Written in clear, straight-forward language, Examining Doctoral Work considers how the practice of doctoral examination can be improved to ensure that both examiners and students can make the most of the assessment process.
This book analyses both good and bad practice to promote fair, thorough and productive examination.

Key points covered include:

- How examiners are chosen
- Where to begin when reading a thesis
- Managing your time as an examiner
- What makes a ‘good’ doctoral thesis?
- How to prepare for the viva
- How to develop a preliminary report
- The role of the supervisor before, during and after the viva
- Examiners’ roles and responsibilities
- Working through agreements and disagreements
- Feeding back both orally and in writing.
