Doctoral Exams has successfully held out first all-remote doctoral defences, and while there have been some hiccups, most of them have been proceeding well.
In response to your questions and concerns, as well as some of the issues that have arisen, we have updated the Virtual Exam Protocol document (attached). Please distribute as appropriate. It’s also linked on our website under “Remote Attendance“.
I just want to thank everyone who has been in touch and who is helping us to facilitate these defences. We really appreciate it!
Best,
Robyn
