University students across the globe face one challenge or the other in their bid to record academic success. One of the biggest of these challenges is about defense of dissertation proposals. This is a big source of worry to many undergraduates and postgraduates alike. The following are five hints and tips that can be very helpful in this regard:

• Be prepared: Many students performing poorly at their dissertation proposal defense presentations simply because of a most obvious reason. That reason is none other than lack of adequate preparation. A bad habit common with students is that they only commence serious preparations when the presentation is already knocking at the door. Do not make this mistake, be like a battle commander and strategize ahead.


• Follow the guidelines: Some students have issues on this matter simply because they have refused to pay close attention to the rules and regulations guiding their work. Every academic institution has its own guiding principles, and for any student to succeed, it is important that these guidelines be strictly adhered to.


• Be meticulous with the research: The more detailed your research work is, the easier it will be for you to defend. Do not outsource your work. Do it yourself and commit all your resources to it. Carrying out a very detailed research gives you all the confidence in the world, and this assists greatly with your work.


• Rehearse, rehearse and rehearse: Do not wait until the final day before you decide to do any presentation. Be familiar with your piece. Read it to yourself and have others read it to you. In doing this, you are able to understand really what you are going to present, and nothing will get you by surprise.


• Be composed: When it is time to face your professors, supervisors and teachers, make sure that you are very composed. Do not fret but make sure you are most confident. Listen carefully to all the questions coming from the panel and do the very best when it comes to answering them.

For any student who is diligent enough to follow the guidelines that have been stipulated above, the chances of recording a success are higher. Once again, make sure you stick to the strategies that work best for you. There is also no problems if you have some discussions with your tutors in the line of carrying out your research works.
