Quote From chickpea:
Another fear I have is that my supervisors' feedback is out of line with the examiners' opinions, and that what my supervisors think is a finished thesis is judged to be anything but! My supervisors are relentlessly positive and enthusiastic, which is lovely, but I keep thinking all it takes is a nitpicky examiner and I'll come unstuck!
This is probably my greatest fear. Supervisors think it's close to perfect, and examiners think it's rubbish. Sigh.
