N2  - Annotation; The Ph. D. examination process has been "secret" and "mystifying"--But this book sheds light on the process. The authors provide students, supervisors, and examiners with constructive ways of understanding, preparing for, and undertaking the Ph. D. examination. This book is informed by four years of research on the experiences and practices of academics and candidates across disciplines and from across Britain. Valuable for everyone involved in Ph. D. examinations; Annotation; "This book stands alone in the field owing to the extensive research undertaken by the authors. Over a four year period, surveys and interviews were undertaken with candidates and academics from a wide range of disciplines throughout Britain. Outcomes and ideas from the research have been united to provide the most comprehensive information available." "Real life accounts and case studies are combined with useful advice, tasks and checklists to create an illuminating handbook. This user-friendly book is a resource for anyone involved in the doctoral process."--BOOK JACKET
