[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Paying attention to feedback is very important. If you have a committee member always providing you feedback about methodology, you have to expect that during the defense, they might ask you about your research method, right? If they ask a lot about your theoretical framework, if they ask a lot about how you apply your study, what is the implication of your study, provide you feedback about how to present the findings. All these are signals that will give you an idea about the kinds of questions that you're going to receive from them. So it helps you to anticipate the areas that they are going to ask you questions and then you prepare yourselves.

Summary

Committee feedback can reveal the areas likely to be questioned during a thesis or dissertation defense. Repeated comments about methodology, theoretical framework, application, implications, or presenting findings are signals to prepare strong explanations in those areas.
