What is blind evaluation of master's thesis?

Blind evaluation: a system of organizing expert group evaluation: anonymous submission, that is, the evaluation tutor does not know who the author of the paper is, and the academic degree office of the school sends the paper to an external unit for evaluation, hiding the names of students and tutors, so it is called blind evaluation, also known as blind evaluation. The reviewer doesn't know which student's paper it is. If the school sends it for review, about 10% will be blindly reviewed. Because it is anonymous, it may fail. 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 evaluation 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 review: the paper is sent to experts from other units for review. Some schools are managed by degree offices, 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, and you can't graduate if you fail to reply. 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.

Some doctors and masters can't graduate, but the proportion of masters is very small, and some have graduated, 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%. Doctoral dissertations are all blind, and of course there are those who can't graduate. Especially good schools pay more attention to the quality of postgraduate training.

Shanghai draws a certain proportion of applied graduate students to participate in the blind trial. Doctoral students are subject to compulsory blind trial. As long as they apply for a doctoral degree, they must participate in blind trial. Blind evaluation means that the content and topic of the paper can't involve your tutor's name and your name. Generally, it is sent to foreign schools for review, and the reviewers will not know who this paper belongs to 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.

Detailed rules for the implementation of blind inspection of doctoral and master's dissertations in Jiangnan University

First, the principle of blind trial

(a) follow the relevant principles and provisions of the "Regulations on Academic Degrees in People's Republic of China (PRC)";

(two) is conducive to objectively reflect the real situation of the quality of graduate education in each degree point;

(three) to strengthen the construction of degree programs, establish and improve the quality assurance and supervision mechanism of postgraduate education;

(four) focused, simple.

Second, the object of blind trial

The object of blind examination of thesis is the full-time graduate students who were preparing for thesis defense in our school.

Third, the blind trial method.

1. Postgraduates participating in the double-blind review: doctoral students 100%, each submitting three copies. Master students (including those applying for equivalent academic degrees) shall be submitted in duplicate for preliminary examination according to 3 ~ 5% of the number of respondents who applied for dissertation in that year.

2. According to the distribution of disciplines and professional graduate students who apply for dissertation defense every year, graduate department formulates a blind test plan and submits it to the principal in charge for approval.

3. According to the blind trial plan, graduate department draws up the list of graduate students who need to be blind-audited, and after checking with the list of graduate students who apply for thesis defense, informs me and the college to which the subject belongs to be blind-audited.

4. Graduate students who have been drawn out to participate in the blind test should make a paper in the prescribed format (the name of the author and tutor is hidden) within two days after receiving the notice, with master's thesis in duplicate and doctoral thesis in triplicate, and submit it to the Graduate Office.

Four, blind trial work requirements

(a) blind reviewers are all borne by peer experts outside the school, and graduate department is responsible for extracting them from the expert database.
