Hi all
Read your thesis over and over again so you know it
inside out.
And, best advice I received was: know what you have to
defend and what you can let go. Your thesis won't be
perfect, so don't be so defensive that you can't
concede a few points. After all, it is one of the best
learning experiences you'll have.
After the first half hour you'll begin to relax and
enjoy it.
Best of luck
Abby
