What actually happens at the thesis proposal meeting?
It is customary for the student to provide a 5-10 minute oral summary of the thesis proposal at the beginning of the meeting. Then, committee members will ask you questions about your proposal. Questions could target your understanding of the literature, the design of your study, recruitment of participants, ethical issues, etc. The main purpose of the proposal meeting is to ensure the success of your project, so committee members may suggest that you make changes to improve your study.
