If the graduates can not return to school, what should they do with the graduation project defense? With the completion of the defense by Ji Huiyang, majoring in Interior Art Design, the 2020 online defense work of the School of Visual Art of HNMMC came to a successful end. During the special period of the epidemic, the Internet connected everyone together and help them complete the most important assessment in the graduation process.

In order to complete this special defense, four teachers from the Teaching and Research Office of the Interior Art Design, including Guo Zhelan, Liu Bin, Fan Xiaojian, and Qi Xiaoying, conducted simulated defenses to each team, mainly to test network connection of the communication equipment, smoothness of the defense process, time, personnel, standard requirements for recording, detection of video recording effects, and formulation of emergency plans for the teachers and graduates in the defense, attempting reduce unexpected situations that may occur in formal defenses through simulated defense.

The defense officially started on May 26 through the "DingTalk meeting". Students used "screen sharing" to present and report on their graduation design. After carefully watching and listening, the teachers raised questions in terms of the work's planning, display of effect drawing, engineering drawing, engineering budget, and so on. Delightfully, the graduation design works of this year's graduates were of high quality, covering the design and realization of home space, office space, soft furnishings and furniture customizing. 105 works were all from the actual projects of the company, reflecting their authenticity and practicality.

After the defense, student Deng Wenjing said, “The entire defense process was serious and covered all the necessary procedures. It’s the first time to do online defense, but I think it was done well.” “There were a lot of people at that time. Everyone could share his own screen, and it was no different from on-site defense,” student Zhang Jing said. According to the teachers, students were well prepared, and their professional level had been improved. The teachers were also diligent in asking questions and summing up. The whole defense came to a successful close intensively and orderly.

The Director of the School of Visual Art, Shen Jianfei stated that due to the epidemic this year, the school’s graduation defense would conduct an online defense. From the end of May to the beginning of June, the college will review the basic information and scores of students online. Those who pass the review indicators will be issued a diploma. The diploma is expected to be issued by all teaching departments in early June.
