The document provides instructions for a thesis defense presentation. Students must limit presentations to 20 minutes and select the most important messages to discuss under each slide title. Presenters should discuss results as they present and inform examiners of any major changes since submitting their thesis. The template indicates required slides, and presenters can add slides if needed but should aim to discuss each slide in about one minute. Conciseness is advised. Students are encouraged to attend other thesis defenses for learning opportunities.
1. Instructions
• Students are allowed only 20 minutes for presentations; examiners will stop you at
20 minutes
• Select the most important messages under each slide title for presentation; your
examiner would have read your thesis already
• Make discussion as you present results; no need to prepare discussion slide
• Inform examiners any major changes since you submitted the thesis
• The template indicate the slides you must present; you can prepare additional slides
if necessary. But be aware you need about one minute to present each slide under
normal circumstance (without adrenaline effects!)
• Being concise is SMART!!
• Good luck and we strongly advise you to attend as many thesis as possible, if not all-
it is a great leaning opportunity.
