Before the thesis defense, it is necessary to find out which viewpoints are inherited or borrowed from other people's research results, which are your own innovative viewpoints, and how these new viewpoints and new opinions are formed. The following is the basic topic of 10 thesis defense that I shared. For your reference, I hope to help friends in need.
1, communicate with the judges in advance
After sending the paper to the judges, you should ask their office for advice before replying and ask them to point out the problems. He will probably tell you the questions that have been prepared at the reply site. Even if you know this question like the back of your hand, don't give a comprehensive answer at once, because if you answer all the questions, it will change other questions on the spot. After returning home, he will sort out his doubts about the paper, communicate with his tutor and think about countermeasures. This is equivalent to asking the teacher for questions before the exam, and you must do it if you have the conditions.
2.PPT should be concise and lively.
Don't exceed 30 PPT, and the quick switching during the presentation will dazzle the judges. The content is mainly charts, avoid full-screen text, don't look at the manuscript at PPT when defending, the font size of the text should not be less than 28, only express key conclusions, and don't appear conjunctions such as "because, so". PPT style should be concise and avoid flashy and unnecessary animation. Engineering teachers generally hate flashy things, so don't give them a grandiose impression.
3. Remember the opening 5 minutes.
I will be nervous when I reply. I must remember the first five minutes of my speech. After the first five minutes of my reply pass smoothly, my nervousness will disappear, and then I will naturally transition to the state of explanation. Pay attention to two problems: First, you should control your speech speed in the first five minutes, and secretly remind yourself to slow down a little, because when you are nervous, your speech speed will become faster, and you feel a little slow, which is normal for others to listen; Two, five minutes later, the content should also have a lecture, but it must not be recited, and it should be explained according to the logical relationship of the lecture.
4. Look the judges in the eye
Be confident and natural in the process of defense. Don't stare at PPT or speech, look into the eyes of each judge in turn, so that he thinks you are staring at him. Pay attention to three problems: first, don't pace on the podium, this is the mode of lectures by industry professionals, not the mode of students making reports; Second, hold the pointer with your left hand when the PPT screen is on the left, and hold the pointer with your right hand when it is on the right. Don't turn your back on the judges. Third, the pointer should be placed horizontally after use, and it should not be placed on the rostrum to point to the judges. The judges with acute phobia draw your circle in their minds.
5. Remember several complicated formulas.
Find out the complex formulas related to the paper. These formulas should be familiar to the judges, but they should not be memorized. When you report to this point, it seems that you can't make it clear in words. After pausing 1 sec, turn around and write this formula on the blackboard, or prepare a map in advance, and draw the coordinates, scales and units clearly. And the judges will also sigh in their hearts that "the foundation is quite solid and stronger than the labor and capital of that year."
6. Don't sell yourself short and expose its shortcomings.
The mainland graduates hundreds of thousands of graduate students a year, and every paper requires innovation. Where can there be so many real innovations? Engineering and science are also different. Innovation mostly uses new methods to apply scientific theory to engineering realization, which can be regarded as "applied innovation" at most. Moreover, it is almost impossible for a superfine product to invent new methods. Don't say such big words as "domestic initiative, filling the gap".
According to the defense procedure, there are three or four innovations in the paper, but even if you read it once, the judges will not argue, but if you over-explain and brag and make the judges question, you will be passive. Any new method will be flawed. After stating the innovation of the paper, we should point out the shortcomings of our own methods. The judges and teachers will think you are sincere. If you don't say it yourself, they will point it out rudely and speak it out more actively.
7. Don't belittle other theoretical methods.
It is often not objective for students to belittle other theoretical methods in order to highlight the superiority of their new theories and methods, which will arouse the resentment of judges and teachers. The correct way is to analyze the inapplicability of other methods to specific problems within the research scope of this paper, rather than belittling the methods themselves. If the judge teacher has made achievements in your demeaning method, you don't know it as a newcomer, and other judges know it. This teacher knows that other judges know him, and you demean him on stage, which is equivalent to slapping him in the face in public. Can you have good fruit to eat?
8. Don't argue with the judge
When debating academic issues with any teacher in private, there will be an equal exchange of magnanimity, but the situation at the defense site is different. The defense is not only for students, but also for judges. A group of accomplished peer experts sat together. When they speak, they think more about the reactions of other judges and teachers than the reactions of students. I'm talking to you, but I'm fighting with other judges. Even if the judge's opinion is determined to be wrong, he can't reject the other party fiercely and bluntly, otherwise it will greatly hurt his face and may also usher in his gentle killing. Please remember: you are a rookie, and he can easily dig a hole and bury you. Don't force him to make big moves.
9. If you encounter serial problems, you should transfer them in time.
Judges often point out the problems in paper writing, such as inconsistent chart style and irregular notes, which should be acknowledged modestly and not refuted. The subtext of the rebuttal is "the standard of writing your thesis is wrong". It is ok for a professor to admit that his academic level is not high, but it is public humiliation to admit that he does not know how to write a thesis. In addition, you should be highly alert to serial problems, which means that the judge has already disagreed with you. When answering the judge's second question, try to stop this topic. You can use terminologies such as "The teacher's criticism is right, and I will try my best to correct it in the follow-up study".
10, please be sure to have a tutor present.
Many students' graduation projects are led by two directors, but a more senior front desk director must be present at the defense site. Many students defended together, and the judges could not appreciate them all. They will always catch the students stepping on it, and the chances of students who are not present will be much greater.
There are always difficult questions to answer in the process of defense. If you admit it humbly, don't try to defend it. You can keep an eye on the judge who has the best relationship with your mentor, and then he will help you out. If it doesn't work, just stare at your tutor, and he can make up with you in a few words.

9. Adjourn temporarily.
10. The defense committee held a meeting (the respondent withdrew) and conducted the following agenda:
(1) The defense committee discusses and comments on the paper level, defense, course study and scientific research;
(2) According to the defense situation, the defense committee will vote by secret ballot, and grade the test paper and defense situation according to 100; The author's comprehensive ability performance, thesis writing and defense, etc. You can award the prize after confirmation.
(3) The Minister of National Defense drafts and reads out the resolutions of the National Defense Commission; The members of the defense discuss, revise and adopt resolutions;

Academic review of papers, according to the evaluation items (topic selection and summary, academic level and innovation of papers, performance of comprehensive ability of papers, writing and defense of papers), write comments on papers respectively, especially on the depth and breadth of basic theories and cutting-edge knowledge mastered by authors and the innovation of papers.
2. Voting and evaluation results (whether it reaches the level of graduation and conferring degrees, whether graduation is granted, and what degree is recommended).
3. According to the voting results, clearly indicate the evaluation grade (excellent; Good; Medium; Qualified and unqualified).
