= Sup! Since I am always sent as a delegate in Science Congresses, I always see and watch
this part of the Congress where people older than you (who are obviously Science nerds
forever) grill you with questions about your Investigatory Project on stage. (Nag-defend na ko
dun nung umabot ng finals yung IP namin, promise sobrang nakakakaba pero masaya tas yung
mga Paulinian pa galling iba’t-ibang lupalop ng Pilipinas yung nandun soooo yeah.) But anyway,
I cited this experience because I wanted you to know that I know what I’m talking about… and
that is, answering questions during defenses!
I made this for the Pre-Oral Defense (which is postponed until our teacher comes back from
sickness). Since she’s still sick, I decided to make a guide for my fellow people kasi natutuyo
lalamunan ko kaka-explain in detail irl (bantay-sarado din ako ng nanay ko and trip kong
gumawa so yeah.)
The whole thing is mostly English pero minsan di ko na kayang i-English kaagad yung mga
naiisip ko so Taglish yan.
1. Why did you choose your title? (Obviously in the list lol)
- “We have agreed on this title because of its convenience and relevance to
us. It is convenient for us since the field of our research will be the factors
which affect STEM student, which we are; and since it is on STEM, it is
relevant to us.”
- Tip: State your main idea first. Then give at least two or three supporting
ideas. Explain each idea, and summarize the whole thing kung sa tingin
mo hindi pa din ok yung judge dun sa sinasagot mo lol.
- Tip: Always state logical reasons. Para hindi mabubutasan yung sinasagot
mo at yung research mo lol.
- Tip: Most of the stuff that the panel asks you can be answered by
knowing your research well, that’s why you should give the whole thing a
good read before the date of the defense.
5. Where did you conduct this research? Is there anywhere else you have
conducted your research?
- Duh, St. Paul.
- And nowhere else.
- Tip: If you did go somewhere else to gather data for your research, do tell
the panel. And if they ask you why, tell them you did that to widen the
scope of your study and gather information that is different from what you
expect (to observe variance).
6. Why did you put __________ in your Related Literature? In what way is this
related to your study?
- (Tinatanong ng judge kasi hindi niya nakita yung relate ng nilagay mo sa
RRL. YAN KASI NAGLALAGAY LANG NG KUNG ANO BASTA MAY
NAIRELATE LANG!!!!!!) lol joke heto solution ko kung sakali.
Yung mga specific na tanong tulad ng kapag tinanong ka ni Miss tungkol sa #2 nung
Objectives ninyo madali nalang basta’t alam mo yung research ninyo. Kung di mo
masyadong gamay yung knowledge itanong mo sa gumawa nung part na yun para mai-
explain niya sayo. Actually, I suggest na mag-usap kayo as a group tungkol lang sa IP
ninyo, parang i-ccriticize niyo yung sarili ninyo research para sa gayon ma-warm up
kayo at maging prepared kayo sa mga itatanong sa inyo. Dapat seryoso hindi yung
mauuwi sa chika lang para naman mailigtas ninyo grades ninyo. We’re all in the same
boat, fam.
