Lead: When listening to the defense, pay attention to what types of questions teachers often ask, and take notes on their suggestions carefully to prevent the same mistakes from appearing in their own papers. Also pay attention to learn from the answers of senior brothers and sisters. Let's take a look at the experience of postgraduate thesis defense with me, I hope it will help!

First of all, the experience of our paper editing.

As long as you are familiar with the thesis, but this familiarity is systematically summarized according to the framework of thesis defense, and it is expounded in four aspects (research significance, research content, innovation and deficiency of the thesis).

Secondly, the following is our model essay:

Hello, teachers! My name is xxx, and my thesis topic is "Study on Opportunity Cost of Postgraduate Entrance Examination". Here, please allow me to express my deep gratitude to Mr. xxx for his careful guidance, and my heartfelt thanks to all the teachers for taking the trouble to participate in my thesis defense.

First of all, the significance of the paper.

In this paper, while interpreting the "fever of postgraduate entrance examination", Mincer's income function is selected as the basic model to calculate the rate of return of postgraduate entrance examination, and the opportunity cost of postgraduate entrance examination is calculated by cost-benefit analysis method. At the same time, it analyzes individual rational choice and environmental system, discusses the influence of system function on individual choice, and analyzes how the decision of postgraduate entrance examination is "chosen" and how individual rational choice leads to collective irrational choice.

Theoretically:

This paper mainly puts forward a relatively new point of view on college students' choice behavior under uncertain conditions: in the face of graduation choice, whether college students rationally calculate the opportunity cost of postgraduate entrance examination, and whether the decision of postgraduate entrance examination is due to individual's "independent choice" or institutional or social environment's "being chosen". Although the opportunity cost of postgraduate entrance examination has gradually attracted people's attention as a research perspective, almost all the research on the opportunity cost of postgraduate entrance examination is analyzed from the perspective of economics, with few sociological perspectives and no in-depth empirical analysis. From the micro level, everyone's decision to take the postgraduate entrance examination is not necessarily determined by personal rational choice; From the middle level, the school promoted the popularity of the postgraduate entrance examination fever through positive publicity; From a macro point of view, the reform of the national education system and the influence of the social environment make the postgraduate entrance examination an inevitable trend.

Realistic aspect:

With the gradual expansion of graduate enrollment in recent years, "postgraduate entrance examination fever" has become a common phenomenon among fresh undergraduates. Although graduate education plays an important role in cultivating high-level talents and promoting China's social and economic development, the growing enthusiasm for applying for graduate students hides potential risks in a deep level. As an educational investment, postgraduate entrance examination has the characteristics of high investment cost, long cycle and low enrollment rate, and there are many risks in the uncertainty of investment return.

Postgraduate education, as the highest level of higher education in China, was originally established to cultivate high-level and high-quality innovative talents needed by national economic construction and social development. However, with the expansion of graduate enrollment, many students' purpose of postgraduate entrance examination deviates from the goal of national recruitment. Many students only regard postgraduate entrance examination as a safe haven for employment, or a springboard for improving their academic qualifications and level, rather than improving their scientific research and learning ability, which violates the most essential purpose of postgraduate education. Analyzing the postgraduate entrance examination from this angle is more about the competition for scarce higher education resources. If it is not for further academic study or improving scientific research ability, it should be regarded as a huge waste of scarce educational resources.

Secondly, on the framework of research content.

The first chapter mainly discusses the research ideas and methods, as well as related concepts and basic theories.

Chapter II Employment Survey and Investigation (Phenomenon Analysis).

The third chapter is the opportunity cost analysis (cost calculation) of postgraduate entrance examination.

The fourth chapter analyzes the causes of the "postgraduate entrance examination fever".

The fifth chapter is how to make the postgraduate entrance examination return to rational choice.

Then, the innovation of this paper.

The innovation of this paper lies in:

1, the innovation of research perspective. Starting with the phenomenon of "the craze for postgraduate entrance examination", this paper investigates the present situation of students' employment and postgraduate entrance examination in Dongbei University of Finance and Economics, deeply analyzes the opportunity cost of postgraduate entrance examination, introduces the calculation method of educational investment income in educational economics to calculate the investment return rate of postgraduate entrance examination, and reflects the opportunity cost and investment return rate of postgraduate entrance examination through intuitive data.

2. Comprehensive innovation from the theoretical perspective. On the basis of sociological rational choice theory, this paper introduces social stratification theory, opportunity cost and investment income in economics to study. Through the investigation of undergraduates' intention to take the postgraduate entrance examination and the employment situation of undergraduates and postgraduates, and by calculating the opportunity cost, this paper analyzes whether the postgraduate entrance examination is a rational choice and whether it is "chosen" under the system and social environment.

3. Innovate in an all-round way and explore the causes of the problems. This paper analyzes the causes of postgraduate entrance examination fever from macro, meso and micro levels, and discusses the environmental factors that cause postgraduate entrance examination fever from the macro level of higher education system and social stratification system. This paper analyzes the reasons for the deviation of school guidance from the middle level of school employment guidance, and analyzes the reasons for the self-choice of postgraduate groups from the micro level of individual behavior choice, thus answering the "choice" and "being chosen" of postgraduate entrance examination.

Finally, the shortcomings of this paper.

After writing this paper, I learned a lot of useful things and accumulated a lot of experience. However, due to my lack of knowledge and ability, coupled with limited time and energy, there are some shortcomings in the expression and demonstration of many contents, which are far from the expectations of teachers. Many problems need further thinking and exploration. I would like to take this opportunity to reply and sincerely hope that all teachers can put forward valuable opinions and point out my mistakes and shortcomings, and I will accept them with an open mind.

Thanks again to the teachers.
