I know that every project is different but I was wondering what kind of questions are you expected to be asked in a final year project presentation?

Well at one level it could be anything. As you say the question is generic and therefore the answer has to be too.

When you present a project outcome / dissertation / sales proposal / design proposal you are putting forward a few things:

1) A proposition to the recipient.
2) A point of view otherwise known as a conclusion.
3) An argument to justify your point of view.
4) The rationale by which you reached that point of view.

Therefore the first step is to list out the objectives of the receipient requesting this proposition and the associated presentation. Their questions will be targeted at meeting those objectives. This will give you one angle on the type of questions you might get.

The second step is having considered their objectives you try to trash your proposition your self, over and over, get a knowledgeable but trustworthy friend to try and trash it. You have to find the weaknesses and holes. Some of these you might be able to correct prior to publication and presentation, others you will have to find good answers to, including the potential impact on your conclusion if the weaknesses turn out to be real.

Finally you take all these weaknesses and work up answers. An answer might be my confidence in this source / assumption is very high because......., but if the source / assumption is wrong even by as little as ....... then my conclusion would be invalidated, for these reasons........... Therefore further work is required to further varify the source / assumption and I think this might be possible in the following ways............. Or your answer might be even if the source / assumption is 50% wrong it has very little or no impact on my proposition for these reasons............. hence given my high confidence level in the source / assumption I am very confident in my proposition.

You can of course include the above type of stuff in your primary presentation, or keep it as "in your back pocket" material and bring it out when the question arises. Or keep it in your head and use it when the question arises. In my experience proactive tabling of this kind of thing lands better with the recipient.

If you get a question you have not identified whilst "trashing" don't panic, just think and then wing it.....

Bascially lots of the above focused on meeting the recipients objectives.

Good luck.
