Good problem background and statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thesis is written in a comprehensive and coherent way. No English grammar and etc issues. Note: It is a learning process, the SV said his English was not that good when he started doing his MSc ( previously he did his MSc at the same faculty &amp; with the same SV) But I believe, the student sent his thesis for proof reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Student answered confidently, showed that he knows his work and can defend what he has written. Finally B1 with Merit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note 1: Do not worry too much about the number of pages. Just make sure you know and are confident with what you do\/what you have written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note 2: Of course you should check your University&#8217;s thesis format regarding the number of pages! And make sure the number of pages is within the limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ALL THE BEST!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is originally posted in the Doctorate Support Group, Facebook Group on the 5th May 2015.
