Every graduate of xxxx Vocational College in our department must write a graduation thesis for thesis defense before leaving school, and those who fail in graduation design (thesis) will not graduate. Therefore, our department held the thesis defense of xxxx crop production technology and horticulture technology from May 10 to May1. I have made careful arrangements from the aspects of defense location, defense committee composition, guidance and defense teacher grouping list, defense student grouping list, thesis format and requirements, thesis defense procedures and arrangements, graduation thesis score evaluation and standards, and score reporting, so that the defense process can proceed in an orderly manner.

(C) to cultivate students' technical ability and improve the quality of training
Earnestly do a good job in obtaining all kinds of qualification certificates (vocational skill appraisal certificate, computer grade certificate). In the current increasingly fierce employment situation, in order to fully display the professional expertise and vocational skills of graduates, adapt to the current social needs and enhance the employment strength of students in our department. Department leaders actively negotiated with Hexi College Agricultural 2 16 Vocational Skills Appraisal Station. On March 16- 17, 15 teachers from agriculture, animal husbandry and horticulture sacrificed their rest time, carefully organized, carefully counseled and strictly assessed, and conducted agronomists, crop seed breeders and vegetable gardeners for the graduates of 05 higher vocational colleges. The college leaders attached great importance to this appraisal and were in charge of teaching. Evaluation of five jobs 179 person-times. With the joint efforts of teachers and students, this appraisal was a complete success. The graduates of Grade 05 in higher vocational colleges have obtained the qualification certificate of senior engineer in this major.
