The EE Guide recommends that in the viva voce, students &#8220;&#8230;can show what they have learned about the topic, the research process followed, their own learning, as well as outlining new questions they have uncovered. Most importantly&#8230;during the viva voce the RRS (researcher&#8217;s reflection space) may help to highlight the personal significance of the work to the student and ultimate contribute to the supervisor&#8217;s report.&#8221; (pg. 55).\u00a0While the RRS is &#8220;strongly recommended,&#8221; it&#8217;s not mandatory. Students can discuss the personal significance of their work in the viva voce without referring to the RRS.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Remember that s<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tudents are not to change their EE after the viva voce.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Personally, I really enjoy the viva voce process as I like hearing the students talk about these topics they&#8217;ve become experts in.
