Had the flu last week and spent most of the time sleeping when I
wasn't at work. As you remember I went to my adviser to see my past
exams. He only had one of them. I contacted the head of graduate
advising after the meeting and he said that he had given both exams to
my adviser. I sent mail saying that I still wanted to see the other
exam. My adviser refused. This is what he wrote after saying that it
was to long since my other exam. "First, the other test was a quite
long time ago, and second I believe we have reviewed that test before
your second try. Furthermore, I have covered all the major
deficiencies of you answers while reviewing your second test last
Friday. I am afraid I have very little to add. So another review will
not be productive. So as far as reviewing you previous tests is
concerned, I believe we are done." I know that we have never reviewed
any tests. The last time I went to see him he ask "Do you have the
test with you." He very well knew he had to get the test from the
head of advising. So after the message above I sent a mail saying
that I still wanted to see the exam and that my adviser did not have
to be the one showing it to me. At some later time I just passed on
the review. My adviser seemed wounded in the process. I need not put
that much anxiety in his life. That would not be the right thing to
do. So I sent a message to the PLuS program directory to have a call
today to discuss further directions. That is where we stand at this
moment.
