First Year Report & Viva - Feedback Form
...
10. Viva feedback
Was the candidate able to explain the research problem and proposed contribution?
Was the verbal presentation of adequate?
Did the candidate understand questions put to him?
Was the candidate able to explain and defend his work to date and research plans?
11. Summary
Should the candidate pass the 1st-Year viva?
If yes, do you have any advice or comments for the candidate that might help with his/her future research?
If not – what course of action do you propose?
Is the supervision arrangement working? If not, what is needed?
Well, I think that if the relationship between student and supervisor doesn't work, this should be addressed before the interview. There is always a Head of PGs study, or if this role is covered by your supervisor, the Head of School to talk to. This is what I did at least. I didn't change supervisor, but things have improved greatly since then. Hiding under the sand is not going to sort out the situation. You could perhaps be a bit more specific and tell us what is your problem with him/her?
