The viva went well, the examiners seeming to like my work and asking questions that I could answer, despite being tongue tied with nerves.
The result is PhD subject to minor corrections.
The viva lasted around two hours, then a break for their discussions before they called me in for the verdict.
Amendments seem to be a couple of sentences in the introduction explaining why I didn’t research it another way, some cross references, and an example in the methodology of how I used the coding template. Nothing complicated.
This cartoon depicts the dilemma I have had, and now what shall I do with myself?
