<p class="MsoNormal">FYI The attached V1.0 preliminary schedule has been sent to students. They have been told to contact and discuss with the Chair of their examination committee if there are any problems with their viva slot. If so, if everyone involved could
come to an mutually agreeable solution, just let me know and I’ll update the schedule. Likewise if anything comes up between the examiners.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Apologies for the rapid succession of Ph450 Viva Schedule drafts. Due to the 4<sup>th</sup> May clashing with a major event involving several people, I’ve had to move all those to the 5<sup>th</sup> May. I’ve also incorporated additional
notifications of clashes and corrected some double bookings.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope to release V1.0 to students end of today. As there may be additional constraints coming to light after this has been done, I will assume that further changes will be made to accommodate these, though this may occur following discussion
amongst those directly involved in the individual vivas concerned.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please find attached a draft schedule for the PH450 Project Vivas. They have been scheduled to be at least a few days after the student’s last exam. Please let me know if you absolutely cannot make the date of a scheduled viva and I shall
try to reschedule it. Please also let me know if I double booked anyone.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, as there are a large number of vivas and people to co-ordinate, it is fine for students and the examination committee members to make alternative arrangements for times and dates without having to go through me at a later stage
should a clash arise. It would be good if vivas be completed by the 17<sup>th</sup> May 2021 to allow time for final collation of marks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I shall send out more detailed instructions about the vivas at a later date.<o:p></o:p></p>
