VI. Main training links and assessment requirements

1. Course study

Degree courses are conducted in the form of closed-book written examinations, compulsory courses are conducted in the form of closed-book or open-book examinations, and elective courses are conducted in the form of examinations or checks. All course assessment will be scored in the 100-point system, with 60 being qualified. Those with the same educational level must pass the examination.

If you fail in the examination of the degree course, you should retake it. If you pass the retake exam, you can get credits. If you fail to pass the retake exam, you will be eliminated.

If you fail in the examination of the elective course, but the credits obtained have met the requirements of the training program, you may not re-study the course after your application, the consent of the instructor and the approval of the college. The result of the course will not be included in the file (only 2 courses are allowed to apply). Otherwise, postgraduate students should retake or take equivalent elective courses.

2. Academic activities

Postgraduate students must participate in 20 academic activities in and out of the university, give at least 1 lecture, and attend at least 1 domestic or international academic conference. Those who meet the requirements of Yangzhou University's Opinions on Establishing an Academic Report Meeting System for Graduate Students (University No. [2004]14) will get 2 credits.

3. Experiment and Practice Section

This section includes social practice and teaching practice. Social practice is mainly to participate in social surveys, undertake scientific research, design, investigation, consultation, technology development and service activities inside and outside the school. Teaching practice is mainly aimed at undergraduates to carry out trial lectures, guide class discussions, guide experiments, and assist to guide graduation thesis or graduation design of undergraduates. In order to participate in teaching practice activities, postgraduate students must fill in the "Yangzhou University Graduate Teaching Practice Assessment Form", with special person responsible for the assessment. Only qualified students can graduate.

4. Comprehensive discipline assessment

The discipline assessment is conducted according to the secondary discipline organization. The postgraduates themselves report their thoughts, study, health and other conditions to the assessment team, focusing on the study of degree courses and the preparation of dissertation. The supervisor and the head teacher can make brief supplementary explanations. The assessment staff will ask questions about the report of postgraduates and mainly check the preparation of academic dissertation. The assessment team will make assessment records. There are three levels of assessment: excellent, qualified and suspended. The proportion of excellent assessment results shall not be greater than 40% of the actual number of participants, and the proportion of suspended assessment results shall not be less than 5% of the actual number of participants. There are two comprehensive assessment opportunities in total. Those who get temporarily suspended result in the first assessment are allowed to choose another assessment (the interval between the two assessments shall not be less than 6 months), and those who fail the two assessments are eliminated.

5. Mid-term assessment

Mid-term assessment is an important link in the training and management of postgraduates and an effective measure to improve the quality of training. The mid-term assessment is generally carried out in the third semester. The department employs teachers including supervisors to form an assessment team to assess the political and ideological performance and professional learning of postgraduates, and gives the results by comprehensive score. The results of the mid-term assessment of postgraduates are divided into four levels, including A (excellent), B (qualified, continuing to study for degree), C (warning, put forward correction suggestions), D (unqualified, will be eliminated). The proportion of excellent students should be controlled within 35% of the total number of all kinds of graduate students participating in the mid-term assessment. Graduate students whose assessment results are above B shall enter the stage of thesis proposal and dissertation writing. Those who fail the mid-term assessment shall not enter the thesis stage. For details, please refer to the "Mid-term Assessment Methods for Graduate Students in Yangzhou University".

6. Thesis proposal

Graduate students determine their research direction under the guidance of their supervisors. The research topic should be determined on the basis of extensive literature review and investigation. On the one hand, the topic selection should consider the frontier of the subject research and the practical operability of students; on the other hand, it should strive to combine with various levels of research projects undertaken by the supervisors. Academic research topics must be scientific, innovative and feasible. The applied topics should be combined with the needs of economic construction and social development, with certain theoretical significance or application value.

Students shall report the thesis proposal, including the domestic and foreign research summary of this topic; the research significance, research objectives, main contents and key problems to be solved; the research methods to be adopted; the innovation of the subject; the planned progress, expected progress and expected results; the work accumulation related to this topic and the existing research achievements; etc. The thesis proposal should be publicized within the scope of the discipline and widely solicited for opinions.

This discipline organizes the assessment team to demonstrate the thesis proposal and form written opinions. For cross-disciplinary papers, experts from relevant disciplines must be invited to participate in the assessment group. The arguer who has not passed the thesis proposal may continue to prepare and conduct the argumentative work again after three months, and the arguer who has not yet passed will be eliminated.

The preparation for the proposal will be carried out in the third semester, and the proposal report and thesis work plan will be submitted at the beginning of the fourth semester at the latest.

7. Pre-examination of thesis defense

The pre-examination shall be conducted 2 months before the defense, in the form of collective deliberation by the pre-examination panel of experts, consisting of not less than 3 persons. The pre-examination results shall be voted by secret ballot, and two-thirds or more of the consent votes shall be adopted. For the dissertation whose pre-examination result is "pass", the supervisor shall guide the student to make modifications according to the opinions of the pre-examination defense committee or the pre-examination expert group. For the dissertation whose pre-examination result is "fail", the dissertation shall not enter the link of sampling, submission and defense of the dissertation, and the applicant shall be postponed for at least half a year before reapplying for the pre-examination. Those who still fail shall be eliminated.

8. Thesis review

There are two ways to evaluate master's thesis, namely college submission and university selection submission.

College submission for review. According to the relevant regulations, the college organizes the submission of theses and review materials, and is responsible for collecting and sorting out the review opinions of experts.

University selection submission for review. The university entrusts the graduate school to randomly select theses according to the disciplines in a certain proportion. Comments are collected and fed back to each college by the graduate school. If the author fails to submit the thesis on time, the thesis will continue to be the subject of the next random review.

The reviewers for the master's degree thesis shall be at least two, who shall have the qualification of tutor for master's degree graduate students. Both of them are peer experts from outside the university. The thesis is scored above 70 points by two reviewers with an average score of not less than 75 points, and the students have completed the course credits and other academic tasks required, the thesis defense can be conducted.
