Examiner Found a Mistake in Your Thesis? Say This
What should you say when an examiner finds a mistake in your thesis defense? Many students panic when an examiner points out an error in their thesis. They may deny it, over-defend it, blame their supervisor, or assume that one mistake means they have failed. But in most cases, a mistake does not automatically destroy your thesis defense. In this video, I share 5 strong response approaches you can use when your examiner finds a mistake, weakness, unclear explanation, or questionable decision in your thesis. These responses can help you stay calm, credible, analytical, and professional. You will learn how to acknowledge a mistake, assess its impact, clarify unclear writing, defend a reasonable methodological choice, and explain how you would correct the issue if you were revising the thesis.
