I am thankful to Dr. Mani for organizing this workshop, I learned new things about PhD thesis and its different components. Very helpful.
More time is needed of course
Need further one to one coaching for strengthening the understanding
I found lots of errors in my thesis that still need to be improved after listening to this talk.
Perhaps splitting it into two days would be better
Good to have two days workshop.
can have long session for writing certain chapter and guide students to choose good source of journal/paper and write it down
Thank you prof...we get many new information today regarding the thesis writing.
