A Good Time
What would make your viva a good experience?
- Do you need your examiners to praise you?
- Do you want the viva to be short?
- Do you need to be able to talk about certain parts of your research?
- Do you want to be asked about only certain topics?
None of the above are irrational. Many of them might be beyond your control though.
Your viva can be a good experience. Focus on being prepared, not on the aspects that you can’t know or can’t control.
