Question 1: In few sentences, can you tell us what your study is all about?
The question is simple right? Many professors will tell you that most students get choked on a
question like this. Anyways the question is simple, but a bit technical. To answer this question, you
need to know every detail of your research project from chapters one to the end. The question needs
an answer in form of a summary of the entire study, therefore, to ace this particular question you need
to know every detail in your abstract. If you wrote a good abstract, this question will be a cross over
for you.
Question 11: Based on your findings what areas will you suggest for future research?
Questions like this are just there to test your reasoning and authority in your research area. Based on
your findings in a manageable scope, you should be able to suggest future research areas in line with
your study. For example, if I researched on the challenges of personal income tax collection in
Nigeria, a good area for further study will be in other forms of taxation such as VAT, Company tax etc.
Question 12: How can your research study be put into practice?
Easy for the computer scientist and engineering students, but a bit tough for management and social
sciences since most management/social science projects are more of abstract in nature. However,
you should try your best to be realistic here. Relate your study to current trends in your environment,
office, economy, government, schools, church etc. Use of relevant examples and illustrations will
score you good point here.
Question 13: How would you summarize your study to a practitioner in a few sentence?
Your ability to convey technical information from the study will score you good points here.
Question 14: What would you change if you were to conduct the study again?
Hmmm. Be careful! Do not be too jovial. There is a loophole here! Just like your limitations, this
question can be asked to identify your week points.
Question 18: What do you plan to do with your research project after Graduation?
Here you are at liberty to say your mind. If you intend to publish it, this is the best opportunity to
discourse and interact with the committee members-maybe a professor there can help.
Question 19: What source of data was employed for the study?
At this point you have to state the source(s) you got data from. In general you have to state whether
data was gotten from primary or secondary source or both. You can further convince the committee
members by discoursing on literature reviewed for the study-both theoretical and empirical.
Question 20: What theories or theoretical framework is your study based on?
This is a very technical question but interesting. Before you step into the defense room, you should
know at least two relevant theories that relate to your study. For example, the “impact of motivation on
employee productivity” will be based on Maslow’s Theory and other theories of motivation. If you
cannot find relevant theories to back up your study, consult your supervisor for help.
Question 21: How would you relate your findings to existing theories on the study?
To ace this question, one will have to read extensively. You should know existing theories on the
subject matter as well as empirical studies too. Your ability to link your findings to previous research
studies (Whether they agree or not) will go a long way in validating your study. You will score good
points here trust me.
