The defense started in the afternoon, which was supposed to be in the morning, but Professor Yuan just got off the plane yesterday and needs to rest more when he is older.

After Shen Qingyi and several other tutors discussed, they unanimously decided to let Professor Yuan rest for a while.

Only then did the defense time be changed to the afternoon.

There are a total of 10 defense review experts, including three experts from other provinces and seven experts from this hospital.

Because the master's and doctor's degrees were defended together, the two groups of experts were simply mixed and matched.

For master's and doctoral defenses, the requirements for the review experts are different.

The master's degree only requires five associate professors or above, and the leader of the defense committee must be a professor, form an expert group, and conduct a review.

Seven experts are required for a Ph.D., and three of them must be provincial experts.

The reason why the students who defended the defense had to pay so much money each was because of the labor fees for the experts.

In particular, several experts from other provinces not only have to provide labor, but also have to cover room and board, and the tutors with good conditions will also take them to local tourist attractions to have a fun.

The jury of as many as 10 people was gathered this time because except for the three experts from other provinces, the students of the remaining seven tutors were all students who participated in the defense this time.

Of course, when a tutor's student makes a defense, the tutor is not counted in the defense expert committee.

Judges will be conducted by the rest of the teachers.

The vote for the defense resolution is specially made by the Office of Graduate Studies, one for each expert, and if they agree, they will circle in the comment field, and if they disagree, they will draw a cross.

Under normal circumstances, there is no cross, after all, the mentors are all in contact with each other, and they all have the nature of helping each other.

What level of experts can be invited by the defense experts depends on the situation of the experts in the department, and the ability and contacts of the department director, and what kind of experts from other provinces can be invited.

Professor Yuan doesn't need to say much.

He was able to serve as a professor and recruit students at two universities at home and abroad at the same time, and he is one of the few universities in Donggang University that has this honor.

Although the three experts from other provinces were invited by the head of the department, they also had the element of looking at Professor Yuan's face.

Professor Yuan is about to retire, and Ren Huaibo is most likely his close disciple.

Ren Huaibo This is also the first time to meet the real tutor, in the previous interview, it was someone else who helped to meet him, and Professor Yuan connected remotely and commanded.

Because Professor Yuan spends most of his time abroad and rarely returns to China, Ren Huaibo can only rely on his little mentor Chu Xia to study for a doctorate.

Professor Yuan estimated that he could not give much guidance, and Chu Xia, as a young teacher, was definitely eager to try it when it was the first time she led a student.

Judging from the fact that she arranged Ren Huaibo in her office, Chu Xia must have intended to cultivate Ren Huaibo.

The defense will be conducted in the order of master's degree and then doctorate.

Except for Chi Zhouxu and Tang Jiahui, the rest of the students are upstairs, there are many of them, and they have to listen to them, Chi Zhouxu and Tang Jiahui are arranged in the first two.

Generally speaking, the higher the ranking, the less favorable it is for the defense.

Because at the beginning, whether it is a student or an expert, the spirit is relatively strong, and the PPT reporting process may have no impact, but it is not easy to deal with the subsequent questioning session.

This is also the most critical part of the review by the defense experts, and there is almost no one.

There is a 10-minute question time for the Master's and 20 minutes for the PhD.

Chi Zhouxu knew that Tang Jiahui was timid, nervous, and couldn't see his girlfriend being wronged, so he was the first to play.

The situation is as Zhou Mo expected, and the first one will have to bear more doubts after all.

But she won't worry too much, Chi Zhouxu's defense PPT was rehearsed in the department, and Shen Qingyi and she both changed it word by word, and they couldn't even have typos.

Chi Zhouxu has a sunny personality and a handsome appearance, and from the outside, he has certain advantages.

His report was very calm throughout the whole process, the speed of speech was not fast, not stuck, and after the PPT, there was a round of applause from the audience.

It's a good start.

The person in charge of the chair is Tao Tao, director of the Department of Social Medicine and Medical Informatics.

"Experts, please give your opinions." Director Tao lifted his glasses, turned around, and finally his eyes fell on Professor Yuan.

"I'll come first," Professor Yuan, who was sitting at the top, looked at the projection screen, "You flip the PPT to i."

t

oductio

section. ”

Chi Zhouxu did so.

Professor Yuan said: "You have done a good job in these pictures, layer by layer, and the logical relationship is very meticulous, but there are still some details of the problem, which literature are you citing for the effect of smoking?" It's Richa

Which of d? ”

Chi Zhouxu really didn't pay attention to this detail, and he didn't hide anything, so he said generously: "I'm sorry Professor Yuan, I don't remember it too much, I'll take a look at my article." ”

He flipped through the references at the back of his paper and replied, "I'm citing another one." ”

Professor Yuan: "Who's?" What is the author's name? ”

Chi Zhouxu: "It should be a domestic author, called Luwei." ”

Professor Yuan: "Go back and change, Richa."

The one is more classic, the sample size is sufficient, and the experimental design is very ingenious, I suggest you take a look at the idea of that article, the multi-center, blinding, and stratified sampling method is also particularly exquisite. ”

Chi Zhouxu: "Okay, thank you Professor Yuan, I'll definitely go and see it." ”

Subsequently, Professor Yuan asked about several positive results of interest in Chi Zhouxu's results.

On the whole, there was a lot of discussion, both guidance, and no deliberate difficulties, and the atmosphere of the defense was relatively relaxed.

However, experts are experts after all, and sometimes the questions asked, as a master's degree student who has just entered the threshold of scientific research, are a dimensionality reduction blow.

There is a saying in the market - reply and reply, answer but not argue.

It means that when you encounter a question from an expert, just listen to it, answer it if you can, and honestly say that you don't know if you can't answer it, ask the teacher for guidance, don't make excuses, and don't argue with the defense expert.

Zhou Mo had already told Chi Zhouxu and Tang Jiahui.

Professor Yuan's last question, Chi Zhouxu said frankly that he wouldn't, Professor Yuan nodded in understanding, saying that this problem is quite difficult for master's students.

In a clockwise direction, the rest of the teachers asked a few more questions.

Ten minutes passed quickly, Chi Zhouxu performed very well, and was praised by Director Tao, saying that the young man was very energetic and sven.

It made Chi Zhouxu a little embarrassed.

When he walked off the stage, he almost tripped over the wiring of the projection screen, which caused the audience to laugh.

Such a funny scene also added a bit of relaxation to the tense atmosphere of the defense.

The experts sat around a huge oval conference table, surrounded by two or three circles of students.

Shen Qingyi happened to sit at the apex of the short axis of the elliptical table, and Zhou Mo and the students in the group sat behind Shen Qingyi.

After Chi Zhouxu stepped down, he sat among them.

He excitedly shook hands with Liu Kai first, although he looked calm, in fact, his palms were already in a cold sweat.
