You probably have a voice-recording app on your phone. Why not put it to good use to help your viva prep?
- Record your mock viva. Listen back and think about your responses and how you frame them. What else could you say?
- Have coffee with friends. Reflect on the questions and topics that come up. How do they match your expectations?
- Explore how you talk about your contribution. Record different ways of sharing this. How can you best communicate your research?
- Record a mini-viva! Have a mini-viva by yourself or with a friend asking the questions. Listen afterwards. How did you do?
Doing something helps. Reflecting afterwards helps you even more.
