Abstract
Submitting the PhD is a major milestone, requiring much focused effort that provides the candidate with a well-justified sense of achievement. Training on the arc of the PhD identifies expected peaks and troughs but what I failed to receive during my candidacy was information about what happens after examination. The literature on the PhD examination process tends to focus on the style of feedback rather than the experience of receiving it (Kiley, 2009; Mullins & Kylie, 2002; Stracke & Kumar, 2010). My e-poster shares my experience dealing with corrections from examiners. I present a series of tips that position feedback as a formative dialogue with the candidate. I position it as a continuation of the researcher training program of the PhD, rather than summative proclamation from a gatekeeper.
