MPhil/Phd transfer viva

L

hi,
I need some advice - I'm having my MPhil/Phd transfer viva in 2 days and I know my supervisors are just waiting to attack me. So I've gone through everything and I think the one place they can criticise is that I could have shown more results (run same algorithm with more various limits). I am planning to do this and take the results to the viva. I'm worried what to say if they tell me no results obtained after I submitted the report will be considered. What do I do? Thanks in Advance.

Dont worry too much!! Its a transfer viva (first year) so they will not be expecting loads of data. Usually a first yr viva mostly consists of a lit review with a few result. Am sure if you want to present your extra data they would be happy to listen. A viva is also useful to get some feed back on what you have done and possible suggestions on future work. Its not in their interest to attack you.

Good luck!!

thanks...
my supervisors particularly don't like me because I like to talk to other people in the field and get their opinions, and I think they feel threatened (their expertise is totally different, and they are very junior) so I know
