Hear
What’s the probability that you’ll hear one of the following statements said in the viva?
“This is the best thesis I’ve ever read!”
“You should be doing my job!”
“You are one of the foremost minds in the country – nay! The world!”
None of these are impossible utterances in the viva, but they’re pretty unlikely.
What can you definitely hear in the viva? You.
Capable. Knowledgeable. Fully participating in the discussion.
Ready.
