Colleges and universities should fully understand the importance of postgraduate thesis defense and do a good job in the organization and process of postgraduate thesis defense. First of all, the defense committee must be composed of experts in related fields (hereinafter referred to as "experts"). Secondly, it is necessary to formulate strict, orderly and all-round defense procedures for dissertations, and the specific links of defense should be scientific and standardized. This plays an important role in ensuring the smooth progress of national defense work and improving the quality of national defense. The defense procedures of graduate dissertations in colleges and universities are not completely the same, but overall, the basic process of graduate defense is the same.

(1) Introduction to the paper

Graduate students will report the contents of the thesis in 20-30 minutes. It is suggested that the respondent make a presentation and introduction by means of multimedia or slides according to the prepared speech, so as to make the speech in place as much as possible.

(2) 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, moderate size, easy first and then difficult, gradually in-depth, clear and specific, easy to understand and so on. The thesis is written as "Master's thesis defense process". At the same time, experts should give appropriate inspiration and in-depth guidance to graduate students.

(3) Answer questions

After the defense graduate students finish their papers, they should concentrate on recording the questions raised by experts in order to make complete answers; And return the slides to the "paper title" page so that experts can ask questions accurately. Usually, after a short period of preparation, graduate students will spend about 30 minutes seriously answering experts' questions.

(4) Expert voting

After the completion of the defense, the defense graduate students leave the venue temporarily, and the defense Committee will discuss according to the quality of the paper and the defense situation, and summarize the situation in the process of the paper and defense, affirm the advantages, and point out the mistakes or shortcomings. The summary of the defense Committee includes comments on the content and structure of the thesis, the problems existing in the thesis, and the evaluation of the thesis and thesis defense. Finally, the defense committee decides whether the thesis defense is passed by secret ballot. Usually, at least two-thirds of the members of the defense Committee agree to pass, so as to determine that the graduate students pass the thesis defense. In addition, the voting results of the defense Committee should be recorded.

(5) announce the results

After the defense graduate students re-enter the defense venue, the chairman of the defense Committee reads out the resolutions and voting results of the defense Committee's thesis defense. For graduate students who can't pass the defense, the defense committee should put forward opinions on the revision of the thesis, allowing the respondent to make a new defense after revising the thesis within 1 year.
