我知道还有一位研究生，不是在答辩期间，而是在他提交论文初稿的时候就无视学位委员会老师的建议，结果没有获得答辩资格。

Another student I knew in grad school was told not to defend, based on the draft of his dissertation. He overruled his committee's advice, and failed his defense.

因此，我完成了我的课程，上交了我的毕业论文，然后拿到了学位。

So, I finished my coursework, I turned in my final paper and I got the degree.

在我的导师出国之前，我已完成了我的学位论文。

I have finished my dissertation before my supervisor went abroad.
