Offering Why
At the root of a lot of viva questions and discussions is a why.
Why did you do this? Why does it matter? Why is it helpful?
Why this and not that? Why now? Why did you choose X over Y?
It could be explicit or quiet, it could be a why you have thought about for years or a why you are finding for the first time.
As you get ready for your viva, consider all the whys you know in your preparations. Consider what happens as you rehearse and offer whys in your mock viva and other spoken preparations.
What can you do to help yourself be more ready to talk about the whys?
