The Thesis Defense
The essence of the defense is
1. It simulates the presentation of a truth that you discovered.
2. It proves to the panel that it was you who wrote your thesis.

Recommendations
Defense PPT style
No or less animations. If you use animation, it should contribute SMOOTHLY to the presentation.
Apply Zen style: there should be ample blank spaces.
Use rule of seven: 7 lines of text per slide, 7 words per line.
Use bullets or numbered list to summarize chapters.
Use paragraphs only to tell a story, or a principle.
Use pictures or diagrams or graphs instead of text when possible. Since you’re supposed to be speaking.
The Delivery
Arrive / begin w a smile. Show a positive attitude. Negative facade can influence the panel.
Present it don’t report it.
If your goal is to present, you can deliver if told to do so within 5 minutes, or within 30 min. Because you “know” what you talking about, and what you need to deliver.
You can’t present if you do not know the thesis by heart.
The Defense
Answer clearly.
Leave pride at home.
Take in mind, you are presenting a proposal of a new idea. You can only be proud once you present it clear, logically, and the panel agrees. So be congenial, be clear, give proofs. If they don’t accept, they will question or shout at you, IT’S THEIR PRIVILEGE. Because they are the gatekeepers of the discipline. They hold MAs and PhDs, YOU are asking them to give you your bachelor’s degree. If you do ‘t believe me, go check the cover page of a thesis. It says: “in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of...”
Never argue with your panel. Explain to them.
Answer as clear and concise as possible. Provide details to prove your claim.
Your panel will see if: parangag hiuhugot mo lang ang sagot. The panel will also see if you bluff.
