10. Remark (FAQ)

1) The form for nominating committee members will not be used anymore

2) Committee members used to be 5 people including the advisor till 2021,but it has been changed to 3 without the advisor from 2022.

3) Providing 5 committee members with the Q.E evaluation form for each printing out the form attached above on the Q.E day

4) Providing 5 committee members with the brief Q.E presentation materials for each

5) In usual, the pre-defense means the pre-step of the final defense, so you might have pre-defense around 6 months before the final one apart from the Q.E.

(It’s not a must, but you might have one if it is needed discussing with your advisor)
