You tell your thesis advisor they suck at their job.
You didn't get any instructions before hand? Is this in higher education or earlier?
You must have had a class on how to do research, how to cite a paper, how to look for books in a library, etc. No?
I am not trying to come of as condescendent at all, it truly baffles me because I had such classes starting in middle school all the way up to graduate school and they were mandatory. Isn't that the standard in higher education?
