+alannah fitzgerald You are so kind, Alannah. And I am so lucky. I have - and have had - the best PhD students any supervisor could hope for. I have learnt so much from every single candidate. And they go on to create wonders for the planet. I am so proud of them. But anything you need - I am one message away :) Txxx

+Office of Graduate Research Flinders University Thanks again, Tara! BTW, we've been building a PhD abstracts corpus from theses managed by the British Library. Here's a keyword search for the terms "original + contribution" in the Arts and Humanities sub-section of the corpus - most notably, only 52 abstracts contain this word pattern... flax.nzdl.org/greenstone3/flax?a=g&sa=FlaxWordQuery&rt=r&c=PAAH&if=&s1.fqf=ZZ&s1.level=sentences&s1.groupBy=0&s1.fqk=%2C&s1.fqv=&s=FlaxWordQuery&s1.query=original+contribution

Hello Professor, Great vlog; I also wanted to present what the Flinders 'information for examiners of RHD Thesis' states: Examiners of a thesis submitted for the degree of PhD should satisfy themselves that the student has demonstrated: a. evidence of an original investigation or testing of ideas; b. competence in independent research or experimentation; c. a thorough understanding of the appropriate techniques in the field demonstrated both by their application and a thorough review of the literature; d. critical use of source material, experimental results (where appropriate) and published works; e. appreciation of the relationship of the special theme to the wider field of knowledge; f. capacity to present well written work; g. a higher degree of independence of thought and approach; and h. a significant original contribution to knowledge in the thesis

+SANDEEP REDDY Fantastic Sandeep - it is so important that students, supervisors and examiners (!!!) read these regs. And you can see the disciplinary specificity there - but you can see how the corrections emerge - how they are mapped over those instructions. Well done Sandeep! Hope everything is great with you!

Thanks Tara. Amazing explanation of the opaque area of thesis corrections. I wish I had seen this during my submission process. But that was many years before KZread even existed! Perhaps you could devote an episode to how one can maintain a good publication rate after submission, when people typically take on new areas of research when transitioning into junior academic roles.

Hi Tara Another brilliant and thought provoking vlog delivered with passion and aplomb. I am from Barbados and I have recently submitted my thesis for my DBA (Doctorate in Business Administration). While going through my thesis in preparation for my viva, I realised that there were some formatting issues with the appendix including some that were inadvertently omitted. What should I do when I face my examiners? I was thinking about informing my examiners about the omissions and let them know that I have corrected my errors. Appreciate your thoughts and those of your viewers.

I JUST finished defending my dissertation. After the committee deliberated, my advisor brought me back into the room and said, "It's a pass with major corrections." I went into this defense thinking it was a simple pass or fail. Had no idea there were "bands of examination". So, I proceeded to cry like a blubbering fool afterwards, out of frustration that so many corrections needed to be done. I thought it was a simple pass or fail. Now I know otherwise and I feel a hair better about myself...Still got a ways to go though! Jesus, take the wheel!

I travel over an hour and a half to meet her once a week and she trys to get out of it or she does a rushed meeting for 30mins. My corrections take ages to come back and don't make any sense. I feel Abit better now I have that off my chest ! Still super angry 😡
