Most likely outcome- Major corrections

I passed with minor corrections!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't even believe it!! I'm still in shock!!
It helped that at least 1 of my examiners didn't read it - but I'm not complaining!!!! It just shows that everyone has a different opinion and sometimes people can't see all the flaws you can! I'm so happy!!!!!!!!!

ps the viva was so much better (and totally different) than what I had expected!:-):-)

Hi Pineapple - It seems we are experiencing the same thing but the opposite way round. I get nothing but positive feedback from my supervisor (if anything). She never ever tells me how to improve my work. I handed in my first draft for the internal reader and for the first time got negative feedback to the extent he told me I would get major corrections. I set up a meeting with him to try and find out how to improve but was given no help whatsoever. My supervisor still thinks everything will be fine (despite her last student getting major corrections!).

Due to my funding deadline I have had to submit - and I am really unhappy with my work. I will be very very surprised if I am not given major corrections.

I was interested in the reply about advice on the viva by Sre292. I have mine on Tuesday... gulp! I had a 'mock' viva yesterday - although my supervisor's idea of a mock was actually 4 questions that lasted about 15 mins. The questions were useful to consider but this was not really a mock. Yet, my supervisor still things everything will be fine.

I have read around about viva tips and am currently preparing question responses to any possible question I can think of.
Does anyone have any additional advice to offer me and Pineapple?

Thanks!
