am so ashamed of my lit review, the thought of handing it in and having to discuss it infront of my two supervisors makes me sick. how are you guys coping with this sessions. the first one was really bad, it was like a getting shot session. i was barely surviving the questions, just blarting my way thro it. i sometimes felt that i was really blowing it, but i was glad i said something. when i left the room, i couldn't walk home. went to a nearby room and sat for two hours wondering what i had let myself in for.

I reckon change your supervisors if they make you feel like that! They shouldnt be intimidating you. Sounds horrible

Well maybe I'm just very lucky with my supervisors (or very unlucky if they're meant to make you feel like shit)?!

hey guys, thanks for your thoughts. How did anyone deal with this. changing them is no option and by the way, i don't hate them. i just hate their style :). am ready to keep up. how? is what i don't know.

I'm still trying to do mine - but hadn't really thought about people reading and tearing it apart! Getting increasing piles of papers but can't seem to get very far with writing! :)

The thought of two supervisors in the same room is very, very scary! So much expectation that it petrifies me! Any thoughts on how to handle this?

Totally understandable that you are concerned. Relationship with supervisor is so important. Why not be more assertive and voice your opinions more. Obviously only a suggestion as I am new to the game also. i feel that the roasting you get from your supervisor is 1 to check that you know what you are doing (or along the right tracks) and 2 that you can defend your decisions based on sound evidence from literature. all the best
