Graduation thesis defense is an indispensable part of education and teaching plan, and it is a supplementary form of examining graduation thesis (homework). The following are the notes and main points of my graduation thesis defense. I hope you like them.
The thesis defense team is generally composed of three to five experts, who raise unclear, detailed, incomplete and inappropriate points in the article at the defense meeting.
The main purpose of graduation thesis defense is to examine the authenticity of the article, the depth of the writer's knowledge and whether the article conforms to the genre format, so as to further improve it. Through the defense, students can let experts know more about the basis of the article and the practical ability to deal with the topic. This is a rare opportunity for students to exercise and improve, and should be regarded as the "starting point" of academic research.
(A) the preparation of defense
Students can choose two or three questions from the following questions (question 4~ 10) according to their own reality, and prepare the report (question 1~3 is required). Generally, the time does not exceed 10 minute. It is best to recite the content without reading the manuscript paper, and the language is concise and smooth.
1. Why did you choose this topic (or topic)? What is the academic value or practical significance of studying and writing it?
2. Explain the history and present situation of this topic, that is, what research has been done, what achievements have been made, what problems have not been solved, what new ideas have been put forward and what problems have been solved.

7. Facial expression is very important in the whole process. Show your best side!
I still have some experience. Let me publish it again. When reading other people's papers and defense slides, I found a small detail that many people didn't notice: the English and numbers appearing in the slides should be used in formal occasions and look more comfortable. Many people only pay attention to the unification of Chinese fonts and ignore English fonts. The whole paper or slide is full of English fonts, which looks strange. The most common thing is that both Chinese and English use Song style, and I don't know how to change English into new Roman font, hehe. There are also some special characters inserted irregularly. Maybe you don't think these little things will affect the overall situation, but as far as I know, some professors still pay more attention to this aspect. My boss is very professional in this field. He can tell at a glance which letter in your paper does not meet the requirements. Hey, hey, it makes me sweat!
Therefore, I advise you to pay attention to the editing of these English fonts, especially in the defense slides!
In addition, if it is a lady's defense, I personally think it is necessary to tidy up my appearance, if not glamorous, at least refreshing and pleasing to the eye. If you have no experience in makeup and clothing matching, you may wish to consult an expert in advance. Go to the image design studio to put on a proper light makeup and do a hairstyle. It's really no good. Maybe this is the only time in your life, and it is worthwhile to spend dozens of dollars! Anyway, I saw some senior sisters dressed like housewives with clear soup and noodles to reply, and I wondered if the judges would also wonder: Can she finish the project even if she can't clean herself up?
Every year, before the students' thesis defense, there are always students who know nothing about the content and skills of the defense and anxiously ask how to prepare the defense. This is directly related to the fact that senior students don't take part in the defense and don't actively prepare their thesis defense.
The purpose of asking students to defend their papers is definitely not to deliberately make things difficult for students, so as to show how tall the teacher is. The purpose of thesis defense is only one, to check the students' mastery and understanding of the thesis topic. Generally speaking, there will be no fewer than three questions for the teachers who take part in the thesis defense, but all the questions are within the academic scope of the thesis. Generally, they won't and can't ask questions that have nothing to do with the content of the paper, which is the scope of the topic put forward by the defense teacher.
In this large range, the main defense teacher will generally ask questions from three aspects: testing authenticity, testing ability and making up for deficiencies.
(1) Authenticity test is to ask questions around the authenticity of graduation thesis.
(2) Test level refers to the problems related to the main content of graduation thesis, such as testing students' level, whether the basic knowledge is solid and how deep the knowledge is, mainly the application of basic concepts, basic theories and basic principles involved in the thesis.
(3) To make up for the deficiency refers to the weak links in the graduation thesis, such as unclear, not detailed, incomplete, inaccurate and contradictory places in the thesis, which require the author to supplement or explain in the defense.
According to the purpose and content of thesis defense, students should at least do the following before thesis defense:
1. Make clear the viewpoints, key problems, solutions and innovations of your paper. Try to state the above questions in concise language, which is an essential skill when you present your paper. This is also the easiest place for the defense teacher to check the authenticity.
2. The most important point: we must highlight the innovation of the paper. Sometimes it is not that there is no innovation, but that the expression is not outstanding enough. Carefully consider the originality of your topic, don't be afraid, and dare to speak. Especially for doctors, no innovation is basically failure!
3. Be fully prepared before the defense, and list the questions that the teacher may ask. In the process of defense, the logic of language is very important. The important thing to pay attention to is to remember: if you don't know the answer, don't talk nonsense, which will not only make you laugh, but also embarrass you.
Defense skills of graduation thesis
After the topic selection, topic opening, design and writing, the graduation thesis enters the defense link, and the defense of graduation thesis is the last level in the graduation thesis process. If the preparation is not sufficient, it will be a waste of effort in case of failure.
You must be familiar with the content of your graduation thesis before you reply.
The fundamental purpose of graduation thesis defense is: in public, colleges and universities are not familiar with the authenticity of each student's graduation thesis, and do not deeply understand and analyze the basic concepts, principles, general idea, structure and abstract involved in the thesis, which will inevitably lead to a passive situation of speculation and luck. Therefore, students should fully prepare and attach importance to the defense of graduation thesis, be familiar with the thesis and related materials, and prepare for the defense; Predict the topic and prepare the defense.
You have to be quite familiar with the layout and content of the paper before you can answer like a stream.
Defensive skill
Through several years' practice and observation as a thesis defense committee, I think the following questions should be paid attention to in graduation thesis defense, which is conducive to improving grades.
Familiar with the content
As a student who will take part in thesis defense, he must first have a deep understanding and comprehensive familiarity with the contents of his graduation thesis. This is to prepare for answering questions that members of the thesis defense Committee may ask about the depth and related knowledge of the thesis. The so-called "deep understanding" means having a horizontal grasp of the graduation thesis. For example, in the thesis entitled "Creating famous brand products and developing national industries", the thesis defense committee may ask what is the relationship between "national brand" and "famous brand". Although "national brands" may not be involved in the graduation thesis, students who take part in the thesis defense must have a "comprehensive understanding" and a "profound understanding" of their graduation thesis, otherwise there will be an embarrassing situation.
Chart episode
Any graduation thesis, whether it is liberal arts or science, involves the possibility of expressing the views of the thesis with charts to some extent, so I think we should be prepared. Charts are not only an intuitive way to express opinions, but also a means to adjust the atmosphere of the thesis defense meeting. Especially for the members of the private thesis defense committee, listening for a long time will inevitably be rejected, and they will no longer accept and absorb what you have discussed, which will inevitably affect your graduation thesis defense performance. Therefore, you should properly insert charts or other media similar to charts in the process of thesis defense to improve your thesis defense performance.
Moderate language flow
Students who defend their graduation thesis are usually the first time. Numerous facts have proved that they often speak faster and faster when defending their papers, so that members of the graduation defense Committee can't hear clearly, which affects their graduation defense results. Therefore, in the process of thesis defense, graduation defense students must pay attention to the speed of language flow, combine urgency with slowness, and not bombard the audience like a barrage.
eye movement
When a graduate defends a thesis, he can generally leave the manuscript, leave it half-time, or leave it at all. But no matter which way, we should pay attention to our eyes, so that our eyes often glance at the members of the thesis defense Committee and the students attending the meeting. This is a way for you to make eye contact with your audience and make them interested in your topic. At the graduation thesis defense meeting, because of the long listening time, members will inevitably be distracted. At this time, you will politely "pull" their gods back with the projection of your eyes, and let the members' thoughts follow your thoughts.
Body language assistance
Although the defense of graduation thesis is mainly oral like other thesis defense, proper use of body language will assist your thesis defense and make your thesis defense more effective. Especially if the gesture language is used properly, it will be confident, powerful and irrefutable. On the contrary, if you always stand up straight or bow your head in the process of thesis defense, even if your thesis is reasonable in structure, novel in theme and correct in conclusion, the effect of thesis defense will be greatly affected. Therefore, we must pay attention to the use of body language when defending our graduation thesis.
time control
Generally speaking, in a more formal thesis defense meeting, there is a requirement for the defense time of the debater. Therefore, students who defend their graduation thesis should pay attention to the mastery of the time of thesis defense. The time control of thesis defense should be strong, and the deadline will end immediately. This seems to be well prepared, and I am familiar with the mastery and control of the content, which is easy to leave a good impression on the members of the graduation thesis defense Committee. Therefore, before the graduation thesis defense, we should have an estimate of the content of the defense. Of course, the flexible reduction or increase in the process of graduation thesis defense is also a manifestation of the time control of thesis defense, which needs attention.
Stick to the original text
There are often many debaters when defending graduation thesis on campus. Therefore, for the members of the graduation thesis defense committee, it is impossible for them to have a comprehensive understanding of the content of each graduation thesis, and some may even be unfamiliar with the topic of the graduation thesis. Therefore, in the whole process of thesis defense, it is very important to deduce the topic around the theme. In addition, members are generally easy to ask questions about the theme of the paper. If you can focus on the theme of the thesis from beginning to end, it will make the judges think clearly and affirm your graduation thesis.
Personal use
In the process of graduation thesis defense, it will inevitably involve the use of names. I suggest using the first person as much as possible, such as "I" and "we". Even if the materials in the thesis are quoted from others, we use "we have quoted" data or materials, especially the graduation thesis is often called self-made, so we should use the first person "I" and "we" more decisively and boldly. If so, it will give people the impression that something is yours and you have done a lot of work!

etiquette
In the process of defense, in addition to the above points, this paper also needs to pay attention. Although it has little effect, it can leave a good impression on the defense teacher. Generally speaking, the defense teacher chooses you when you are evenly matched with others.
Defensive end
In addition, after the graduation thesis defense, the author should listen carefully to the judgment of the defense Committee, further analyze and think about the opinions put forward by the defense teacher, and summarize the experience and lessons of thesis writing.
