Thank u

[@pipsqueaky27148]

You got me bro

[@arianeyapi2948]

Mine is in an hour and It is fucking now that I discovered this video 😭😭

[@whitehydrangea]

I have a strategy to deal with some accusatorial questions that can't be answered because they touch your thesis's theme very vaguely or approach it incorrectly. You can just politely point out that it wasn't your sphere of research, so you didn't approach that theme as much as you could. And of course, thank them for their question and promise to research it later (even if you'll never do that). That always worked for me, and professors were quite pleased with that. Thank you so much for this video! That was really helpful to see the week before my own thesis defense!

[@RanywayzRandom]

👍🏼 Thanks for sharing your approach! 😋

[@VeroSD]

This video, along with your 10 tips for success and 10 mistakes to avoid, have been absolutely fantastic as I prepare to defend in 2weeks. I'm having crazy pre-defense jitters, and I didn't know who to turn to for help (fairly unresponsive supervisor makes me feel like a graduate orphan). I'm so incredibly thankful for informative, and supportive videos like these. THANK YOU for taking the time to create these resources!

[@bh5074]

OOooffff you are not alone. I am a graduate orphan too. It is extremely difficult to prepare with lack of guidance.

[@VeroSD]

@@bh5074 I'm so sorry to hear that. It's a shame you don't have the support system that you deserve. Best of luck to you! I ended up acing my defense, and honestly I think it's partly from good resources like these that I was able to have a good grasp of what to expect and be prepared. Hopefully it goes smoothly for you as well! You got this!

[@RanywayzRandom]

Thanks for the kind words; and you are most welcome.

[@kikitheo8211]

Your videos are so helpful! Thank you for that. In less than a week i have me phd defense! Please allow me a question, i found interesting and tricky the question about the problematic issue in a study. How could a candidate answer in such a question?

[@RanywayzRandom]

Thanks! Well, that depends. It is bit of a subjective, judgement call in terms of how one might respond. Personally, if it is a legitimate criticism, I might admit to the potential weakness or issue; and that this would be taken into account in my future research; if it feels right, I might also briefly highlight the practical constraints or circumstances that led to this weakness or issue. Just be calm, be professional, don't be provoked. Wish you success next week. 👍🏼

[@kikitheo8211]

I thought it too that being honest is the best choice. Thank you so much for your response and your kind words!!!🙏🙏

[@ireneyuson8]

Speaking English fluently during defense is a big challenge to me .... I might be good... When speaking my language... But it is discouraged

[@Shanbify]

What kind of pause are we “allowed” during a defense? Especially concerning the accusatory questions.

[@animelover7506]

I'm freaking out because I'm doing my defense tomorrow!

[@RanywayzRandom]

Hope it went well! 👍🏼

[@okekemirabel2165]

So scared,

[@Shoegazings]

I have the problem that my supervisor is very good at the content since she is researching a lot on it, with the downsides that I cannot compete on definitions level, and lacks a lot in helping with structure and ideas for improving the overall presentation of the paper. She also doesn't know much about DA and CDA which for a PhD teacher with more than 3 years in the field is a shame. Without DA my thesis doesn't stand out, so I'm not sure what should I do at this point, if to keep her or to change last minute 2 months before sending in. Keeping her would be a double-edged sword and instead of getting approval internally I may have 2 teachers "against" me including the external. Kinda odd situation. Usually I found myself luckier and better with teachers that knew 0 of my content but helped me with the structure, wished it was still the case. Wish me luck.

[@BRENDACJMIRAN]
