First, the process of thesis defense

(A) the prologue of the paper

It takes 15-30 minutes to report the main contents of the thesis for the master students. It is suggested that the respondent make a statement and introduction by means of multimedia or slides according to the prepared opening remarks, and make a speech as much as possible.

(B) College experts ask questions

Experts ask questions according to the research content of the dissertation and consider relevant knowledge; The questions asked should be exploratory rather than exploratory, with moderate difficulty and size, easy first and then difficult, step by step, clear and specific, and easy to understand. At the same time, experts should appropriately inspire and guide the defense masters.

(3) Answer expert questions

After writing the master's thesis, you should concentrate on recording the questions raised by the experts in order to make a complete answer; And return the slides to the "paper title" page so that experts can ask questions accurately. Usually, after a short period of preparation, the master of defense will spend about 30 minutes seriously answering experts' questions.

(4) Experts agree to vote.

After the completion of the defense, the defense master students leave the venue temporarily, and the defense Committee will discuss the situation according to the quality of the paper and the defense, and summarize the situation in the process of the paper and defense, affirm the advantages, and point out the mistakes or shortcomings. The summary of the defense Committee includes comments on the content and structure of the thesis, the problems existing in the thesis, and the evaluation of the thesis and thesis defense. Finally, the defense committee decides whether the thesis defense is passed by secret ballot. Usually, at least two-thirds of the defense members agree to pass, so that the master students can be sure to pass the thesis defense. In addition, the voting results of the defense Committee should be recorded.

(5) announce the results of the defense.

After the opening master students re-enter the defense venue, the chairman of the defense Committee reads out the "resolution" and voting results of the defense Committee's thesis defense. For master students who can't pass the defense, the defense committee should put forward opinions on the revision of the thesis, allowing the respondent to re-defend the thesis after revising it within 1 year.

Second, the skills of thesis defense

The thesis defense is not to read the thesis, but to grasp the main points of the thesis, make a summary, concise and vivid exposition, and give a comprehensive and accurate answer to the experts' questions. Thesis defense is a good opportunity to show real talent and practical learning. Master students should master the defense skills and be good at expressing.

(A) the preparation before the thesis defense

1. Be familiar with the paper and write an outline.

Master students must know all the contents of the thesis, especially the main part and conclusion part of the thesis. First of all, it is necessary to clarify the basic viewpoints of the opening remarks and the basic basis of the main arguments; Understand the exact meaning of the main concepts used in the understanding theory and the main contents of the basic principles used. Secondly, we should carefully check whether there are contradictions, fallacies, one-sided or ambiguous places in the paper, and whether there are any places that contradict the party's principles and policies. If you find the above problems, you should make full preparations before replying, that is, make appropriate supplements, modifications and explanations. Thirdly, in the outline of defense, the main points should be determined first, and then the following contents should be listed in logical order around this main point: why this research is carried out, how it is carried out, what findings are made, etc. Finally, according to the defense outline, the relevant contents that need to be briefly discussed are extracted from the paper, highlighting the progress and achievements of the research topic.

2. Scientific prediction, everywhere fortification

First of all, you should prepare a colloquial thesis defense speech in advance, so as to avoid stopping too much because you can't remember the right words at the moment. Secondly, after the thesis defense speech is written, it should be checked many times to ensure the accuracy of the language. Master students can make a pre-defense with the participation of tutors and other relevant personnel. Pre-defense before formal defense is very important, which allows students to make up for the shortcomings of the paper and correct the fallacies in time. Moreover, in the pre-defense, the questions raised by experts are likely to be the questions raised by experts in the formal defense. This will enable national defense students to prepare for the defense questions. Thirdly, we should be familiar with the defense notes of the thesis, so as to ensure that we can get rid of the manuscript and effectively control the presentation time of each part of the content.

3. Choose a chart to enhance the effect

The defense of master's degree thesis usually needs the close combination of lecture notes and multimedia slides. Therefore, when preparing the defense slides, the contents of the slides should be concise and controlled at 25~30 pages; The number of charts used for presentation is less, and charts with strong visibility and obvious trends are used, and different curves are distinguished by different colors. Because the table used in the dissertation is not necessarily suitable for presentation, the table items in the slide should be simplified as much as possible, with no more than 4 lines and no more than 10 items. In addition, because charts are easier to understand than tables, which saves interpretation time, tables that illustrate trends and point out gaps can be replaced by charts [3-5].
