The practice of the School of Continuing Education of South China Agricultural University is that only students who want to get a bachelor's degree (that is, pass the "degree English" exam) need to take the stage to defend, and students who have not got a bachelor's degree do not need to take the stage to defend, but sit in the classroom and make a written defense.

If you come to the stage with a bachelor's degree, the process is as follows: (1) Students summarize the full text of their graduation thesis, holding the thesis in their hands and not reading it. (2) The teacher asks questions. (3) Go home and revise your graduation thesis according to the teacher's questions and defects.

As for the defense process of the self-taught college entrance examination, it is not clear.
