(B) College experts ask questions
Experts ask questions according to the research content of the dissertation and consider relevant knowledge; The questions asked should be exploratory rather than exploratory, with moderate difficulty and size, easy first and then difficult, step by step, clear and specific, and easy to understand. At the same time, experts should appropriately inspire and guide the defense masters.
(3) Answer expert questions
After writing the master's thesis, you should concentrate on recording the questions raised by the experts in order to make a complete answer; And return the slides? Thesis title? Page so that experts can ask questions accurately. Usually, after a short period of preparation, the master of defense will spend about 30 minutes seriously answering experts' questions.

Thesis defense skills
The thesis defense is not to read the thesis, but to grasp the main points of the thesis, make a summary, concise and vivid exposition, and give a comprehensive and accurate answer to the experts' questions. Thesis defense is a good opportunity to show real talent and practical learning. Master students should master the defense skills and be good at expressing.
(A) the preparation before the thesis defense
1. Be familiar with the paper and write an outline.
Master students must know all the contents of the thesis, especially the main part and conclusion part of the thesis. First of all, it is necessary to clarify the basic viewpoints of the opening remarks and the basic basis of the main arguments; Understand the exact meaning of the main concepts used in this paper and the main contents of the basic principles used. Secondly, we should carefully check whether there are contradictions, fallacies, one-sided or ambiguous places in the paper, and whether there are any places that contradict the party's principles and policies. If you find the above problems, you should make full preparations before replying, that is, make appropriate supplements, modifications and explanations. Thirdly, in the outline of defense, the main points should be determined first, and then the following contents should be listed in logical order around this main point: why this research is carried out, how it is carried out, what findings are made, etc. Finally, according to the defense outline, the relevant contents that need to be briefly discussed are extracted from the paper, highlighting the progress and achievements of the research topic.
2. Scientific prediction, everywhere fortification
First of all, you should prepare a colloquial thesis defense speech in advance, so as to avoid stopping too much because you can't remember the right words at the moment. Secondly, after the thesis defense speech is written, it should be checked many times to ensure the accuracy of the language. Master students can make a pre-defense with the participation of tutors and other relevant personnel. Pre-defense before formal defense is very important, which allows students to make up for the shortcomings of the paper and correct the fallacies in time. Moreover, in the pre-defense, the questions raised by experts are likely to be the questions raised by experts in the formal defense. This will enable national defense students to prepare for the defense questions. Thirdly, we should be familiar with the defense notes of the thesis, so as to ensure that we can get rid of the manuscript and effectively control the presentation time of each part of the content.
3. Choose a chart to enhance the effect
The defense of master's degree thesis usually needs the close combination of lecture notes and multimedia slides. Therefore, when preparing the defense slides, the contents of the slides should be concise and controlled at 25~30 pages; The number of charts used for presentation is less, and charts with strong visibility and obvious trends are used, and different curves are distinguished by different colors. Because the table used in the dissertation is not necessarily suitable for presentation, the table items in the slide should be simplified as much as possible, with no more than 4 lines and no more than 10 items. In addition, because charts are easier to understand than tables, which saves interpretation time, tables that illustrate trends and point out gaps can be replaced by charts [3-5].
(B) the performance of the master's defense meeting
1. Make it clear from the beginning to eliminate tension.
In the life of master students, thesis defense is of great significance, so master students should have enough self-confidence, stand straight, have a loud voice, speak clearly and fluently, and be polite to experts. At the defense meeting, in addition to ensuring the appearance and generosity, we should first try to organize the opening as well as possible and seize the audience's attention from the beginning of the defense; When talking about all parts of the paper, we should cut to the main points as soon as possible and speak at an appropriate speed. Respondents can try to use appropriate expressions and language, including gestures and eyes, to attract the audience and arouse their interest in listening, but they should also avoid over-exaggeration.
Due to the lack of relevant exercises and unfamiliar with the content of the thesis, master students are easily nervous when defending, so that their voices are too low, or their words are vague, and they even dare not look up, fearing to face the eyes of experts. In order to solve these problems, master students should not only make full preparations before replying, but also pay attention to the audience's forehead when replying, which can not only avoid the tension caused by the relative sight, but also give people a feeling of self-confidence.
2. Clear thinking and accurate language
Master students should clear up a clear train of thought before defending their thesis; Answering questions should be targeted, focused, concise and appropriate. When answering a question, you should first carefully examine the question and make it clear at once? How should I answer this question, from what aspects, what are the difficulties and how should I answer it? Wait, you have to. Secondly, the language should be concise, not vague and not used too much? Probably? 、? Maybe? 、? Maybe? Don't repeat the habitual mantra. Otherwise, it is easy to distract the listener. In addition, we should pay attention to the politeness and accuracy of the language in the defense. Of course, we should not use too many modest words to give people the impression that we lack confidence in speaking questions, but should answer questions in a confident, smooth and positive tone.
3. Make an outline with a purpose and repeat it appropriately.
Before discussing a problem, we should first describe the main outline of the problem one by one, and then expand it one by one. This can strengthen the organization, strengthen the memory, make the viewpoints and materials organically unified, so as to achieve better defense effect. At the same time, in order to strengthen the auditory effect, it is an effective skill to repeat the relevant content appropriately. For example, at the end of the defense, summarizing the full text is a special repetition. Finally, briefly repeating the main arguments and conclusions of the paper can deepen the understanding of experts and other listeners. However, it should be noted that the closing statement should not be too long, otherwise it will be too verbose and counterproductive.
4. Control time and organize flexibly
How to finish what you want to say in a limited time and let the audience fully understand what you are saying is the key to your successful defense. First of all, before the formal defense, the respondent should not only give several lectures, but also be familiar with the use of various equipment to avoid being in a hurry and wasting time. Secondly, in the process of defense, the respondent should pay attention to adjusting the speech speed and narrative details at any time, and don't wait until there is no time to find that many important contents have not been said.
Multimedia or slide show is an advanced demonstration tool, and its advantages are increasingly recognized by many scientific workers. The correct use of slides can not only save time and energy, but also enable the respondent to flexibly control the whole defense process; It can also adjust the mood of the audience and make the lecture lively. So the respondents should carefully prepare the slides. The contents of slides should not be too long, try to avoid listing the contents of the paper, have a sense of urgency, and summarize the core contents of the whole paper in the most concise language. Don't have too many items on each slide, but try to make people see it clearly. In addition, when making slides, we should fully consider the clarity, pursue the background color and text to set off each other, and the accompanying commentary should be concise and clear, so as to set aside time for each slide to see clearly.
5. Find out the meaning of the question and answer it truthfully.
In the defense, we should first listen carefully to the experts' questions, carefully understand the meaning of the questions, correctly understand the motives of the experts' questions, and grasp the key answers according to the core of the questions; Don't answer irrelevant questions, it will cause more problems. When defending, the defense master students should keep a modest attitude and state reasons for questions that they are not sure to answer; Some questions raised by individual experts without understanding the main idea of the paper should be answered seriously and explained appropriately. It is especially important to remember that we should respect the defense experts and don't argue too much.
Failure to answer or answer questions in the defense does not necessarily affect the results of the defense. Because sometimes experts see that a respondent's thesis is well written and his defense is good, they will deliberately ask questions with academic difficulties and many arguments like 1-2, and have in-depth exchanges with the respondent to further examine the respondent's research ability. Therefore, for questions that cannot be answered or understood clearly, national defense master students should tell the experts truthfully, or express their understanding, and never pretend to understand or deal with them at will.
