Finding Questions
Where did your research questions come from?
How did they develop over time?
How did your reading change the questions you asked during your PhD?
Where will your examiners’ questions come from?
What do you expect you will be asked? Why?
What do you hope not to talk about? Why?
Reflecting and creating summaries helps you think ahead for your viva. Rehearsing helps you to find words in the moment and be ready for the conversations that you’ll have at the viva.
Explore how you found your research questions in the past and also consider the questions that could be coming your way in the future.
