Master's degree thesis sampling will randomly sample all master's degree-granting theses within a certain period of time, and each master's degree thesis may be extracted. Once a year, sample the papers awarded master's degrees within a specific range. According to the degree-granting unit and the scale of awarding master's degrees in disciplines, the sampling number of papers is determined according to the sampling ratio of 3-5%.

The sampling inspection of master's degree thesis is divided into three parts: sub-evaluation, overall evaluation and evaluation opinions. Evaluate each sub-item according to four grades of "excellent", "good", "average" and "poor"; Overall evaluation: divided into "qualified" and "unqualified" two grades. If it is unqualified, the specific reasons shall be given in the third Evaluation Opinion; Evaluation opinion: Experts should explain the reasons for papers whose overall evaluation is "unqualified".

Each master's degree thesis is reviewed by three experts from other provinces. Dissertations evaluated as "unqualified" by two or more experts will be regarded as "problematic dissertations". Among the three experts, 1 dissertation with "unqualified" comments will be sent to two peer experts for re-evaluation. If 1 or more experts' opinions are "unqualified" in the re-evaluation, the paper will be regarded as "problematic dissertation".

If the thesis fails, the degree will be revoked.
