Hi all,
2 years into part-time phd on sociological research and have my transition viva on monday.
I had to provide a 'final' chapter of 8k words, timeline and 4 page report on progress of the research. I have also to do a presentation and I'm just wondering on what to expect and if theres any tips ? I pretty mch have the structure of where i want to go with it decided and I have projected chapter headings and outlines. Im just worried incase they ask me specifics of the chapter I submitted or would this be just more of an example of my academic writing standard?
spending a few hours tomorrow, friday and all day sat on the preparation.
cheers
