Thesis defense process

General defense procedure

1. Students must submit their graduation thesis in triplicate, together with the outline and draft, half a month before the thesis defense meeting, which has been approved and signed by the tutor. The main defense teacher of the defense Committee will work out the questions to be asked on the basis of carefully studying the graduation thesis, and then hold a defense meeting.

2. At the defense meeting, let students spend about 15 minutes to summarize the topic and the reasons for choosing the topic, and introduce the main arguments, arguments and writing experience of the paper in detail.

3. The main defense teacher asks questions. The main defense teacher usually asks three questions. After the teacher asks questions, some schools stipulate that students can prepare for 15-20 minutes independently, and then come back to answer on the spot, while the Correspondence College of the Central Party School stipulates that students are required to answer on the spot immediately after the main defense teacher asks questions (there is no preparation time). It can be a dialogue, or the main defense teacher asks three questions at a time, and the students listen clearly and write them down and answer them one by one. According to the students' answers, the main defense teacher and other defense teachers can ask appropriate questions at any time.

Students quit after answering all the questions one by one. According to the quality of the paper and the defense situation, the defense Committee collectively decides whether to pass or not, and formulates achievements and opinions.

5. Recall the students, the main defense teacher will summarize the situation in the process of thesis and defense for the students, affirm their advantages and disadvantages, point out their mistakes or shortcomings, make necessary supplements and guidance, and announce the approval or disapproval of the students. As for the results of the paper, it is generally not announced on the spot.

The Correspondence College of the Central Party School stipulates that students who fail to reply will be amended and allowed to reply separately after half a year.

The way to answer questions

In the graduation thesis defense meeting, the way the main defense teacher asks questions will affect the realization of the purpose of organizing the defense meeting and the students' defense level. It is necessary for the presiding teacher to pay attention to his own way of asking questions.

1. Ask questions according to the principle of easy before difficult. The main defense teacher usually asks three or more questions to each respondent, and these questions should be asked in the order from easy to difficult. The first question asked should generally be considered as a question that students can answer and answer well. When students answer the first question well, they will relax their nervousness and enhance their confidence that they can answer well, which will help them to play their normal level in the defense of the next few questions. On the other hand, if you can't answer the first question, it will give students a psychological burden, aggravate their nervousness and produce panic, which will inevitably affect the defense of the following questions, so it is difficult to correctly test students' defense ability and academic level.

2. Ask questions step by step. In order to correctly test students' mastery of professional basic knowledge, it is sometimes necessary to divide a big question into several small questions and ask questions step by step. For example, there is a paper on "Science and technology are the primary productive forces", and the test level questions given by the examiners are composed of the following four small questions.

(1) What is technology?

(2) Is science and technology an independent factor of productivity? After the students made the correct answer, they immediately asked the third little question: namely

(3) Science and technology are not independent factors of productivity. Why is it also productivity?

(4) How to understand that science and technology are the primary productive forces? Through such questions, according to the students' defense, the students' solid mastery of basic knowledge can be accurately measured. If you can't answer any of these four small questions, it means that the student has not mastered the basic professional knowledge well; If all four questions can be answered correctly, it shows that the student has a solid grasp of basic knowledge; If you can answer 2-3 of them, or you can answer a little of each small question, but the answers are incomplete or incorrect, it means that the student has mastered the basic knowledge in general. If you don't take this step-by-step way of asking questions, it will be difficult to accurately measure a student's mastery of professional basic knowledge. If the above question is the way to ask questions: please talk about why science and technology are the primary productive forces? Students may repeat the main content of the paper. It is difficult to know exactly whether students' mastery of basic knowledge is good, poor or average.

When the respondent's point of view is different from his own, we should discuss with him in a gentle way and in a discussion tone, that is, we should be "elders", practice our skills, and avoid condescending and insulting. Don't pretend to be the master of "truth" and easily use negative judgments such as "wrong", "wrong" and "fallacy". Remember the adage that "what is right is not necessarily right, and what is wrong may be right" and have a good opinion. If the author's point of view is reasonable and well founded, even if it is completely contrary to his own point of view, he should recognize it and be willing to accept it. If the author's views are immature and imperfect, they should be discussed in good faith and peacefully, giving students equal rights to defend or refute. When your point of view cannot be accepted by the author, you should not bully the weak, oppress the reason with power, and be rude. Although in the process of defense, the status of the defense teacher and the students is not equal (one is the examiner and the other is the examinee), but they are completely equal in personality. It is normal to show mutual respect and modesty in defense, and it is difficult to unify views for a while. You don't have to impose your own views on others, just take your own views out for the other party's reference. In fact, as long as the defense teacher speaks euphemistically and peacefully, it is easier for students to accept and consider your point of view, and it is easier to re-examine their own points of view, so as to achieve the goal of exploring the truth together.

4. When students can't answer questions for a while, heuristic and guided questioning methods should be adopted. Teachers who have participated in the thesis defense Committee may have encountered such a situation: students can't answer your questions, and some just "stay" helplessly; Some ramble with you and beat around the bush, but in fact he doesn't know the answer. In this case, the defense teacher can neither make the students embarrassed to "stay" nor let them talk to each other, but should enlighten or guide them in time. There are many reasons why students can't answer, some because the questions are completely unexpected, or because of a temporary "blind spot of perception". At this time, with a little guidance and inspiration, students can "recall" what they have learned and answer questions well. Only through inspiration and guidance can we judge that he really doesn't have this knowledge when he still can't answer and get to the point.
