Ten Words
A quick bit of viva prep.
Write a few sentences on each of the following ten words. Don’t take too long, don’t overthink things, just reflect a little and then write a little:
- Thesis
- Examiners
- Methods
- Contribution
- Confidence
- Expectations
- Feelings
- Problems
- Success
- Questions
Put all of your sentences to one side for a few days, then come back and read them. Whatever you’ve written tells you something about how you’re approaching your viva.
What does it all mean and what do you now need to do?
