- Try to be calm- Don´t read anything- Trust yourself- Take in all positive things you get from
people around
- You are the expert in this area- The opponent is probably more nervous
than you- The mock defense is much worse than the
real defense- Enjoy the day, this is your day!

My advice
• Start early
• Start to write the discussion
• Try to do other things in between writing
• Prepare for your mock defense
• Train for your presentation
• Be calm and positive during the defense day
