Graduation thesis defense is an important form of organized, prepared, planned and evaluated papers. In order to do a good job in the defense of graduation thesis, the school, the defense Committee and the respondent (the author who wrote the graduation thesis) should make full preparations before the defense meeting. At the defense meeting, the examiner should try his best to find out whether the level shown in the paper is true or not. Students should not only prove that their arguments are right, but also prove that the teacher is wrong.

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 specific situation of 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.
