Student time is a hot time in the life of every person, especially when it comes to writing a diploma. Of course, much depends on how seriously the student is related to this occupation, whether he has sufficient knowledge and skills for its full implementation. During this period, it is important to support not only relatives and friends, but also the scientific leader of the whole project. It is this person who can prompt, guide, and help with advice and deed. Therefore, many students have a problem regarding what to give a scientific leader of a diploma, and how to do it. Let's try to consider possible ways of behavior together.
The moral and ethical side of the question
At this stage, it is worthwhile to find out whether the teacher is receiving gifts. And we are not even talking about the "old guard", whose representatives consider any presents criminal and may not respond adequately to them. Some young teachers are also not quite inclined to accept gifts because of fear of being caught in bribery or afraid of convicting colleagues.
Do not forget about your attitude to the leader. Perhaps this person not only did not make any effort to help you, but in every possible way infringed you or prevented normal preparation. And there is also a completely different option, when a gift to a scientific leader is the best way to express your gratitude, admiration and warm attitude to it.
The financial side of the problem
This is the most urgent question, especially for students. It's not everyone can give presents alone. Therefore, it is worth discussing the option of putting a certain amount of money by all students of the same group or the whole stream. This option will give an opportunity for a relatively small for each money to buy a valuable and beautiful gift, which will be remembered for life.
Age category
Do not lose sight of the age of your teacher. Agree that an older woman will be more pleased with the picture or a luxurious portfolio than a subscription to Thai massage . Similarly, the situation with young male leaders , who should be presented with something from cutting-edge technologies, rather than a smoking pipe with a set of tobacco.
Classification of gifts to the thesis supervisor
It is possible to conditionally divide all the presents into several types, namely:
- Serious . They can be safely attributed: paintings and other works of art, gold, technology, interior items and stuff.
- Personal gifts to the head of the diploma can be: a subscription to a beauty salon, a table reservation in a restaurant, payment for a massage therapist, cosmetics.
- The banal . Such gifts are given either with complete indifference to the teacher, or in the absence of funds or imagination. These include: flowers, wine, cognac, candy and cards.
- Cool . Modern materials and technologies allow creating unusual and original gifts for the memory of the head, who will remain in his memory for a long time. So, for example, you can present a comic or laudatory ode, involve him in a rally on TV,
order a parade of balloons, a composition of sweets or handmade soaps and much more. But you need to be sure that the person will correctly perceive this and do not expect from you a cash gift or its equivalent.
It would seem that it might be easier to choose a gift from the abundance offered by the sellers. In this case, as well as in many other things, one must adhere to delicacy, justify their choice and clearly understand the boundaries of what is allowed. After all, a man who has spent not only time on you, but also a part of himself, can not only please, but also offend the gift presented or his absence.
