Viva preparation advice

Six points of advice from (Dr) Sarah Junaid passed on (summarised) to me by Soumaya:

1. Read up throughly all the papers written by examiners that are relavant to your thesis;
2. Read up thoroughly the 5-6 papers that you quote most, and if you have time the other papers that are important but do not read them so thoroughly;
3. Read up on the basics;
4. Read up on the difficult concepts - make a plan of all the concepts that you need to know about;
5. Prepare a 10 min intro about why your research is important, what is the big picture;
6. Put notes in your thesis where you know there are issues so that you IF they bring it up you can show them that you are aware about them.
