I got married to an orthopaedic surgeon

The defense started in the afternoon, and it was supposed to be in the morning, but Professor Yuan just got off the plane yesterday, and he needs to rest more to overcome jet lag as he gets older.

After Shen Qingyi and several instructors 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 ten defense review experts, including three experts from other provinces and seven experts from this court.

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

Master's and doctoral defense require different review experts.

Only five associate professor titles or above are required for a master’s degree, and the head of the defense committee must be a professor title, and an expert team is formed to conduct the review.

Doctors need seven experts, and three of them must be experts from other provinces.

The reason why each of the students who are defending has to pay so much money is mostly the labor fees for the experts.

Especially for a few experts from other provinces, they not only have to provide labor services, but also have full board and lodging, and the mentors with good conditions will take them to local tourist attractions.

This time a jury of as many as ten people was gathered because apart from the three experts from other provinces, the students of the other seven instructors were all students participating in the defense this time.

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

Judged by the rest of the teachers.

The vote for the defense resolution is specially made by the Graduate Student Office, and each expert has one. If they agree, they will draw a circle in the opinion column, and if they disagree, they will draw a cross.

Under normal circumstances, they would not draw a cross. After all, the tutors are all in contact with each other, and they are helpful to each other.

What level of experts can the defense experts invite? First, look at the situation of experts in the department, and second, look at the ability and contacts of the director of the department, and what kind of experts from other provinces can be invited.

Professor Yuan doesn't need to say much.

He can serve as a professor and enroll students in two universities at home and abroad at the same time. There are only a handful of Dongjiang University with this honor.

Although the three experts from other provinces were invited by the director of the department, they were also out of respect for Professor Yuan.

Professor Yuan is about to retire, and Ren Huaibo is very likely to be his closed disciple.

This is also the first time for Ren Huaibo to see a real tutor. During the previous interview, someone else helped to interview him. Professor Yuan connected remotely and directed the interview.

Since Professor Yuan spent most of his time abroad and rarely returned to China, Ren Huaibo could only rely on his little mentor, Chu Xia, if he wanted to study for a Ph.D.

Professor Yuan probably doesn't have much guidance to give. As a young teacher, Chu Xia is definitely eager to lead students for the first time.

Judging from her arrangement of Ren Huaibo in her office, Chu Xia must have intended to train Ren Huaibo.

The defense is carried out in the order of first master degree and then doctor degree.

Except for Chi Zhouxu and Tang Jiahui, the rest of the students were from the upper floor. There were so many of them, they had to listen to their arrangements. Chi Zhouxu and Tang Jiahui were arranged as the first two.

Generally speaking, the higher the ranking, the more unfavorable it is for the defense.

Because at the beginning, both the students and the experts were more energetic, and the ppt reporting process might not have any impact, but it was difficult to deal with the subsequent questioning sessions.

This is also the most critical link in the review by the respondent, almost none of them.

Masters have 10 minutes to ask questions in this session, and doctors have 10 minutes to ask questions.

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

The situation was just as Zhou Mo expected, the first one had to bear more doubts.

But she wouldn't worry too much. Chi Zhouxu's defense ppt was rehearsed in the department, and Shen Qingyi and she corrected it word by word, without typos.

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

His report was very calm throughout, and he did not speak too fast, without getting stuck. After finishing the ppt, the audience burst into applause.

It was a good start.

Director Tao of the Social Medicine and Medical Informatics Teaching and Research Section is in charge of hosting.

"Experts, please express your opinions." Director Tao lowered his glasses, turned around, and finally landed on Professor Yuan.

"Let me go first," Professor Yuan, who was sitting at the top, looked at the projection screen, "You turn the ppt to the introdu part."

Chi Zhou followed suit.

Professor Yuan said: "You did a good job with these few pictures. The logical relationship is very meticulous. However, there are still some details. For the impact of smoking, which literature did you cite? Which one is Richard's?" ?”

Chi Zhouxu really didn't pay attention to this detail, and he didn't hide anything. He said generously: "I'm sorry, Professor Yuan, I don't remember too much. Let me read my article."

He looked through the references at the back of his paper and replied, "I cited another one."

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

Chi Zhouxu: "It should be a domestic author named Luwei."

Professor Yuan: "Go back and change it. Richard's article 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, blind method, and stratified sampling method are also very ingenious. .”

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

Afterwards, Professor Yuan asked about some interesting positive results in Chi Zhouxu's results.

Generally speaking, there are many discussions, guidance, and no embarrassment deliberately. The atmosphere of the defense is relatively relaxed.

However, experts are experts after all, and sometimes the questions they ask, as graduate students who have just entered the threshold of scientific research, are dimensionality reduction blows.

There is a saying in the market - answer and answer, answer without answering.

It means that when an expert asks a question, just listen to it, answer if you can answer it, 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 respondent expert.

Zhou Mo had already warned Chi Zhouxu and Tang Jiahui.

Professor Yuan's last question, Chi Zhouxu said frankly that he didn't know how to do it. Professor Yuan nodded to express his understanding, saying that this question is quite difficult for master students.

In a clockwise direction, the remaining teachers asked some questions.

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

It made Chi Zhouxu a little embarrassed.

When he left the stage, he almost tripped over the wires connecting the projection screen, which made everyone laugh.

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

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 his 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, his palms were already sweating profusely.
