Viva Voce – 10 slides dan 33 soalan
Tadi dtg seorang PG utk cuba VIVA dgn aku.. akhirnya jenuh aku plak yg bagi jawapan.. adoi.
Viva adalah satu forum utk anda menunjukkan penguasaan anda secara verbal dalam masa 20 - 30 minit. Ketahuilah bahawa examiners telahpun membaca dan menyediakan laporan tesis anda, maka mereka sekadar inginkan penjelasan lanjut. Jadi tak perlu nak jelaskan secara detail masa presentation.
Aku cadangkan anda sediakan 10 slides. Tolong jgn copy-n-paste dari tesis bulat2. Jika dlm competition 3-minute thesis calon PhD boleh jelaskn kajian mereka dlm 3 minit diiringi 1 slide sj... takkan x boleh jelaskn dlm 20 - 30 minit dgn 10 slides !!!
Berikut slide yang aku cadangkan:
- Thesis Statement @ What is the thesis about ? (1)
- Objective / RQ/ Hypotheses (1)
- LR (1)
- Framework (1)
- Method (1)
- Data Collection (1)
- Data Presentation (1)
- Main Findings (2)
- Conclusion / Implication (1 )
Tak perlu humble spt berkata “Kajian ini masih jauh dari perfect bla.. bla…” atau “Metodologi kajian ini banyak kelemahan…” biarlah examiners yang komen.
Kalau soalan yang ditanya tak terjangkau... be honest....jgn klentong plak... better jawab "Tqvm for the question but honestly I cant answer the question coz its beyond the scope of my study / I haven't come across the answer.... but I will find it later"
