Our Master's thesis defenses are partially open to the public. The candidate makes an open presentation, responds to any questions from the audience, then the audience is excused and the candidate meets privately with the committee. Out of curiosity, does anyone else do Master's thesis defenses this way? David Kreiner Professor of Psychology University of Central Missouri Lovinger 1111 Warrensburg MO 64093
