One of the things
that I learned (albeit a bit later in my PhD journey) about thesis writing, was
that of knowing how Examiners read and assess theses. The Mullins and Kiley’s
papers definitely helped (and still helping) me in wading through the assessment
process. More recent papers (see further below) might also provide a broader view on
this matter. I hope these resources will help you too.
