Before the viva:
1. Understand your project paper. Read through once again. (again and again)
2. Read through the papers listed in your references so that you understand the significance of your work in relation to other researcher’s work.
3. Read through the relevant theories related to your thesis.
4. If you spot errors in your project paper summary, prepare an error list and the replacement pages. Give it to the panel before the viva starts. Apologize for the errors and don’t wait for the panels to point out the errors.
5. Write down the questions the panels are likely to ask in each chapter of your project paper. Prepare the answers to these questions. Be prepared for more difficult questions like ‘What is the significance of your findings?’, ‘How did you do your literature search?’ etc.
6. Prepares slides for your presentation. Remember, you have to present your three or four months’ work in 15 to 20 minutes! Therefore, prepare well so that the panels can understand what your problem is, how you solved it and what you have achieved. Do not explain the theories in your presentation. The examination panels do not want to listen to a lecture! Make sure your slides consist of at least: Title page, Objective of research, Past work (literature review), Experimental and analysis procedure, Discussion of results, Conclusion and Further work. Use large font size (at least 20) and do not put too much text on each slide. Choose good contrast colors so that the texts stand out sharply from the background. Do not use fancy background graphics or annoying animations. Use plain background if possible. Use more pictures and diagrams to make your presentation interesting. Do not read from the slides! Prepare about 15 to 20 slides for a 20-minute presentation.
7. Burn your slides on a CD and bring it along, just in case your pen drive or hard disk fails! Otherwise keep it in your e-mail box!
8. Remember to bring your copy of the data/figures and related materials!! Just in case panels asking for it.
9. Practice and rehearsal.
During the viva:
1. Come at least 30 minutes early and prepare your presentation. Test the computer and projector so that everything works fine. Dress properly. Remember, viva is a formal event.
2. Make sure you hand over the marks form to the panels.
3. Be relaxed when you start your presentation. Remember that you know more about your work that the examiners or the panel members. But, the examiners may know more about the technical issues related to your field of research.
4. Understand the question fully before answering. Take your time to answer the questions and restrict your answer to the question. Be frank. If you are not sure of something, don’t defend it very strongly. This will only encourage the panels to dig further to test your knowledge.
