Doctoral Dissent

It's what one would expect of a Scarborough. Son M received decisions back from his three doctoral examiners. The first said accept. The second said revise. The third said reject -- or rather, re-register and re-submit. It's a split, of the most perfect kind. M has not yet seen the reasons for this in detail -- but a supervisor says not to worry. One simply follows a process recommended by the doctoral degrees board. OBSERVATION: Someone said that I, by way of contrast, sailed through my Master's degrees. On the surface of it, yes. In fact my degrees went through deep waters. My own impression of M's doctorate is that it is excellent.
