He always thinks he is right, specially when we talk together, sometimes I ask a question and he just became super angry and made me feel dumb.
That's why I try to minimize my interactions and meetings with him, I usually polish his raw ideas and when we set a meeting he says all my polishings are completely wrong.
Like today, he blamed me an entire hour because I am a grad student yet I don't know the difference between PSD kernel and PSD matrix. Though I am sure that I was right, he insisted on his words and I just have to give up every time, and after sometime, usually another grad student or Postdoc mention exactly the same point and he admit that.
Sometimes I think maybe I approach him in a wrong way but I'm sure this is not the case, I never tell him "YOU ARE WRONG IN ..." (though he is actually wrong), I just say something like "I didn't understand, could you please explain ..." hoping that he recognize his mistake, however, he starts insisting on that.
Honestly how can I just be clear to him and finish my MSc? I don't want to have any tension with him.
Like look at this which happened today: Prove matrix constructed based on gaussian RBF is PSD
I used to thought that maybe I am the problem not him, but I hear the same stories from the students of his courses, they always say he made them feel stupid when they ask questions. One time he received a negative review from one of his class students, he just came to me and started justifying that the student wrote the negative review because she wanted to take a revenge of him and it was personal attack and prejudice.
I'm about to defend my Msc in next two semesters, I don't want to quit, but I also don't know how to manage tension with him.
