Hi! Everyone, thanks for your replies. I think it's a very steep price. I'm even more miffed that I paid for thesis supervision as part of my course fees and that I'm not getting it, as I have to keep chasing the college supervisor for days to get a reply and when he does reply, he promises 4/5 times to get back to me, before he does actually get back to me.
John, becuase of the way my supervisor is,
sounds like a standard hourly rate for a part time lecturer.
OP says in her other thread on this:

that the supervisor IS the Head of the Dept. There must be someone above?
In their dreams. Firefly is right; OP should complain in writing to the supervisor first (who will not be involved in the assessment of their dissertation), and then to the Head of School/Department if they are dissatisfied with the response.

I suggest that you consider this further: it might be taken as a provocation. Some people in academic life have very odd sensibilities. It might be more diplomatic to say simply that you solicited some assistance from a person with expertise in the field, and avoid mentioning that it is a financial relationship.... I'm just going to let him know that because I realise he is so busy and has a huge workload, I have paid someone else to supervise the last of my thesis - and I hope he doesn't mind!!!
I can. I have seen it happen. That's why I suggested that a neglectful supervisor can be converted into a strong defender of your work; I have seen that happen, too.... I just can't believe anyone could be so unprofessional ...
I can't make a complaint either - it's a very small circle of people - an he is also acting as my accademic reference for jobs that come up.
