As long as you write your master's thesis carefully, the pass rate is still very high.
Firstly, the thesis should meet the requirements of your tutor, and secondly, the requirements of the school. The opening report meeting of master's thesis needs to be reviewed by the tutor's defense Committee. If the topic fails, then the paper will not be written smoothly. After passing the topic, you begin to write your thesis. Generally, the number of words required for master's thesis is between 20,000 and 40,000. At that time, I wrote more than 70,000 words for my master's thesis and printed 100 pages. As a result, the people in the school printing room joked that I wrote more words than my doctoral thesis.
The master's thesis is finished, so be sure to show it to the tutor. The tutor will let you revise it repeatedly, from the topic selection to the layout of the article, the process method, to the arrangement of the text, and then to the requirements of the reference. At that time, our tutor asked to refer to at least 30 English documents, which was really a bit overwhelming, but it was confirmed in constant revision.
After the tutor passes, it will be sent to the graduate school for re-examination. Schools with different duplicate checking rates have different requirements. My school requires a duplicate check rate of less than 5%, which is quite strict. The first time I didn't know to check the duplicate, I uploaded it directly. The duplicate checking rate is too high and it is suspected of plagiarism. I just know that if there are sentences with the word 13 or more in your paper, which is the same as other papers, it is plagiarism, and I am dumbfounded. Re-applied for the second hard-won opportunity. After repeated consideration, research and revision, I spent money on China HowNet first, and I didn't dare to send it to the school until I knew less than 5%. This time, the check rate passed.
However, after passing the double check rate, three copies will be sent anonymously to the defense jury for review. If you agree to the defense, you can successfully defend it. If there is any objection to the defense, it needs to be revised repeatedly and re-examined. After the passage, we will enter the defense session. The defense committee consists of 5-6 professors who will ask questions based on the papers you received in advance. As long as you write it carefully, you can usually answer your own questions. If it is about the general direction or research methods, the tutor can generally help explain.
Only one of our graduates didn't get a master's degree. She actually passed the defense, which was poor, but it also gave her the opportunity to revise her paper. But then she was busy looking for a job, and when the tutor asked us to revise it after the defense, she had no patience to revise it. Later, we all successfully submitted and uploaded the paper, and she gave up. Maybe there are many problems in her paper, or maybe she won't last long. To tell the truth, writing a paper is really a super tiring job.
Since the plagiarism of Zhai Tianlin's thesis was exposed, many universities have strictly controlled the thesis, and many graduate students have been expelled. What does this mean? It means that the thesis is getting worse and worse, but this is limited to those students who just want to copy. Those who really do research and have something to write are not afraid of the master's thesis.
