The blind evaluation system is to send dissertations without the author's name to experts who can't know the author for evaluation, so the score should be the most objective.
General colleges and universities, especially graduate schools, have relevant regulations on blind examination of papers on a regular basis, and most of them randomly select a certain number of papers for blind examination.
External auditing refers to sending papers to experts from other units for auditing. Some schools are managed by the degree office in a unified way, while others are guided by tutors. 90% of the experts appointed by the tutor submit papers for review, and they can only pass because of the good relationship between the experts and the tutor.
The right of reply can only be obtained after the blind trial and the external trial are passed. If you fail the defense, you can't graduate. As long as two experts pass the blind trial or two experts pass the external trial, they have the right of reply. The defense Committee does not include experts from external auditors, and only half of them can graduate.
Neither doctors nor masters can graduate, but the proportion of masters is very small, and there are also unfinished masters, but the proportion is less than 1%. All doctoral dissertations and some master's dissertations are sent to other units for blind evaluation by the degree office before the defense, so as to ensure the quality of the defense thesis. In addition, the provincial and municipal education committees will randomly select a certain proportion of papers and invite other units to do blind evaluation to check the quality of postgraduate training. All doctoral and master's dissertations can only participate in the defense if they pass the blind evaluation and external review, and then the defense Committee decides whether to pass the defense and award the degree. Finally, the academic degree committee of the unit will decide whether to grant the degree by secret ballot according to the quality of the thesis, course performance, ideological expression and whether to publish the thesis. If it is approved, it will be publicized for 3 months before obtaining the degree certificate. Those who do not graduate with a doctorate or master's degree generally have no academic qualifications and degrees. Some graduates have academic qualifications and no degree, while others have academic qualifications and degrees.
The proportion of blind examination of master's thesis in different schools is different, generally between 30% and 50%, and doctoral thesis is blind examination. Of course, there are also those who can't graduate. Especially good schools pay more attention to the quality of postgraduate training.
Blind evaluation means that the content and topic of the paper can't involve your tutor's name and your name, and it is usually sent to foreign schools for evaluation. The reviewer will not know whose paper this is and who is the instructor of this paper. So it's called blind trial. Blind tests, especially doctors, must be taken seriously, but then again, taking them seriously will basically pass (master's thesis). The doctoral thesis itself requires high academic level, so it is difficult to pass.
Measures for the Administration of External Examination of Postgraduate Thesis
First, the paper submission time and requirements
(1) Full-time academic master students and full-time professional master students should finish and hand in their papers at the latest one month before the defense, and the tutor should review and write detailed academic comments as required; At the same time, the Academic Degree Evaluation Sub-committee invited two experts with associate professor (or equivalent technical title) or above outside the school to review the paper, evaluate the score and fill in the comments in detail. External experts as tutors for master students (professional degree students are not required to do this).
(two) the completion time, the number of judges and the evaluation method of part-time professional master's degree thesis shall be implemented in accordance with the "Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Work of Granting Master's Degree to Graduates with the Same Academic Ability".
(3) Doctoral students should complete and hand in their papers at least two months before the defense, and the tutor should review and write detailed academic comments as required. The external review of doctoral dissertations will be completed in two parts: first, the graduate school of the school will hire three experts with professors or equivalent technical titles to review the dissertations and fill in the opinions in detail; Two, at the same time, the College Degree Evaluation Sub-committee hired three experts with professors or equivalent technical titles in related disciplines and majors to review and fill in the opinions in detail. All three reviewers should be off-campus experts and doctoral supervisors.
The second is the requirements for the reviewers of dissertations.
Review quality according to the following aspects:
1. Whether the paper has new or creative ideas;
2. Theoretical significance and practical value of the research results;
3. Whether the demonstration is sufficient and reliable;
4. Master basic theories, professional knowledge, research methods and skills;
5. Advantages and disadvantages of scientific and logical writing.
In addition, the reviewer should also put forward specific opinions on whether the thesis can be submitted for defense and whether it reaches the academic level of the degree pursued by the applicant.
Third, the evaluation results processing method
(1) Dissertations of full-time academic master students, full-time professional master students, part-time professional master students, and graduate students with the same academic level: among the two reviewers hired outside the school, those whose expert opinions are "agree to participate in the thesis defense" or "can participate in the thesis defense with slight modifications" can directly participate in the defense; If one reviewer's opinion is that "it basically meets the basic requirements of the dissertation, and it is suggested to re-evaluate it after major revision" or "it does not meet the requirements of the dissertation and refuses to participate in the defense", an additional reviewer should be hired to review it. If the opinion of the additional assessor is "agree to participate in the defense" or "participate in the defense after slight modification", you can participate in the defense normally through external assessment. If the supplementary review comments are "basically in line with the basic requirements of the dissertation, it is suggested to re-evaluate after major revision" or "not in line with the requirements of the dissertation, refusing to participate in the defense", the applicant's application for the degree is invalid and needs to re-apply for the degree after 6 months. The procedures and requirements for the second degree application are the same as those for the first time. If the second application is still unsuccessful, it will be treated as withdrawal.
(2) Doctoral Dissertation: The external audit of doctoral dissertations organized by the graduate school and the Institute of Physical Education should meet the relevant requirements before entering the defense stage. No matter the external audit organized by schools or colleges, there are three or two reviewers who think the dissertation is "qualified", "good" or "excellent", and their opinions are "agreed to reply" or "agreed to reply after revision". If two or three of the three reviewers think that the dissertation is "unqualified" and the opinion is "disagree with the defense", the doctoral student will reapply for the degree after a delay of six months; The procedures and requirements for the second degree application are the same as those for the first time. If the second application is still unsuccessful, it will be treated as withdrawal.
The external audit of graduate thesis is generally sent to the brother colleges which have a good relationship with the tutors of our school. Tutors will show mercy to each other and basically pass all the time, but some of them fail for various reasons, so we still need to understand the requirements and methods of external examination of graduate papers in order to pass the external examination of graduate papers smoothly.
