What is a dissertation defense? A dissertation defense occurs when a PhD candidate defends their work. Usually a panel of experts, some from inside and outside of a university will ask questions about the candidate’s dissertation.

What is a dissertation defense like? From the PhD candidate’s prospective, it is quite stressful and I don’t know of anyone that likes this process. However, many ideas become clarified with the dissertation defense. From the examiner’s side, it is a chance to read through and clarify another person’s work. The goal is to help the potential PhD to see their work more clarity and in a simpler way.

How long does a dissertation defense last? The PhD defense can last any length of time, but in most universities, it will last several hours. It will be definitely longer than 1 hour and shorter than 5 hours. However, the length of time can vary dramatically based on the candidate’s work and the institution.

What are dissertation defense tips for PhDs?

1. Practice rehearsing your presentation many times. You will find out where you do not understand the material when you rehearse your presentation.
2. Read up on some of the latest literature. You want to read up on the latest literature in your area so you can speak to why your research is important.
3. Read your thesis several times. You should know your thesis well, and be able to defend your thesis such that you can demonstrate your mastery of the subject.
4. Create a list of potential questions that people will ask, and have preplanned answers for them. For example, why is your research important? How is it different than everything else? Why did you use this measure and not something else?
5. Try to enjoy the process. You will be stressed out. This is a given, but try to lean in and enjoy this stress rather than be afraid of it.
6. Plan an activity for afterward. You should have something planned, either going out for dinner to vent or to celebrate.

David Maslach is a research professor of entrepreneurship, innovation, and business strategy, I discuss topics, such as behavioral science, strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and apply these to my new peer proofreading and editing platform. Topics include the sharing economy, altruism, investing in technology, starting a business, and bounded rationality. My favorite videos pertain to incentives, goal setting, and learning from failure to drive behaviors such as weight loss, stopping telemarketers, creating novel technologies, and creating new movements.

https://r3ciprocity.com: Peer proofreading and editing platform

A new platform where you can earn credits by editing other people's documents. Use these credits to have your own work edited. If you do a good enough job, you can convert these credits to money.

The goal of the platform is to get people to 'pay it forward' and help other people out by creating incentives for people to give back.
