In recent years, there have been frequent reports that some graduate students were overwhelmed by their studies, squeezed by their tutors, and didn't have time to get their diplomas, so they committed suicide under great physical and mental pressure. I'm very sorry to hear that.
Not long ago, a tragedy happened in Dalian University of Technology on 10/3. A graduate student majoring in chemical engineering wrote a suicide note of 1000 words and hanged himself. After reading his suicide note, people are often speechless. Judging from the suicide note he left, because his graduation thesis was postponed, the tutor explicitly asked him to use the thesis, not the patent. Graduate students have been doing experiments last year, and the efficiency of experimental equipment is less than one third. In order to improve work efficiency, he had to do data all night, and the equipment problem was asked many times before it was repaired. The tutor did not give him professional teaching in teaching, but always gave a negative evaluation of his research results. Staying up late for a long time and lack of sleep will often lead to psychological anxiety, which will often leave him in an extreme state of doubt and denial. Moreover, from his last speech, we can see that he has entered a serious state of self-denial. Sometimes it's not terrible to die, what's even more terrible is to live worthlessly. Under the long-term anxiety and self-denial, the graduate student thought that he was worthless, which eventually led to this tragedy.
During the avalanche, every snowflake felt right. In recent years, some graduates of master's degree and doctor's degree have become the mood of seeing tutors. If the tutor asks you to graduate, you graduate If not, you will be detained. On July 26th, 20 18, a young female doctor from Zhejiang University committed suicide by jumping off a building. Because of the tutor's long-term harassment and sexual assault, she got her doctoral certificate in less than three months. Why didn't this woman resist? This is a society ruled by law. Why should the professor be like a landlord and dare not resist him, just like the feudal society in the old society? This woman's mother is also afraid that the exposure of this incident will have a bad influence on her studies and future, so she put up with the evil behavior of her tutor Dai, which has caused the bad consequences now.
Nowadays, the Ministry of Education has promulgated the Code of Conduct for Graduate Tutors, in which the graduation time of graduate students should not be arbitrarily delayed, which is good news for some graduate students who are tortured by tutors. With this regulation, tutors will have codes of conduct and constraints, and students will have confidence not to worry about their graduation, which will make the relationship between teachers and students more pure and students more at ease in academic research. I think the interests of students are largely guaranteed.
