Dear Dr. Clasquin,

I see from your web page that you got your D.Litt et Phil from Unisa. I am writing because I recently began the Unisa D.Litt et Phil program in Classics and was wondering what you thought of the school and your program. So far, I believe that it will be both intensive and enjoyable. What was the extent of your on-campus time and how frequent was your contact with your research supervisor? How long did it take you to complete the program, and was your dissertation/thesis an iterative process - with many rounds? I am not certain at this point whether an oral defense is required. Actually, I would appreciate anything that you can tell me about your program and your interaction with the university. Any hints or suggestions as to how best to navigate the system would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time and help.

Best regards,
