutor: Now we will begin the thesis. Remember child this is not the dance of engineering that we are learning, management dance. Literature review! Primary Data! This is the management dance. The FMP dance! It is swift and subtle. All students are made of water, do you know this? If you pierce them, the plagiarism leaks out, and they fail. Now you will try to write your project proposal for me.

……

 Tutor: Dead! Dead! Dead! …..Very dead!

….

Me: I don’t want to write my thesis today. …I have my visa appointment. My internship is hectic…I have to find a new house. I don’t care about stupid references.

Tutor: You are troubled?

Me: Yes.

Tutor: Good. Trouble is the perfect time for writing thesis. When you are dancing in South of France with your dogs and kittens, this is not when submission happens.

Me: I don’t like dogs.

Tutor: You are not here. You with your trouble. If you are with your trouble when submission happens…more trouble for you. Just so…

….

Tutor: How can you be as quick as real time analytics or as quiet as a patent application? When you are somewhere else, you are fearing for your degree. That is right. Do you pray for the Gods?

Me: The old and the new.

Tutor: There is only one god and his name is “Submission”. And there is only thing we say to submission.

….not today.

……

Tutor: Now you are dead.

Me: You said right. But you gave less grades.

Tutor: And now you are a dead girl.

Me: Only because you lied.

Tutor: My tongue lied. My grades shouted the truth. You were not seeing.

Me: I watched so…

Tutor: Watching is not seeing, dead girl. The seeing, the truth seeing. That is heart of referencing.
