After the graduation design (thesis) is completed, a defense should be made to check whether the students meet the basic requirements and objectives of graduation design and measure the quality of graduation design (thesis). Students orally summarize the main work and research results of graduation project (thesis) and answer questions raised by members of the defense Committee. Defense is to assess students' professional quality, work ability, oral expression ability and adaptability; It is to judge students' understanding of knowledge; The last face-to-face education is about the development prospect of this subject and the direction of students' efforts.
First, the preparation before defense
Students should make full ideological and material preparations before the defense, build up confidence, overcome nervousness, prepare necessary speeches and auxiliary props in the defense process, and improve the quality of defense.
1. Psychological preparation
1. 1 clarify the purpose and significance of the defense.
(1) Identify the authenticity of graduation design (thesis). Defense is the last exam for students before graduation, and its primary purpose is to examine the authenticity of students' graduation design (thesis).
(2) Evaluate the quality of graduation design (thesis). On the basis of distinguishing the authenticity of the paper, the depth and breadth of students' research topics are further investigated and the quality of the paper is evaluated. Graduation defense has a complete, fair and objective scoring standard. Including the comprehensive application of basic theory, basic skills and professional knowledge; Creative research methods and achievements; Academic level and practical significance; Organization and accuracy of expression analysis; Shortcomings and problems in graduation design (thesis); Work ability, attitude, workload, etc. Whether it meets the basic requirements and whether it has outstanding performance, the members of the defense team will score according to the specific situation of the students.
(3) To examine students' ability of improvisation, language expression and active thinking. Students should be calm, clear, fully benefited, clear-headed and logical when telling themselves and answering questions. Listen carefully to the teacher's questions, grasp the center, think quickly and answer correctly.
1.2 understand the relevant provisions and requirements of defense.
The defense of graduation thesis is an important task to obtain a degree. College (department) graduation design leading institutions set up defense committees. Instructors can join the defense Committee, but they can't be the chairman of the defense Committee. Students should avoid and not participate in expressing their opinions when defending. The defense Committee will distribute the students' papers to the members of the defense Committee half a month before the defense. Every defense teacher should treat every paper seriously and responsibly, read it carefully and prepare the topic.
The questions raised by the defense teacher have certain directionality, which are mainly divided into the identification of the authenticity of the paper, the identification of the degree of knowledge mastery, and the judgment of the depth of the paper research. There are also certain principles for doing problems. Grasp the difficulty and scope of the purpose and combine the difficulty and depth. The number of questions (general direction) is generally around 3.
1.3 psychological preparation
Defense is the only way for students to be allowed to graduate and get a degree, and it is the last chance to study at school when they leave school and go to society. As long as it is taken seriously, it is not difficult to pass.
Conceit and inferiority are both undesirable. Facing the defense with contempt, being relaxed, careless and distracted will inevitably lead to difficulty in concentration, forgetting to tell stories, arrogance and laziness in answering questions. This conceit will make us shoot ourselves in the foot. Inferiority will make the defense lose its standard, and even make it impossible to express one's thoughts normally because of timidity, with words upside down, stagnant thinking, passive attitude towards Nuo Nuo, and unable to reflect one's true ability and level.
Establish self-confidence, relax appropriately, don't give yourself too much pressure, be positive and enthusiastic, face it calmly and treat it with a normal heart. Before the defense, hold a small test meeting, simulate questions, try to adapt to the defense environment and overcome fear and tension.
2. Material preparation
(1) Papers, references and defense outlines
The defense is different from the general oral examination, and the preparation work must be all-round. When you enter the defense venue, you should bring the manuscript, defense outline and reference materials. The preparation of these three materials is particularly important.
Take good care of the test paper and read it carefully before replying. Both the self-statement in the defense and the teacher's questions are based on the content of the paper, and the key contents in the paper must be kept in mind.
Collect the reference materials related to the paper, sort them out and index them for easy search. Reference materials should be as complete as possible, read and study carefully, broaden your horizons and reserve rich knowledge.
As an indispensable material data in defense, the defense outline directly affects the quality of defense. The writing of defense outline has its special requirements and essentials. It is the fusion and refinement of papers and reference materials. On the surface, the length of the outline is quite small compared with the paper, but its content and information are the sum of the paper and reference materials.
(2) Auxiliary preparation
15 minute self-presentation, used alone? Say? This boring way is not easy to achieve good results. In the process of defense, we should pay attention to attract the attention of the defense teacher, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the defense team members, and use lively language to achieve good results; Visual images can often make people have a deeper understanding. If visual response is used to convey the content of graduation design thesis, coupled with language explanation, the clever combination of the two will make the defense colorful. So you can choose pictures, tables, photos, slides, projections and so on. Material used as an auxiliary defense.
Second, the defense outline
Drawing up the defense outline helps to clarify the defense ideas, help students organize their language, and explain the background, purpose, research methods and achievements of graduation project (thesis) in the correct order.
2. 1 Contents of defense outline
The outline of defense should mainly include the following four contents: the background of the research topic and the main significance of the research topic; What is the key to study this topic; Innovative methods to solve problems independently; Research foundation and results.
(1) Be familiar with the papers you have written and extract the main contents from them.
List your basic views, opinions, main arguments, conclusions, theoretical value and practical application significance on this issue. The above is the core content of this paper from the paper itself. These contents are an important part of the defense outline.
(2) Understand the' background' of the problem studied, the development status of the problem, and what is the reason for studying the problem.
A full understanding of the background, present situation and origin of a topic is helpful to answer the teacher's questions in the defense.
(3) Collect relevant materials and master relevant knowledge.
This work is an extension of the topic selection. Students should not only be familiar with the research situation of the subject, but also expand the scope and extend it to related fields.
(4) Sources of reference materials
The research of any subject can't be invented out of thin air, and it is the result of continuing to expand on the basis of previous research. Therefore, it is necessary to summarize, summarize and absorb the previous data, and then innovate on this basis. We should collect the reference materials of the research topic as comprehensively and accurately as possible.
(5) The author's work in this topic.
Smaller projects may be completed by one person, while complex research content requires multi-person cooperation. Each student's work focus is different, and the graduation project requires each student to complete the corresponding module independently. Students should concentrate on what they have done independently, which is the main basis for evaluating the difficulty of the paper. Students should have a clear understanding of the whole project and the parts studied by other collaborators. Although details are not involved, the overall framework and structure must be clear.
