After the dissertation is started, if the original topic cannot be studied due to research work or other reasons, with the consent of the tutor and the training unit (tutor group), the topic can be re-selected, and the new topic must be re-opened for defense, and it will be reported to graduate department for the record after passing.

You are not allowed to change the theme after opening the report. If the opening report has been submitted, it is best not to modify the research content, because the research content is an opening report, and the modification of the most important part of the research content is equivalent to subverting the original content, which means that the submitted material is meaningless, so try not to modify it.

Precautions for opening the report:

1, the goal of learning. Only when the goal is clear and the focus is prominent can we ensure the specific research direction and eliminate the interference of various factors in the research process.

2. The content of the study. Determining the specific research content according to the research goal requires the research content to be comprehensive, detailed and thorough, general and vague, and even takes the research purpose and significance as the content, which often makes the research process passive.

3. Research methods. After the topic is established, the most important thing is the method. If we cast pearls before swine and apply methods regardless of the object, mistakes will be inevitable. On the contrary, even if we adopt a new perspective and new methods, we can often draw innovative conclusions.
