I think it's healthy that you can spot where improvements can be made. It is also common to be able spot issues more easily when you return to a piece of writing (or other creation) after a while - hence the term "desk time". Thankfully, the thesis doesn't have to be perfect, otherwise none of us would pass!
Well done!
It doesn't sound so bad, given all the positives you've mentioned. Nowhere's perfect, after all!
My wife and I loved it! I knew Kyle Ren was going to kill his father. Sure, there's plenty of storylines hanging, but it just increases the anticipation...
My wife thinks Rey is Luke S's daughter.
Well done! No, you can't use your title until the conferral of the award is confirmed by Senate.
Ditto - hope it went well!
"All the hard work you put into your thesis can be undermined by a single typo."
Not true at all! It would be a very unsuitable examiner that would be influenced by a single typo.
Considering how well you did on your PhD plus having a book contract, that is quite puzzling. Maybe the assistance of a senior colleague in assessing your CV and applications would be helpful.
You can make much bigger mistakes than that and be OK, believe me! Mere typos etc not something you'll be failed for.
Fine for a pilot (which still requires ethical approval), but as per other comments not for main study. Convenience sample not appropriate for quality research.
To add my haporthworth, as others have stated the fact someone has managed to get a professorial position recently without a PhD certainly doesn't mean that you can plan a career in academia on that basis.
Superb opportunity if you can get it!
I was likewise recommended to list errors but not volunteer them - perfectly OK to correct them in final version without prompting.
Examiners do need to be chosen carefully, that's for sure. Some people are just difficult. My external examiner was the main UK guy in my field, but my citations of his work were favourable.
Well exactly - if their work's relevant, then clearly it would be an even more obvious omission. If it's not, then it would look quite odd.
