There is nothing to memorise. Reread your own work and be ready to explain your choices.

The interview is about the work you just handed in. If you did that work, you are already prepared — the questions are about your own choices, not about the whole course.
- Reread your submission just before you start. That is the single most useful thing you can do.
- Be ready to say why. Why this method, why this source, why this conclusion. That is most of what gets asked.
- Use the practice run if there is one. It is not graded and it takes the edge off.
- Find a quiet spot with a decent microphone. Headphones help more than anything else.
- Speak normally. Thinking out loud, pausing and correcting yourself are all fine. That is what real understanding sounds like.
- If you do not know something, say so and reason towards it. That scores better than a confident guess.
