The defense of master's thesis is the most important link in the postgraduate stage, which is a strict test of graduate students' research ability and academic level, and also one of the key links to evaluate whether graduate students meet the master's degree award.
Generally speaking, after the defense is passed, it still needs to be revised. Here, I will explain in detail the main contents and steps of revising the paper after the defense.
First, review the teacher's feedback. After the defense, the school will announce the final opinion of the judging teacher as soon as possible, and graduate students need to read the teacher's feedback carefully, including the evaluation, revision and suggestions of each part.
Try to be clear about what improvements and adjustments you need to make. At the same time, you can consult your tutor or other related professionals and make a modification plan according to their suggestions and guidance.
Secondly, confirm the way and time of modification. Graduate students need to communicate with the tutor as soon as possible after obtaining the revision opinions from the peer reviewers, confirm the way and time of revision, make the revision plan and determine the deadline for completing the revision.
Then, the thesis is revised as a whole. In the overall revision of the paper, it is necessary to comprehensively and systematically check and revise the written paper, including format, grammar, background of topic selection, literature review, theoretical assumptions, empirical methods and conclusions. It is necessary to grasp the degree of improving the quality of the paper and conforming to the habits of the public, and avoid modifying a certain aspect too deliberately.
Finally, targeted amendments. According to the feedback from the marking teacher, the problems existing in the paper were further revised.
These targeted changes include modifying the title, the structure and organization of the text, and deepening the analysis. It should be noted that targeted modification needs to take into account the effect and time-consuming cost of modification, and cannot go to the other extreme and cause new problems for itself.
Conclusion: After the thesis is defended, it is still necessary to revise the thesis. Graduate students need to take the teacher's request for revision seriously, make a revision plan according to the feedback opinions and suggestions, and gradually realize the revision.
At the same time, in the process of revision, we should maintain a good attitude and reasonable time planning, actively deal with all kinds of difficulties and challenges, so that the dissertation can present the research results more perfectly and reach the standard of degree awarding.
