No Big Questions
Let’s forget ideas of “big” questions in the viva. There are no small questions either. Instead all questions are important. Each question is an opportunity you’re being given to demonstrate something:
- Something you know.
- Something you did.
- Something you can do.
You can prepare effectively for responding to every question. Read your thesis, check what you need, rehearse. Then show up on the day, ready to listen, breathe and take your time.
Show up with the idea that all questions are important and you can respond to anything that is asked.
