1Have you actually "ghosted" him as in not responding to requests (which happens once in a while with most people as they may miss emails), or have you only not updated him? I am a professor, I always have enough to do, and I don't set student projects in such a way that I'm dependent on the student doing work. So I actually don't mind if I don't hear from a student for some time, and it isn't a problem for me. From my point of view no apology is needed as no harm is done, so just communicating normally may be the way forward.– Christian HennigCommented Nov 7, 2023 at 19:13

He didn't ask for any updates. Never does, it seems (not that I will misuse it. this is my thesis after all, I want to make it count). but the tasks that I was given by his grad student at the moment were very elementary replication tasks, I take it to get me up to speed with what they are doing right now. nothing in terms of actual contribution yet. more like assignments– PrakashCommented Nov 7, 2023 at 19:14

2Chances are that this doesn't cause any problem for the professor. So you don't need to worry about contacting him now. (Of course the professor may have the impression that you are rather slow and haven't done what you were meant to do, but this is not a problem for the professor, only for you, if at all, and chances are apologies and special ways of communicating won't help with that, only doing the work well will.)– Christian HennigCommented Nov 7, 2023 at 19:21

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
