Main support provided to dissertation students: very common
Main support provided to dissertation students: very common: 1. Advise students to do literature review BUT do not offer a e-library. 2. Introduce new and restrictive (but unnecessary) requirements that make dissertation works of students more difficult. 3. Discourage students to study innovative and practical topics. 4. Encourage students to do mature but updated topics with clearly (but narrowly) defined hypotheses and expect students to produce a lengthy dissert ation report. 5. Ask students to study advanced statistics that are infeasible to apply and applied in a way to address narrowly defined hypotheses; and still expert students to produce a lengthy report. 6. Ask students to learn research methods that have very limited practical value and which are unable to solve messy problems in the real world anyway (i.e., a waste of time).
