When I was in graduate school, my graduation thesis was arranged and submitted by my tutor. Although they were all acquaintances of my tutor, the evaluation opinions were very serious.

In the first 10 years after I became a tutor, I arranged for my postgraduate thesis to be submitted for examination. The book reviews are practical and realistic, and even have a lot of sharp opinions. What we are adhering to is that we are right about things and not about people. We are commenting on the paper itself, and there is no saying that it will affect the relationship between teachers. On the contrary, we have met many academic friends.

In recent years, I do not know is the expansion of the enrollment? More academic scandals? Complicated relationships? Or are you used to academic misconduct? It's duplicate checking and anonymity. Do you trust students or tutors? In any case, it seems that everyone is not credible, and they are all the objects of review. This is a credit crisis!

Must graduate thesis review be anonymous? So next, should the defense be back-to-back?

The arrangement of Postgraduate Theses has changed from tutor arrangement to school arrangement, from public evaluation to anonymous evaluation, from inside to outside, from paper to Internet. It can be said that there are layers of prevention and control, and they are like enemies. But what is the actual effect?

In the past, papers were submitted for examination half a month before the defense, and they would be returned in 3-5 days. Now the paper is submitted in March in advance, and the management staff delays another half a month to send it to the reviewer for another week or two. Sometimes a paper only comes back to school after nearly two months. This is not a waste of money and time. What is formalism? If there is time for teachers and students to polish papers together, the quality will be improved. During the waiting period, because some papers were submitted hastily, the tutors and students were as hard as waiting for the "verdict", hoping for good results.

And anonymity. Why anonymity? It's aboveboard to review papers. Why do you want to be secretive? This shows that the school lacks a normal atmosphere of academic exchange, not only has delicate interpersonal relationship, but also dare not face academic exchange directly. Comments written by reviewers should stand up to peer recognition and the test of teachers and students. What are you afraid of? If there is malicious retaliation, it is a matter of law. Sometimes the reviewers are perfunctory and become good teachers; Sometimes you have to show your authority when you are picky; Sometimes you can guess the tutor, so you have a lot of worries when you write, especially in the face of many problems in the paper, and even some teachers directly refuse to review. This kind of atmosphere is depressing and suffocating, so many external factors should be considered when evaluating a paper. Real name anonymity is only a form, whether it can be serious and fair is fundamental.

Most students' papers and tutors' comments are not "confidential". Magnanimous mind is not afraid of others to see, only the heart of the cat is afraid to see light. The book review tests the level of the tutor and the reviewer. Conscience should be open. This has a positive effect on the quality of the paper. For serious and responsible tutors, they don't care about real name anonymity. Anonymity sometimes plays a role of "protection" for incompetent and irresponsible tutors, but it covers up the truth, and there may be problems next year. The practice of publishing the list of evaluation experts by the National Fund Committee might as well be transplanted. Openness is conducive to mutual supervision. We can all see the level of graduate students under the guidance of reviewers and tutors.

The paper review book should be handed over to the tutor at the first time, and then the tutor will revise the paper together with the students according to the review opinions. But now some schools send the evaluation books directly to the students, and the tutors don't know. This is a great disrespect for the tutor. It's really sad that the tutor did his best to revise the students' thesis, but he couldn't see the result of the review at the first time. of course. If the thesis is rejected, the students will inform the tutor for help at the first time. Maybe no news is good news.
