Graduation thesis defense is generally not allowed to bring manuscripts in. Defense is a comprehensive assessment of students' research ability and knowledge of graduation thesis. Examiners want to see students' familiarity with the content of the paper and be able to explain their research results fluently. Bringing a manuscript in may be seen as a sign of inadequate preparation or lack of confidence.

Before you reply, you can practice and familiarize yourself with your paper many times, so that you can answer the questions clearly.
