There some academicians that their characteristics are fixed upon the dictation for the direction of research towards the graduate students. From several experiences this attitude could lead to no "real research output". But what is important here is the personal communication plights and practical research deficiencies that are coherent to this type of supervision. I want to know what could be done from the perspective of academic management to reduce such cases and what the best suggestions are for students to deal with in such a situation. This case could be even crucial in PhD researches.
Dear @Ali, students had the privilege of choosing the supervisor when I was doing the Masters and PhD. But there aren't many to choose from. So we expect to choose one whose research is reasonably close to ours, and work hard on our own. The supervisor has expertise in his/her own area, but may not be the expert on our topic of research. At times, supervisors don't understand what we have written, and this shows us that we need to be very careful to be able to communicate our ideas so that they may be understood and accepted. Students are actually important to supervisors, because they share our publications. (But I have heard of cases when students changed their supervisor, and at times it led to better results. Good luck.)
