The Memorisation Memorandum

Daily Post

You don’t need to memorise your thesis, you’re not expected to memorise your research, and most viva candidates couldn’t do that even if they wanted to.

Your examiners expect you to do the work, be familiar with the literature you’ve cited and be a capable researcher. That’s enough.
