No Fooling Around

Daily Post

No tricks, no pranks, no double-meanings and no jokes today!

You’ve come as far as you have on your PhD journey because you kept doing the work. You were good at what you did and you became better. Whatever your field you learned and explored and produced.

You get to submission by being good enough. You get to and through your viva by being good enough.

You might need to prepare a little and you might need to do something to build up your confidence, but don’t be deceived: you must be good enough if you have got this far.

And if you’ve got this far, keep going!

Out Of Ideas!

Daily Post

I’m so sorry, but I sat down to write and I have nothing left to say.

Almost six years. That’s how long it took me to write everything that I could say about the viva.

It was a good run, I suppose.

 

Still, there are almost six years of daily posts to read on the site. You can use the random post link if you want to read something at random, or perhaps use a tag to find support on all sorts of topics like viva prep, examiners and viva confidence.

You could even take a look at the anthology I published last year if you want a really considered take on the viva, what to expect and what to do. It’s the best of five years of writing.

 

Who knows if I’ll ever publish anything again after today, April 1st 2023, but on the off chance that this is just a strange day where I feel a little foolish, do subscribe if you haven’t already! 😉
