How long it takes depends on your understanding of the opening paper, including research background, research status at home and abroad, research content, research plan, problems to be solved, innovations, etc. If you have done some work, you will have less time to write the opening report, but if you do less, you may have more, about a month or a week, depending on how much preparatory work you have done in the early stage.
The writing process of the initial report cycle stage

Stage 6 (April-May, 20 13): Finalize the thesis and prepare for formal defense.
Is it necessary to reply to the opening report?
Whether you need a thesis opening report depends on the specific requirements of your school. Some colleges require a reply, while others do not.
The specific procedures and precautions for the defense of the opening report are as follows:
1. Students should use PPT to demonstrate 10- 15 minutes according to the following requirements:
First, the background and significance of the topic.
B, research status and evaluation at home and abroad
C, the breakthrough point of the paper and the content to be studied.
D. Research methods, research paths and innovations.
2, the review team to guide teachers' questions and amendments. (10-15min/person)
In addition to answering questions, students also need to listen to the revision opinions in detail. After the defense, students should carefully revise and improve according to the opinions of the evaluation team's instructors to ensure the quality of the research and the rigor of the design.
3. Students who fail to pass the opening of the topic must complete the revision of the opening report within three months after the opening of the topic and reply again.
4. All students who have passed the opening defense should write papers based on this topic. If you need to change the topic of the paper, you must reopen the topic. The college will compare the topic of the opening defense with the pre-defense draft submitted during the pre-defense. If there are substantive differences, you will not be allowed to participate in the pre-defense.
5. For students who have passed the opening, please submit the opening report in quadruplicate to the college office, one for the graduate school, one for the tutor, one for the department and one for the graduate student.
Do a good job in four aspects in the defense of the opening report
1. Behave naturally and generously, and speak at a moderate speed.
At the beginning of the defense, there are at least three tutors and students on the same stage, so it is understandable to be nervous. But when I got to the stage, my mind was blank, tongue-tied and embarrassed. In order to avoid this situation, you can write a defense outline in advance, simply list what you want to elaborate, and arrange it several times in advance. In case you are nervous and incoherent.
Of course, we should avoid the other extreme, speaking too fast. I was intoxicated, but the people in the audience were confused and had no time to digest and understand your content. If you want to finish the story quickly, you will lose a lot of points When you are natural and generous, it is enough to express your views at a moderate speed.
2.PPT is simple and clear.
I have seen some too flashy and distracting PPT, and the effect is not very good. After all, content is king, and the tutor is here to listen to your explanation, not to appreciate the cool effect. It is important to emphasize the background color of PPT. Highlight your text, and don't let the color of the bottom plate be too close to the text, so that people in the audience can't easily see the text on PPT.
Due to the limited time, many times the defense teacher asked to explain the literature review. Focus on research problems and research design. After all, we can see the feasibility of the study. Generally speaking, the PPT for the opening defense should include the cover (subject, name, major, student number, instructor), research purpose, research significance, literature review (theoretical basis and research status at home and abroad), research content and problems, research design (research object, research methods, research tools, research steps) and references.
3. Be familiar with the contents of the opening report, and don't ask three questions.
Although the current opening report has not been copied, it cannot be copied and pasted blindly. You must understand what is written in the opening report. If you can't make it clear yourself, then don't write for the sake of supplementing words. Those national defense instructors have been mixed up for so many years and have never seen anything. They are all very experienced. At that time, they will take a little from the literature review and let you explain. It would be embarrassing not to know.
There is a better tutor, look directly at your reference and let you talk about this document. You said you listed it all in the resources, and you can also say that you don't know. I have seen awkward defense, and my tutor looked at the references and directly said it was plagiarism. Because the author's name in the literature is wrong, and it is as wrong as others.
So don't be naive, be practical and be lucky. Sometimes the defense teacher doesn't point it out clearly, which doesn't mean he doesn't know. It's always good to do more homework yourself in advance.
4. The format should be standardized
It's good that you have finished, but the effect and intention of coping are different. Nowadays, the opening defense teachers rarely deliberately embarrass students. It is understandable that you did something wrong, but you must have an attitude. To tell the truth, these things can always be done well as long as they take some time to standardize the format. But sometimes, the school has provided a reference template, and some people are still too lazy to change it, which makes them speechless.
What are the defense details in the opening report?
1, with clear content and prominent focus.
The general contents of the opening report include: project content and significance, research status at home and abroad, innovation and characteristics, expected results and key problems to be solved, existing foundation, research progress, division of labor, budget, etc.
Existing foundations include: research accumulation and achievements related to this project; Existing conditions, missing conditions and solutions.
About the division of labor: because it is a project application, it is necessary to attach the results of the person in charge and members (such as academic performance, outstanding students, experience and achievements in participating in practical activities and competitions, specialties, etc.). )
Budget: It is mainly used to finance research expenses such as experiment expenses, materials expenses, books expenses, paper publishing expenses and research travel expenses.
It's complicated enough for college students, especially juniors! But it is a national project after all. If you want to be the person in charge of a national project, you must take it seriously.
2. Control time
Make the questions clear, especially the key points, within the specified reply time. Practice in advance and control the time.
3. About answering the judges' questions
We should grasp the key points and be concise; If it is an unknown or unclear question, there are mistakes and loopholes in the statement, truthfully explain whether it has not been considered or ignored, and don't entangle a bunch of reasons and entangle.
In order to satisfy the judges and themselves, we must prepare in advance, pay attention to the related issues of the project, evaluate the questions that may be asked, and so on. Well-prepared and unprepared are definitely different.
4. Full of confidence and loud voice
Whether speaking or answering questions, you should be full of energy and have a loud voice.
How long is the writing cycle of the opening report? Do I have to reply? After reading the whole article, I believe everyone has a clear answer in their hearts. We should take the writing of the opening report seriously, set aside enough writing time as far as possible, and be ashamed to ask questions and consult others and tutors. If the school asks for an opening report, we should be fully prepared and relax.
