That is the end of studying at the university. The relatively carefree student time has almost ended, all sessions, state exams have been passed. It is time to defend our main scientific work. Largely on how competently the review of the thesis will be drawn up, the degree to which the commission will accept it favorably will depend. We offer you to understand how to correctly compile and draw up this document.
Content
Let's not hide it - often the department staff instruct students to write a review of their thesis on their own. Perhaps we will not understand how legitimate this is - this is by no means the topic of this article - but try to talk about what this document should contain in practice. First of all, we will determine its purpose. The review of the thesis is an assessment of an independent expert, which reflects how much the student has mastered the declared topic and what value his work represents. In other words, the identification and justification of weaknesses and strengths. An important rule - in no case do not use common phrases. The text should be clear, concise, and the opinion expressed in it - reasoned.
Structure
The review of the head of the thesis should contain the following required blocks:
- confirmation or refutation of the relevance of the topic presented to the defense;
- characterization of the writing style, the compliance of the work with the current standards for the content, literacy assessment;
- a brief analysis of each section of the diploma and its assessment;
- highlighting non-standard decisions and techniques, examples of creative thinking of a student, his erudition;
- assessment of the practical significance of scientific work;
- shortcomings of the thesis;
- and finally, a recommended assessment, based on all of the above.
Decor
Each individual university may have its own standards governing registration. In the event that they are not, a review of the
thesis is written on the basis of general rules. We list them:
- the volume of the document is not regulated and is determined by common sense and is usually from 1 to 1.5 pages. Do not try to make it vast, but do not forget that the main idea should be revealed;
- the heading must list the basic information: topic name, faculty, department, group, specialty, full name of the student, group number;
- the document must contain a mention of the enterprise on the basis of which the qualification work is written;
- it is necessary to strictly structure the text (an approximate structure is described in the previous paragraph);
- a review of a thesis implies a conclusion in the form of an assessment, which it deserves according to a 4-point system: excellent, good, satisfactory, unsatisfactory.
Despite the fact that at present the content and design of this document does not have as stringent requirements as before, if you want to be sure of a positive result, then take into account all possible aspects, and a successful defense!
