Some professors&nbsp;may establish strict deadlines for the submission of work, while others may have more flexible policies. Most professors try to respond to essays or chapters within a month or two, but it is important to discuss those expectations up front. After discussing them, students should confirm those expectations in writing with a follow-up email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain times of the semester are especially busy and during those times it may take longer for a professor to respond with feedback. When circumstances make it impossible for a professor to return work within the agreed-upon timeframe, they should communicate a revised estimate to the student as promptly as possible. Similarly, when a student misses a deadline, the student should contact the professor as soon as possible to agree on a new timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A full draft of a dissertation can take considerable time to read, so students should not expect that the normal turnaround time applies. Well in advance of submitting a full dissertation draft, students should talk with their advisors about the timeline for feedback and revisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Graduate students at the dissertation stage should discuss expectations for submitting and receiving feedback on their work with their advisors and committee members.
