Tall Chai Latte Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 I'm so eager to share with you all on grad cafe! Dal PhDer, MoJingly and Sigaba 3
Sigaba Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 TCL-- Enjoy the moment and take satisfaction in your accomplishment!
Tall Chai Latte Posted May 9, 2012 Author Posted May 9, 2012 OMG today was so embarrassing. I knew that my writeup had a big flaw going in, and I knew my committee would keep asking me questions. And they did, I just stood there and can't even compose a coherent sentence. My PI was there watching the whole thing, but she said I hit at least half of the questions, so my performance has exceeded her expectation. At least it's over, I can finally relax!
MoleMocha Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Were they very harsh? You said your PI was pleased - that's good!!
Tall Chai Latte Posted May 10, 2012 Author Posted May 10, 2012 Were they very harsh? You said your PI was pleased - that's good!! They weren't harsh, but they were pushing for my limit for sure. I patched up most of the holes found in the writeup during the actual talk, so some committee members lost some questions to ask. And when they asked about alternative hypothesis and other potential scenarios, I pulled up my backup slides and explained what the answer could be. The committee was impressed, whew!
UnlikelyGrad Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 YEAH!! My advice: go out and have a super-duper ice-cream sundae or whatever your favorite treat is.
Dal PhDer Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Grats! Sounds like you kick that prelim in the wooha!
