My viva voce date is already set and I have 2 weeks to prepare now. I am not feeling the nerves yet as I rightly should but I am not waiting either. This is my last hurdle, I gotta persevere and keep my focus. AAGBS was kind enough providing support and tips on preparing and on what to expect for viva voce; which can be found here from this link: Twenty (20) Tips for Viva Voce
My presentation slides are far from ready, and I have not practised my presentations yet. That is okay, it is going to change within a few days from now. Writing the list to set my mental game up and ready for preparation.
What I needed to do next are:
- Produce a complete presentation draft for supervisors review and submit tomorrow
- Make corrections if recommended
- Re-read my thesis and take note of loopholes
- Re-read and organise my references for quick check when inquired
- Print my thesis copy for notes taking
- Practice 15-20 minutes presentation on my research
So today’s work is straightforward, which is to improve my presentation slides. This is going to be a drag, but I got this!
