Advice 2 will be our next attempt, we try somewhat (please only comment on section X) but this is often ignored as they prefer to restart from intro each time. I will try the extracting method and send / print only the necessary pages. Their successful students are from early career when they were cosupervisor so them having more students has (potentially) reduced our chance of success in academia. | |

Then again, OP says the supervisor "constantly" misses giving promised feedback, which suggests whatever keeps getting in the way at this point can hardly be "unexpected" anymore. I think 10 PhD students is a lot, by the way. | |
| Oct 23, 2021 at 16:45 | comment | added | user116675 | @henning would if be "unethical" for a supervisor to accept a number of PhD students they can handle, only to subsequently be tasked with unexpected time-consuming departmental duties? We do not know the situation that this particular supervisor is in, nor the path that took them there, so I would prefer to withhold judgment. | |
| Oct 23, 2021 at 16:42 | comment | added | henning no longer feeds AI | It would be "unethical" (in the sense of not meeting legitimate expectations) for a supervisor to accept more PhD students than she/he can handle. Not being able to communicate honestly about what students/collaborators can expect when is also unprofessional. | |
