The difference between external evaluation and blind evaluation of graduate thesis
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.
Colleges and universities in general, 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.
