It is 7:37 pm and I am glad to be going home after a highly productive day. I focused on three things. First, I created a 10 slide deck that I can present at my VIVA. The deck provides an overview of my background, both as a researcher and industry practitioner, and a high level summary of the research study. My aim is to present it at the beginning of my VIVA which, based on what I have reviewed, is fairly standard practice. Second, I sent a progress update email to my supervisors. Third, I reviewed the Introduction Chapter of my thesis and wrote a ½ page summary of what the chapter is about.
I am tired and heading home now -yeah! I am traveling for work next week, so I am going to set a reasonable target for the week which will be to simply review and summarize my Conclusion Chapter because it is fairly short in length. Next Saturday, I will tackle Chapter 2 and focus on answering more of the “VIVA questions” that I have summarized from various sources.
