You could ask her outright if she can suggest any relevant pieces of material that would help your dissertation or if there is anything specific you should do when laying it out. If you find that she is still unhelpful, is;t there someone you could ask to give you a knew supervisor? Just tell the truth: You intend to work very hard at your masters and you would prefer a supervisor who was helpful in helping you achieve a good grade. Don;t let your education get f*cked up because someone can;t be bothered to do their job. The supervisor doesn;t need to know you want to be changed to someone else. That way, if it ISN'T possible to change she can;t hold the fact against you with a lower grade.

And if it should transpire that she finds out you tried to get a new supervisor and you feel your final grade suffers because of this you can always appeal it.

But ask her outright for help/suggestions first. That way, if she is not forthcoming or less than helpful, she will know you had a justification for wanting a change.

Good luck with it allniceone.gif
