First of all, adequate preparation is the key to successful defense. Before graduation thesis defense, we should fully review and summarize our research contents and methods. Familiar with every detail of the paper, have a deep understanding of relevant literature and theory. In addition, it is necessary to predict the possible problems in the defense in advance and prepare the corresponding answers. Adequate preparation can enhance self-confidence and improve the ability to answer questions.
Second, demonstrate clear logic and organizational skills. Pay attention to the logic and coherence of the argument when defending. It is necessary to state the purpose, research questions, research methods, research results and conclusions of the paper. Express your research ideas and opinions in clear and concise language, so that the judges and the audience can understand the key points involved in your research.
Third, answer questions actively. During the defense, the judges may ask some challenging and in-depth questions. For these questions, keep calm and think before you answer. If there is no answer, you can express your uncertainty appropriately, indicating that you will further study and discuss. Answering questions positively can show your thinking depth and academic ability.
Fourth, respect the evaluation and opinions of the judges. Defense is a process of communication and discussion, and different judges may have different views and opinions. We should respect the opinions of the judges and accept their criticisms and suggestions with an open mind. Don't argue or resolutely defend your point of view, but listen patiently with an open mind and seriously consider their comments, so as to further improve your papers and research.
Finally, show confidence and a positive attitude. Defense is an opportunity to show your research achievements and academic ability. You should confidently and methodically state the main contents and contributions of the paper. Try to keep a positive and optimistic attitude, and don't be nervous and anxious. In the face of the judges' questions, we should remain calm and confident, and show our thinking ability and academic accomplishment when answering questions.
In a word, graduation thesis defense is an important part of academic communication. The key to success is to make full preparations, demonstrate clear logical and organizational skills, actively answer questions, respect the evaluation and opinions of judges, and show self-confidence and positive attitude. I hope these experiences will be helpful to the students who are about to defend their graduation thesis.
