1. It should be put in context 

Think of the defense as a meeting between you an author and the publisher of the book that you have written. You are expected by the publisher to explain some things relating to your choices and give an explanation on such. You will be asked a wide range of questions concerning how you came about the structure and make-up of the book.

Know the boundary of your work very well. You are going to be asked questions but the boundary of the questions that you are going to be asked is not beyond the context of your work. Though you might be asked questions on how the work fits into the context of practical reality in the world; 90% of what you are going to be asked will be based on your dissertation details.

This will provide you the opportunity of going into the knotty gritty of your project before you answer the questions that will be thrown at you by your supervisors.

8. Your gear

You must appear in a decent outfit before the defense panel. Three things should be considered when you want to choose your wear: You are expected to be comfortable in the outfit. You must feel awesome in it and it must make you appear like the student you are.

8. The right mindset

Get there ahead of your examiners on the day of defense and have a feel of the environment before their arrival. 

9. Have fun
