In advance, the student submits the materials for the pre-defense: * the final version of the dissertation structure, * a characterization of the individual chapters, * a bibliography, * already completed sections of the dissertation, * information on previously published results and the overall plan for publishing the results of the dissertation. During the pre-defense, the student gives a 15-minute presentation covering the topic of their work as well as its formal and content treatment, and answers questions from members of the committee. The committee evaluates the student's work and, if applicable, proposes changes and recommendations, which the student is required to follow in further developing the thesis. Minutes are drawn up regarding the progress of the pre-defense, which are submitted to the relevant faculty department, and a copy is provided to the student. An attachment to the minutes includes information on previously published results and the overall plan for publishing the results of the dissertation.
