Design and Deliver Grad Studio Part 3: Defending and Answering Questions

In this workshop, we’ll discuss the purpose of Q&As and defences, teach you how to prepare for questions from your audience and share strategies to ask and answer questions clearly. This workshop works best if you’re preparing for a presentation with a significant Q&A portion (like a defence). Throughout this workshop, we’ll ask you to think about your department’s defence culture, anticipate questions about your research, and practice asking and answering questions with your peers. 
 
If you dread the Q&A portion of a presentation or defence, this workshop will help you feel more confident about giving your answers.
