When you plan your viva prep, look for things that could slow your progress.
- Creating summaries might not be rewarding unless you’ve read your thesis first.
- Anticipating examiner questions won’t be possible until after you’ve learned about their research.
- Building a set of expectations can only come after you’ve asked others about their viva experiences.
As you plan your prep consider what will help later work. You can choose where you direct your thoughts and efforts. Choose carefully so that you don’t have to over-invest your time. Plan clearly so that you don’t have to do more than is necessary.
