A thirty-minute thought-gathering task for viva prep!
Take a single sheet of paper, divide it into three parts and write the following questions, one in each part:
- Why did you want to do your research?
- How did you do it?
- What was the result of all your work?
Then reflect and capture your thoughts for each of these questions. Why did you want to do this? How did you do it? What was the result?
Thirty minutes of thinking and writing won’t give you every single detail of years of research and the many pages in your thesis.
Thirty minutes of work will give you a good overview of what you work means, how you got it done and why it’s a valuable contribution to your discipline.
