@dr.pfarelo.matsila: As a thesis examiner, I don't start by reading Chapter 1. First impressions matter in academic writing too. These small details won't determine your result on their own, but they often signal how carefully the thesis has been prepared. Want Part 2? I'll share the first chapter mistakes that immediately stand out to examiners. #postgrad #phd #research #mentorship #studentlife
The use of the word hallucinating in this context😂😂

My supervisors keep insisting I add more literature and it has to be recent, which I get. So I end up trying to extrapolate from similar studies but even then, my topic is extremely under explored. Even AI couldn’t track down more studies for me 😭 do you guys actually check that the literature actually is minimal? Because my God, I truly found a gap in literature

Zwa Hallucinations ha dzi reference 😭😭 vho dokotela
Doc, how do you check for AI hallucinations and fake references? Do you use the same AI to check it's own hallucinations, or do you verify each source manually? It seems like a lot of work.

What if it's an under researched topic and that's the gap, and some of the literature is from the 80s and 90s?

Thanks Dr 🎓. I am just wondering which one should take preference - the examiner's preference or the university's guidelines?

Shouldn't references be a balanced mix of older literature (90's) and more recent studies? That's what we were taught in my hons😔😔

ver_onicca :
And then what happens when you have studies that are rarely done, I mean with little to no literature available on the topic

Gonondo :
Another one is when authors use 1 paper as their main reference, now the whole paper is busy referencing one paper and you wonder if they are reproducing that study with new data or what and they say novel 😂? I sometimes think I’m reviewer no 2 😬.
