  1. Thanks for your replies, especially yours TakeruK - sorry I'm not familiar with how to post on here and reply to someone or tag them in a response. Thanks so much for the thought you put into that. I talked a lot with my mom about this, who has been through the Ph.D. process herself, as well as with my partner and closest friend in the program. What I ended up doing was responding to the email and telling them that if they had specific timelines etc that they want me to meet, to please let me know. I then listed all I have accomplished over the past 5 weeks. I really just don't feel comfortable about timesheets - this is something that just isn't done in my department, as far as I can tell. Honestly at this point I don't trust the professor very much, since they sent me this email out of the blue after an in person meeting where everything seemed fine, and after I had emailed them several times the previous week, checking in on where I should be. This also has put our whole relationship into perspective - I'm starting to see that they've never been very supportive or seemed to care much about my research, haven't given me much feedback as a member of my committee early on, etc... so I'm basically looking ahead now to separating myself and my research as much as I can from this person. It might sound overdramatic but I don't really want to give too many details on here.
  2. It might seem like a silly question but I thought I'd ask. The professor I RA for thinks I am not working enough hours for them, even though they never told me any precise hours, metrics, or goals they wanted me to meet in the first place. I have my own personal timesheets, which I'm willing to turn over to the professor, but I still would like to check that this is legal? I'm on a five year merit-based assistantship. I've never had a professor ask me to do this before as part of my semester assignment. I've only done timesheets over summer or when I'm working jobs outside the five year assistantship. Thanks for your responses!
