Is the end of the defense equivalent to the graduation of Meimei?
NO！
Sampling has become a more worrying link, and the story of sampling inspection starts from the first year of Tianlin......
Recently, the Weibo hot search of #graduation one-year thesis was unqualified by random inspection# topped the list, and many netizens once again recalled their painful experience when they changed their papers due to "unqualified sampling".
After the paper has been sampled, how much needs to be revised again. But this is already a blessing in misfortune, at least there will be a chance to do it again. The most desperate thing is that his graduation degree certificate was revoked directly because of the unqualified thesis sampling.
Even Peking University, the highest university, once had 5 doctorates, but because they did not pass the second sampling inspection of the thesis, their degrees were revoked directly after graduating with a double certificate!

There is also a description of the subject, the subject has graduated from the master's degree for a year, and was notified that the thesis sampling inspection is unqualified, and the school asked him to change it for another year, re-defend and submit it for review, and he was originally going to work to set a lecturer, but now he has to go back to change the thesis, otherwise the degree certificate may be affected.
In the end, the subject could only go back and discuss with the supervisor and start the revision of the thesis again.
In August 2020, in response to dissertation fraud, the Ministry of Education issued the "Circular on the Investigation and Punishment of Several University Dissertation Fraud", in addition to informing Fudan University, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and Xiamen University of 3 dissertation fraud investigations, the circular also requires that all universities should take immediate action to comprehensively verify and investigate the dissertations awarded for doctoral and master's degrees in the past five years (August 1, 2015 - July 31, 2020).

From January 1, 2021, the Ministry of Education issued the Measures for Sampling Inspection of Graduation Theses (Design) (Trial) (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures") to start the pilot work of sampling of graduation theses (design), requiring that the sampling inspection be carried out once a year, and the sampling proportion of undergraduate students should not be less than 2% in principle, and the proportion of random inspection for master's students should not be less than 5% in principle.
It is reported that the random inspection of papers is to stop plagiarism and academic fraud, so that graduates can pay attention to the originality of their papers. The literature spot check mainly includes the topic selection, logic, research plan, plan and full text of the paper, as well as the information related to the preliminary and re-evaluation of the paper. In the process of spot checking, if you find any problems with your dissertation, you can generally let the students revise it slightly, and if it is found that your dissertation has plagiarism or tampering, ghostwriting and other academic misconduct, your degree certificate will be cancelled directly.
Netizens have different views on the system of paper sampling:
Not surprisingly, every year, netizens also shout Zhai Tianlin: Tianlin 5 years, this paper is prosperous, as you wish.
Some netizens also pointed out that there is no problem with the sampling inspection system itself:
In fact, behind the strict scrutiny, colleges and universities hope that students can write unique and innovative essays, but they are not something that can be grasped easily.
In fact, many graduate students do not know what to do for their thesis when they reach their final year, and our test-oriented education model makes most students only passively accept knowledge, so that the ability to find, analyze and solve problems is seriously lacking.

Where is the innovation point in your topic selection? Where is your theoretical innovation? Where is your research innovation?—— Contemporary graduate students collapse when they hear the words "innovation."
In an interview with reporters, a doctoral supervisor once bluntly said: "After a student who graduated from a 211 university with a bachelor's degree went to graduate school, he said to me in confusion, "Teacher, you asked me to read 30 papers from CNKI, but I don't know what they are talking about, let alone how to put forward my own opinions." ”
"I can't summarize and refine opinions from the literature, I can't put forward and solve problems, I don't have a sense of problems, my writing ability is seriously insufficient, and there are many shortcomings in both form and content, so how can I make an excellent graduation thesis?"
But there are policies at the top, and there are countermeasures at the bottom. Under such strict paper review conditions, some foolish elites were also quietly born.
In fact, there are indeed many problems with the dissertations of many graduate students.
Some time ago, a master's thesis at Nanchang University was exposed by netizens on the Internet because 20 lines of 75 lines of text were wrong and the word order did not make sense.
5.1.2 "This complete live broadcast platform has a certain degree of originality, flexible format and rich and diverse content" The platform has a flexible format that makes people read in the clouds.
Subsequently, Nanchang University checked the master's thesis for the first time and released the verification report online.
Nanchang University mentioned in the verification note. After the paper was finalized, Xiong, the author of the paper, was worried that the repetition rate of the paper was too high, so he used translation software to reduce the weight of part of the paper and submitted it directly without review.
He also said that this paper will be sent back for re-examination, and the follow-up will be seriously dealt with in strict accordance with the specifications according to the verification and review situation. The student's supervisor has also stopped the tutor's graduate enrollment qualification since 2022 due to negligence in the management of the student.
Therefore, when dealing with the graduation thesis, you must not take chances, even if you pass the test at that time, it does not mean that you will enter the safe.
However, if the graduation thesis is really drawn, don't panic in case you are unqualified, compare the unqualified opinions, discuss with the tutor to revise them one by one, and then find someone from a related major to tutor you, and you can basically pass the test.
Here, I wish you all a smooth passage and a good future!
