    Preparing for Viva Voce.

    1. it's basically an interview type situation where you discuss your progress. it should be relatively informal and nothing to stress about 2. i think the best preparation for the vive voce is to look like you've made significant progress or have direction for your major work. you want to know...

    Major works

    basically the issues with that (plagarism etc. since the projects are marked by schools, not the BOS and thus it would be easy to plagarise and never be caught) are what prevents us posting up major works.
