Useful Words

Daily Post

What word do you use as a model or metaphor for the viva?

Interrogation, examination, discussion, defence, trial, ordeal, conversation, unpredictable, unknown, chat…

These aren’t neutral. Whatever words you use steer how you prepare for and approach the viva.

You get to pick what helps you most though.

Pick carefully.
