but!! .....I'm graduated!! YAY!!
Congratulations Rob!!
Hmmm, I only knew I graduated a few weeks after my defence. How do you know so soon?
well.. I dont know when will rob appear around here to reply

but in my case i found out like 15 mins after I did the defense cuz the jury deliberate for a period of 15 to 20 mins, then they tell you approved or not, from there I have to wait to give in thesis and such to know the approved grade, on my case it was mention of honor so its kind of obvious

thats how I knew right away (on my case), plus I had my whole semester approved so whats left? nothing! I graduated!

I believe in Rob's case is sort of like the same, talking with him I realized we're in a very similar situation, with the fact he had a real project and I had somer of an internship a semeter previously than thesis' semester, but anyhow, the thing is that you get to know after you get an appreciation on the matter
