How much is expected at transfer viva?

B

My transfer viva has been arranged for friday 17th of November (after submitting the report over two months ago!!!!). from your experience, what is expected from you with the report and viva? I have found an area that I would like to investigate because it is a controversial topic. I am hoping to take a different approach (which is where the originality will come in) but I have not pinned down the methods that will be used. I have a rough idea of what tests I want to use, is this enough?

I don't have to do a viva, I had to do a seminar which I did a while ago. My report is amazingly long though and need to redo a chunk of it. What format have you done yours in? Mine is chapters, theoretically ones that I can put straight into the thesis...

There was a list of requirements I had to have, like clear aims, conclusions on what you will do next etc.

GMAndy - good lord! What subject do you do?

H- My report has been divided into three sections- 1, Lit review of topic 2, Conceptual framework 3, Methodology.
Lit Rev is great. Conceptual framework is ok, could be better. Methodology is somewhat disjointed and not particularly specific (which is what Im worries about).

I will let you guys know how it went. Cheers
