GIVING JUSTICE TO YOUR HARD WORK:

PREPARING FOR YOUR FINAL DEFENSE

THINGS TO DO (Check each box as you accomplish every task):

Before the Presentation: Prepping the Paper
□ Ensure that all sections (including those that will not be part of the oral presentation) of the final
paper have been written following the guidelines and format discussed in class.
□ Do a grammar and spelling check. Panelists find typographical and grammatical errors
distracting.
□ Double-check the format of the paper (spacing, margins, etc.) to ensure that it follows the format
prescribed in class.
□ References must be in APA 6th Edition and must be indicated in a separate page which must be
seen after Chapter 5.
□ The research instrument (survey questionnaire) must also be attached to the manuscript after the
References.
□ Print the final version of your research in three (triplicate) copies.

Before the Presentation: Planning the Presentation

□ Take note of the sections that you will need to present:
1. Start by presenting the title of the research;
2. Mention the recommendations of the panel during the proposal defense and discuss how
you revised the paper to follow these recommendations;
3. Proceed with a brief background of the study;
4. Reintroduce the Statement of the Problem;
5. Discuss Chapters 4 and 5 for last.
□ Determine how many will be doing the presentation and devise how the parts will be discussed in
such a way that the whole presentation will be cohesive.
□ Construct the slideshow presentation to highlight only the important sentences of your paper. BE
MINIMALIST IN THE DESIGN. No font smaller than 24.
□ Take note that your presentation must not exceed 15 minutes. Practice the whole process and time
yourself. Edit the presentation, if necessary, to maximize the time you have.
□ All members of the research team must be in BUSINESS ATTIRE, must study and be prepared
to answer the questions that the panel members will be asking. If you want, you may assign every
member to a section or several sections of the paper and whichever section is relevant to the
question raised, the member assigned to it must respond.
□ IMPORTANT: Take note of the criteria for the evaluation of your oral presentation: Ability to
defend position logically (25%); Clarity of Presentation, Composure and Physical Appearance
(15%); Depth of Knowledge (25%); Content of Paper (40%)

On the Day of the Presentation

□ Be at the presentation venue at least 30 minutes before the start of your presentation.
□ You may negotiate with other groups regarding the sequence.
□ Decide on the slot you want to take and inform me. First to inform gets the slot.
□ We don’t know what time each slot will take but assume that each presentation will
approximately take 50 minutes.
□ The order of presentation will be as follows:

During the Presentation

□ Upon entering the room acknowledge the panel with a simple greeting. Smile. The panel is not
there to just point out your mistakes but to help you.
□ One member must be in charge of controlling the slideshow, another must act as time keeper and
give signals to the presenters whenever time is running out. Remember, you have to finish after
15 minutes.
□ Start the presentation immediately. Introduce the members of the group and proceed with the
presentation.
□ When you are done, tell the panel that the presentation has ended and that your group is ready to
answer their questions and listen to their comments.
□ Be open-minded. The panel members are experts and you will learn a lot from them.
□ Ask one member to take down notes, presenters must be in front and listen to the comments. You
may want to do an audio recording of the panel’s comments but ask for their permission
first before you start recording.
□ Thank the panel for their help as they finish their comments and leave the presentation room
immediately.
After the Presentation
□ BREATHE and if you have done your best, you deserve a pat on the back regardless of the
outcome of the defense. Congratulations!
□ Start working on revisions.

NOTE: The groups in the morning and afternoon should contribute for the snacks and water
of the panelist for the whole day.
