.  ,[object Object],[object Object],http://makeadiff.in/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/friendsCartoon.jpg
BEFORE THE DEFENSE…
Plan out your presentation as a team.  Thoroughly discuss the sequence of the presentation so that it will run smoothly.
Prepare your presentation ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Do your homework.  Master the part you will be presenting.  http://s3.images.com/huge.60.304160.JPG
Try to come up with possible questions from the audience. Then answer those questions.
ON THE DAY OF THE DEFENSE…
Make sure you brought everything with you.  It is stressful to find out that you left something behind when you are already about to present.  Make sure all the parts of the thesis proposal are in place (i.e., Appendices, References)
ON YOUR PERSON Dress well! ,[object Object],[object Object]
Put on a name tag.  ANNIE
Be on time! Be sure you are ready to start on time. Do not let your panel wait for you.
Remember to pray. Prepare well but don’t forget that there are many things that are beyond your control.
Be confident but not arrogant. http://www.mellowmonk.com/uploaded_images/confidence-784626.jpg
Be animated!  Try to move and not stay rooted to one spot.  Project your voice well or else use a microphone.
Don’t make the audience feel they are “stuck” Don’t lull them to dream away
Avoid verbal tics. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Don’t be defensive.
Don’t go beyond 30 minutes in your presentation.  Remember, your panel has already read your thesis proposal.  The most essential parts of your presentation are your  conceptual framework and method of your study.
Record the comments and suggestions of the panelists. Ask a classmate to video tape the presentation for you. Ask another one to take down notes for you.   http://dir.coolclips.com/Entertainment/Drama/Home_Video/Video_Cameras/taking_a_video_-_cartoon_peop2497.html
Show your appreciation for the help of your panelists by thanking them after the defense and giving them a simple snack.
AFTER THE DEFENSE…
Transcribe the comments and suggestions and give a printed summary to your thesis coordinator. Revise your  proposal  accordingly.
