Dear judges, teachers and students present: Good morning, everyone. I am a XX, X-level XX major, and I am very happy to defend my thesis here. I hope I can draw a satisfactory end to my 20-year student career today. This sentence is a classic that I have pondered for a long time. )
Below, I will give you a brief report on the reasons for my graduation thesis, research status at home and abroad, research purposes, research methods, research contents and research conclusions.
The reason for choosing such a thesis topic is mainly based on the following three considerations: .........
The above are some basic information about my graduation thesis, and teachers are welcome to criticize and correct me (this sentence was criticized, and the chairman of the defense gave me a shock first. I saw this sentence on the internet to show modesty, but I didn't expect to make a bookish mistake. You'd better reply more before replying. The judges know their personalities and hobbies very well, especially the chairman of the defense Committee, who is the number one. Thank you.
There are some small experiences in the defense, which I would like to share with you here, hoping to help you.
The defense is divided into three stages: presentation period (20-25 minutes), question period and answer period. Three stages, about an hour.
During the 20-minute presentation time, some colleges asked respondents to do PPT, while others did not; Some claims should be written off, and some can read the manuscript. At this stage, under normal circumstances, no teacher is listening to what you are talking about, but they are all looking down at the papers and profiles you sent them, because no teacher has time to read such a thick paper, and they are all trying to find out. So at this stage, your task is to grind time, pay attention to a gentle and steady tone, and try not to be too professional when you speak. No one listens to your obscure theories, and of course you can't talk about your neighbors, which shows that you are too unprofessional and standard. In short, this degree should be well balanced. Pay attention to the expressions of teachers and classmates, and it is the last word to observe words and feelings.
At this stage of the questioning stage, listening is your main task. The teacher will give you time to grind. Teachers in our school will generally evaluate your thesis first, and of course they will say a lot of good things, all for the defense of the chairman of the Committee. The next step is to ask questions. When the teacher asks questions, you should remember his questions and understand his meaning. When you remember, you should pay attention to writing down the keywords you answered together, because the teacher has to answer after asking. If you are quick-witted, you can summarize the teacher's questions in different categories and then answer them in different categories, so that you look like a good boy.
Thank the teacher for his opinions and suggestions before answering, and then answer the teacher's questions. The first question, look at the topic first, then answer. When answering, it is forbidden to be blind and arrogant, complacent and unwilling to smoke. You are forbidden to be confident, flustered and guilty. You should know that you wrote the paper, and you read more relevant things than them, so you can speak boldly as long as you justify yourself. When answering at this stage, you should be concise, cut to the chase, cut the crap, say what you can, and say what you can't, but you have considered it when writing this paper, but you haven't fully considered it. The taboo is not to talk if you don't know. If everyone doesn't talk, the atmosphere will solidify. It's not good if no one says anything about the thesis defense, so you must say it, even if you say no, it's better than not saying it.
It is worth mentioning that the questions asked by the teacher are big and small. There is a theory, so you should know the theory of your thesis like the back of your hand, especially some similar nouns, especially words of similar length. For example, the three words of our classmates' social resources, social capital and social relations have been tangled by the teacher for a long time. There is a correct method, so you should pay more attention to the details of your investigation and don't make any mistakes. Teachers can see what they can cope with. I have worked for so many years, and my eyes are very poisonous. Some people are interested in details, so you should pay attention to the logical structure, sentence fluency, wording, typos, punctuation, especially the abstract of your paper. If something goes wrong in these aspects, it shows that you are not careful enough, so you should work hard when proofreading, and you can exchange proofreading with your classmates, because it is difficult for us to pick out typos in our own writing. Only the beginning of the paper is a facade, and it is better to have an afterword. Thank you. Although old-fashioned, I still want to thank the teacher for reading books for so many years. This is necessary.
The passage of the defense is basically guaranteed, but it should not be too ugly. It doesn't matter if you are ashamed, it is a crime to embarrass your tutor. For the tutor, for yourself, also want to behave well. Well, basically, that's all. The situation of each major and school is different. What I said is just a family statement, for reference only. I hope it helps you.
