Sorry for the joke but I figured you might want something to help your nurves relax.
I peronally just never make a big deal out of situation like yours and just do what I got to do and it just might have something to do with being a man. (I swear NIKE stole my life moddo for their ads) |

Good luck and let us know how it went! My friend just did hers and she said they tore it apart and disproved her thesis, and she felt like she ed up big time and was gonna fail, and then they said, "By the way, it was actually pretty good, you graduate with honors." lol.. If you worked hard and know your paper inside out you'll be fine. Stand by your conclusions but also show a flexibility to appreciate other points of view - if they say something that makes sense but contradicts you try to incorporate your view into their conclusion and make them mesh into something that's in your favor :)
I'll have to look back at this thread next January :p |

you KNOW your subject matter better than anyone else in that room and if someone IS a specilist in you particular field you've been studying it for at least a year so it's not like you are going in their unprepared. i wouldn't make a joke but start out with solid facts like you know who you are and what you studied from there let the powerpoint guide you...you'll be fine i'm sure
also, think you were probably more nervous to meet preach that that worked out well :) |

Great advice. Forget what everyone else said....excpet about getting a good nights sleep, and listen to this advice.

take a deep breath before you present and speak clearly and slowly, a slow speaker is always more effective than a fast speaker, plus you are less likely to stumble in your speech...
Also do not think of the audience as a bunch of well-educated people with a great deal more experience than you, think of them as your peers.
Remember that this is YOUR thesis, YOU are the expert in this field, not them.
Good luck. |

Stand tall with good posture, smile, think things through before speaking, speak at a slow steady pace, and clearly, look everyone in the eyes and make them feel like you are speaking to them personally.
Most importantly if you mess up, brush it off and just keep going!
Good Luck :D |

Before my PhD oral exam I took a big shot o' whiskey... no joke. It's just enough to take the edge off... but that's just me :D
Good luck! |
