I'm in my final year, very close to the submission date. I'm worried that my work isnt good enough and i'm running out of time, I read works from the past that others have done and my mine looks/is so simple and trivial in comparison. I read what i've done, I dont think its of PhD standard, it will be too short in comparison to other theses, and to be honest I am panicking about my viva already, because I feel/know my work will get torn apart. :$
:-(
I had an enormous panic a month or so ago. My deadline is in March, but I'm part-time - extremely part-time - so it seemed to be looming hugely. I've now got back into the swing of things though and am feeling more positive.
From the sounds of it your main concern seems to be about the standard of your thesis though, and whether it will pass your viva. What does your supervisor(s) say about the quality? Are they happy with you submitting it as it is? They should be best able to reassure you, if they've read through it.
Also some universities offer viva courses to calm down students and warn them what to expect. Does yours? Might that help at all?
Good luck!
