* What is involved in examining a research-based higher degree? * What are the roles of the internal and external examiners?* What are the hidden agendas of higher degree examining?* What are the essential ingredients of a `good' viva?This handbook offers a revealing insight into the written - and unwritten - rules and regulations of higher degree examination in the United Kingdom today.

How to Examine a Thesis covers important issues such as:* The power-relations between the two (or more) examiners* Hidden agendas and foul play* Examples of guidelines and regulations across different institutions* Advice on MPhil as well as doctoral examinationsThis book is essential reading for all higher degree examiners but is also of importance to those supervising, and studying for, higher degrees.

Research degree examiners, supervisors and students throughout the world will find the book of considerable interest. |
