It is the student who choose the theme and supervisor. If you have any questions, please contact your Masters Director.

The supervisor guides you and helps you choose the right topic, but does not do the thesis for you.

The supervisor is not the proofreader. You must know what you write.

The responsibility is yours and you should not expect the supervisor to do your job. The supervisor can only teach you how to do the job in the best way.
