Lead: To do a good job in thesis defense, we should not only understand the content of the thesis clearly, but also prepare the defense draft of the thesis. Next, I sorted out the summary of the thesis defense questions. I hope you like this article!
1. What is the reason for choosing this topic?
Answer analysis: First of all, subjectively speaking, each paper corresponds to the corresponding major, which can be briefly analyzed from the current social situation of the major, and then combined with my own internship experience (during the internship, I got a deeper social understanding of the major and found some problems, etc. Finally, it can be said that you chose this topic after in-depth communication with your tutor (this is very important, as for the reason, please guess for yourself! )
Second, the significance and purpose of this study?
This problem is usually mentioned in the opening title, and there are related chapters in the text, which only need to be summarized and refined. It should be noted that the logic must be clear and coherent, and don't think about where to start. Patching things together will leave a bad impression on the assessment teacher.
3. How is the basic structure and framework of the full text designed?
The answer to this question is not to tell you the outline of the paper, but to give a comprehensive explanation of the whole article. For example, the full text is discussed according to the structure of "total-sub-total". Firstly, the characteristics of XXXX are discussed as a whole, and then the problem of XXXX is put forward. Finally, make a concluding speech. All parts are logically related and cooperate with each other, becoming an inseparable part of the whole.
4. What is the logical relationship between the parts of the full text?
The answer to this question is combined with the outline of the paper. For example, the logical relationship of the full text is: first, explain the background-explain the current situation of XXX-put forward the existing problems of XXX-analyze the reasons-put forward corresponding countermeasures and suggestions-summarize and explain the full text.
5. Did you find different opinions in the course of studying this subject? How did you get to know these ideas step by step? Do you want to reprocess it?
Don't answer this question, "No disagreement found"!
First of all, we must be sure that there are many different views on this issue (here we need to summarize and elaborate various unnecessary views, such as the traditional concept thinks XXXXXXXX, and the modern concept thinks XXXXXXXX). Secondly, we must be clear about how we view these different views (remember, we can't completely deny or affirm a certain view, and each different view has put forward some views, no matter right or wrong, as long as it is not outrageous). Finally, Dealing with different opinions, first, how to deal with it in paper writing (what "opinions" do you use, that is, theory as the theoretical basis of research), and second, how to deal with it in study and research (still can't fully affirm or deny an opinion, take its essence and discard its dross! )
6. What problems are not involved in the research, but are closely related to the research?
No matter how many words there are in any article, it is impossible to study all the problems involved clearly. Therefore, you need to choose one or two questions that are closely related to the theme and give them a concise overview (overview, not a long speech, must be concise).
7. Is there any problem that I haven't studied thoroughly and my thesis research is not thorough enough?
This question needs to be answered in combination with the actual situation of your own article (but be careful to separate it from question 6). This problem has been mentioned or explained in the paper, but it is not deep enough! This is because the assessment teacher wants to know whether you have a correct understanding of your research topic. )
Eight, in the process of writing, what is the main basis of argument?
This problem must be strictly separated from the first problem, and it needs to be described in combination with the current situation, significance and purpose of the problem studied by the subject.
9. What is the innovation of this research?
Generally speaking, there are two kinds of innovations. The first is that this topic has never been studied before; The second type: the research breakthrough point and unique perspective of this topic (generally speaking, the innovation of the paper is mostly the second type, which can be logically and orderly expounded according to the actual situation of your own paper)
X. What are the shortcomings of this study?
The answer to this question can be combined with question 7, according to the following steps:
First, XXXXX;;
Second, XXXXX (if you really don't know, you can combine it with other majors, such as accounting, so you must involve professional statistical knowledge. You can say, "Due to the lack of professional knowledge in learning statistics, part XXX needs further in-depth study in the research process" and so on. Because the writing of any paper must involve other professional knowledge points, it is impossible to finish it alone! )
Special instructions:
Some people worry that the teacher will ask some "irrelevant questions", such as: Where did you get this document? Why did you choose XXX as your tutor? Why did you choose this major? How did you draw this picture? Please answer these questions yourself. Sorry, there is nothing you can do!
The assessment teacher should ask questions about the full text, based on the full text, and some will ask questions about certain chapters, such as "solutions to problems", and may ask questions in depth. At this time, we need to improvise and react on the spot, and there is no unified routine.
Please remember:
No matter how tricky the question is, please don't answer "I don't know", even if it is wrong, you should be clear about your thoughts!
Master thesis defense problem
(A) a good opening remarks
Preface is the official beginning of the whole thesis defense, which can attract attention, establish credibility and predict the intention and main content of the defense. A good beginning is half the battle. It should include three functions: introduction, connection and connection. A good opening statement should be: to the point, to the tone of the defense, and to use appropriate language. Negative beginnings, such as self-defense, should be avoided (for example, "I came in a hurry and didn't prepare well …"), which will not show respect for the experts of the defense Committee, but also show a lack of personal confidence, and the respondent's first impression of the experts will be greatly reduced. Remember that modesty and prudence are the traditional virtues of our country, but modesty is not self-confidence. At the same time, we should avoid self-expression, complacency and seek appreciation. Excessive performance will arouse the disgust of experts from the National Defense Commission.
(2) The central content of the report
The central contents of the report include: the content, purpose and significance of the paper; Raw data used; The basic content of master's thesis and the main methods of scientific research experiment; The results, conclusions and evaluations of one's own tasks. The defense report should focus on the above central contents and have a clear hierarchy. Specifically: highlight the importance and significance of the topic; Introduce the main viewpoints and structural arrangement of the paper; Emphasize the originality and contribution of the paper; Explain what necessary work has been done.
Lecture notes are usually displayed in the form of slides, which makes the theme clear and clear at a glance; Choose words, highlight key points and be concise; Beautify the visual effect appropriately and deepen the impression. Please refer to the previous section of this chapter for specific matters needing attention in slide production.
Attention should be paid to: seize the time, give a brief introduction and reply carefully. To this end, we must do the following:
1. Don't be nervous, take part in the defense with confidence and enthusiasm;
2. Clean appearance, natural movements and correct posture. Say hello to the experts at the beginning of the defense, and thank the experts at the end of the defense, reflecting good cultivation;
3. Be calm, use positive language in your tone, yes or no, and don't be ambiguous;
4. Stick to the theme in content, express clearly and fluently, have a moderate and infectious voice, and use appropriate gestures to achieve the best defense effect;
(3) Questions that may be raised by experts of the defense committee.
After the graduate report is finished, experts from the defense committee will ask questions and answer questions for 10 ~ 15 minutes. Generally, it includes: issues that need further explanation; Basic theories, knowledge and skills involved in the paper; Investigation on the related problems of graduate students' comprehensive quality.
The questions that the judge may ask generally come from the following aspects:
1. The research direction and professional field of the respondent;
2. Possible problems arising from the topic: whether it really conforms to the academic issues involved in this study (including the significance of the topic, important viewpoints and concepts, new viewpoints of the topic, details of the topic, weak links of the topic, feasibility of suggestions and doubts about the work done by yourself);
3. Paper questions: the standardization of paper writing, data sources, important references mentioned in the paper and some controversial observation standards.
4. Slide question: some pictures or charts need further explanation;
5. Problems that are not easy to estimate: problems that have nothing to do with the topic. It seems relevant, but the respondent has never done it at all, and it is not the problem involved in the topic. What the respondent didn't do, but what do the judges think the respondent should do further?
(4) How to answer questions raised by experts of the defense committee.
First of all, we should memorize the speech, prepare a lot of media, adjust our mentality, prepare the topic and prepare the pre-defense. Highlight the key points, seize the interest, and leave a foreshadowing in the follow-up reports. Taboo discussion is rambling, because the topic is the strength of one's own knowledge, the discussion is not convergent and rambling, and the content is often complicated, exposing too many doubts and difficulties, leaving hidden dangers for the questioning part. Smart graduate students should "tell the truth" and simply discuss around their own achievements, so that questions are often simpler and answers are smoother.
When it comes to the questioning session, experts should listen patiently and don't interrupt others' questions casually, regardless of whether the questions are appropriate or not. Answer the questions raised by experts completely, and don't show pride when you feel good about yourself. If you really don't know how to answer, just explain it directly to the experts and don't answer irrelevant questions. Don't argue irrationally about questions you are not sure about. Seeking truth from facts means that you haven't made it clear, so you must study this problem seriously in the future.
In short, the defense should be practical and realistic, neither humble nor humble, polite, and always show respect and gratitude to the experts. Note that the defense is not a purely academic defense, and non-academic components account for about half. You should show your maturity in all aspects and prove that you have the ability of academic research.
