| May 24, 2017 at 10:28 | comment | added | The Quantum Physicist | @Faheem too optimistic is a good description to what I said. But a professor failing such a student will definitely get bad reputation for it, unless it's the only time he does it. The guy published nature papers! That's kind of a big deal!! What kind of professor fails a nature publishing PhD? That would be very peculiar and will not help the supervisor in any way. | |
| May 24, 2017 at 10:12 | comment | added | Faheem Mitha | I doubt it would "harm them a lot", but I also agree that the supervisor has little reason (assuming basic sanity) to fail her student, and it's certainly not in her interest to do so. And I think "would even have to answer to a higher authority on that if they fail you" is unreasonably optimistic wrt how academia works. Insofar as there is a "higher authority" goes, they won't care. | |
