[ Problem Identification ]

myth….

1. Don't go with the mind set that, once i register for PhD, I will get the degree

2. It is just that the quality and standard PhD work one should do,

is just spoken orally and in practice, none such theory exist

3. Any type of work or topic or area one does, they can undertake research work.

Anything will work. This is surely not true

4. Everyone is registered for a PhD work, hence I will also get registered for PhD work

5. Most of the work is cut-paste-repast and again cut. Don't do PhD for the heck of doing,

because everyone ran the horse, hence I also ran the horse

the RECHECK

Does the thesis have a well-structured layout?

Is the title of each chapter, section, sub-section clear and informative?

Is it clear what the thesis’ central focus is?

Are figures and tables clear and informative? Do they stand alone or do you need to

read the text to understand what they are about?

Are all references properly formatted so that you would be able to trace each?
