Graduation thesis defense is a form of graduation thesis examination and the last step of the thesis. The thesis defense mainly examines the respondent's oral language expression ability, thinking agility, on-the-spot coping ability and psychological quality, and also tests the authenticity and effectiveness of the thesis. The following are the points for attention in the defense of college students' thesis that I shared. Let's have a look!

Many self-taught students are worried about the defense. In fact, the requirements of most schools for self-taught candidates are not as high as full-time ones. Many schools do not need to reply, and some schools choose to reply in the form of written reply. Of course, some schools require oral defense. If you don't need a reply, congratulations. Hand in your papers and you can wait for graduation. If students need to reply, they must be fully prepared before replying. After submitting your thesis, don't feel relieved, but take the time to actively prepare your thesis defense.

First of all, of course, you should be very familiar with your paper. Although the paper was written by myself, I am sure the general content is clear, but I still have to memorize my paper thoroughly, and I must be very clear about its title, framework, applied theories, arguments, conclusions, shortcomings and so on.

Secondly, think about the problems that may be encountered in the defense in advance. I wrote an article about frequently asked questions in defense before. If you are interested, you can click in to see the original text. Here, I want to sum up the most likely problems again.

(1) What is the basis for choosing the topic?

(2) Research background, basic viewpoints and argument basis of the paper?

(3) What is the significance and purpose of studying this topic?

(4) How is the basic framework and structure of the full text arranged?

(5) What is the innovation of this study? The logic of experiment?

(6) What are the relevant important issues not covered in this document?

(7) What is the research content of key citations involved in this paper?

(8) Weak links in the paper: such as unclear logic, incomplete data, insufficient persuasion, contradiction with existing literature, etc.

(9) How should this work be further developed in the future?

(10) Think negatively: What will happen if you don't do what you say?

Of course, it is not limited to the above problems. We don't know what kind of questions are asked by the defense Committee, so we should guess the possible problems in the defense in advance according to our own papers, sum up these problems ourselves, and prepare the answers in advance, so that we won't be too flustered if we encounter similar problems in the defense.

If the school requires that PPT must be prepared for defense, it is necessary to prepare PPT in advance. There are many templates on the Internet. Try to make PPT professional, concise and generous, not too fancy, and don't pile up a lot of words on it. PPT only needs to list the key points. Before the defense, you can search online for videos or articles related to thesis defense, or ask seniors and sisters about the defense process. And make full psychological preparation. The so-called preparedness, do a good job. Only when preparing the defense can we deal with it more calmly.

Third, don't be nervous when you reply, and answer the questions carefully. Don't answer irrelevant questions when defending, and your opinions must be consistent with your own papers. Pay attention to the following points when defending:

(1) confident and calm

Dressing appropriately and not wearing fancy clothes is the most basic respect for yourself and the defense team members. Don't be late for the defense day. You'd better arrive at the scene about an hour in advance to adapt to the environment in advance. At the same time, you should be confident, calm and calm in your defense, which will bring a good impression to the defense members. Many students may be introverted at ordinary times, afraid to speak on stage, and highly nervous when speaking on formal occasions. If so, they should practice more in advance to overcome difficulties. There is also the need to be fully prepared as mentioned above. If you are not fully prepared, the defense members will ask some tricky questions, which will make you more nervous.

(2) Politeness

There is no doubt that the respondent should fully respect the respondent, who is equivalent to the examiner. Listen carefully to the questions raised by the defense members. You can politely ask them to repeat the questions you didn't hear clearly, and be polite when encountering problems. Some teachers may misunderstand your point of view or be aggressive when asking questions, but in any case, keep a calm mind and control your emotions. Don't argue with the respondent loudly when the views are inconsistent with the respondent. Don't interrupt the respondent's question. It is very impolite for a person to talk all the time. Modesty and courtesy can leave a good impression on the defense team members.

(3) think seriously

When answering questions, members of the defense should keep a high degree of concentration, and must remember the key points of the questions clearly to prevent missing questions when answering. Try to get to the core of the respondent's question, don't rush to answer it, and don't interrupt the respondent's question. Listen to the complete question with a smile, and then answer it calmly. Sometimes you may not understand the defense members' problems well. You can ask directly if you understand what you mean, and then answer after you get a positive answer. You must avoid answering irrelevant questions.

(4) Concise and to the point

After correctly understanding the questions, the respondents answered each question with confident and fluent language and positive tone. Try to avoid using uncertain words or spoken words such as "maybe", "maybe", "ba" and "um", which will make the defense Committee feel that what you said is not credible. In addition, we need to pay attention to speech speed, intonation and pronunciation. Answer questions as concisely as possible, and you will lose patience if you talk too much.

On the question of right and wrong, we should clearly express our views and then discuss them separately. Avoid long speeches without listening to the respondents' views and positions. Respondents should pay attention to hierarchy and organization for questions such as concept explanation or process description. Respondents should keep an objective and cautious attitude towards academic opinions and don't jump to conclusions without clear evidence.

(5) Don't quibble

Don't argue irrationally on questions that you are not sure or know in order to muddle through. In this case, you can tell the truth that you don't know, and make it clear that you will find out the problem, or ask the questioner directly, and you should thank the respondent for his question. This will give people the impression of being modest and eager to learn.

(6) Stick to the truth

Some questions involve the discussion of academic viewpoints, and there are no correct standard answers and no conclusions about right or wrong. If you don't agree with the respondents' views on such issues, you should defend your academic views. You can't give up your point of view on your own initiative for fear of "offending" the respondent, but agree with the respondent's point of view. On the premise of maintaining respect for questioners, respondents should focus on their own academic views, conduct defensive debates, and don't give up their positions easily. Respondents demonstrated their academic ability while defending their academic views. On the contrary, their academic ability can be recognized by respondents.

(7) Summing up experience

Summarizing the experience of defense can not only accumulate more professional experience, but also gain the skills of defense technology, thus improving your speaking ability and eloquence. If some students want to continue the postgraduate entrance examination, it is also a good experience, from which they can sum up experiences and lessons and prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination in the future.
