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 outlining 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).

The students answered all the questions one by one and left. 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. When recalling students, the main defense teacher should summarize the situation in the process of thesis and defense for students, affirm their advantages and disadvantages, point out their mistakes or shortcomings, make necessary supplements and guidance, and announce the approval or disapproval of students at the same time. As for the results of the paper, it is generally not announced on the spot.
