The Last Review
What will you look for when it’s the last time to look over your thesis before your viva?
- The sections and sentences you’ve highlighted?
- The red pen that shows the typos and changes you want to make?
- The paragraphs that make you feel proud of what you’ve done?
- The margins of notes you think you need?
- Or the final pages that bring your research to a conclusion?
Or something else entirely? You have to decide where you need to give your attention. It’s probably best to steer towards the good stuff rather than remind yourself of typos. They’re there, you’ve acknowledged them, you know what you need to do.
Save your attention for what really matters.
