“the literature ,,raises a number of issues,,,many of them are also left open, without
being resolved”
“this chapter is, however, way too long and almost lacking in analysis. There is simply a
regurgitation of very long quotes from the interviews”
“I am reasonably happy that the candidate understands the topic, but he does not
marshal his arguments well”
“this is sheer waffle. This is the first time I have seen a researcher grand-standing in
their own thesis. This section should be deleted”
“one odd statement “none of the managers in this study are ageist or hold prejudices
against older people”. How does the candidate know this?”
“The chapter is somewhat heavy with data and there might have been some more
discussion and analysis of the data”
“The study is missing a research methodology chapter”
“ p 57 the research questions start appearing. They are buried in the chapter and should
be more evident”
