First, the significance of writing an outline In the process of writing a graduation thesis, the tutor usually asks the students to write an outline. As far as the writing procedure is concerned, it is a necessary preparation for the author before writing; As far as the outline itself is concerned, it is the concrete embodiment of the author's thoughts and articles. The so-called conception is to organize the design of the chapter structure of graduation thesis. Because the writing of graduation thesis is not like writing a poem, a short essay or a reading note, it is easy to get it easily, and express an idea and a feeling with a single material and a few phrases; Instead, we should use a lot of materials, more levels and strict reasoning to discuss, explain reasons and demonstrate opinions from all aspects. Therefore, it is very important to conceive a composition. To organize materials and arguments in an orderly manner, it is necessary to compile a writing outline. With a good outline, we can grasp the basic skeleton of the whole paper and make the structure of the paper complete and unified. We can distinguish levels, clarify key points, carefully plan the layout of articles, and organically unify general arguments and sub-arguments; You can also arrange, organize and use information according to the requirements of each part, decide on the choice and give full play to the role of information. Some students are unwilling to write an outline, preferring to write the first draft directly. If you don't have an outline of the full text in your mind, and if the arguments, arguments and argumentation steps of the full text are still confusing in your mind, it is very necessary and beneficial to write an outline, which has at least the following three advantages: First, it can reflect the author's overall thinking. Outline is a kind of logic diagram composed of sequence codes and words, and it is a writing design diagram to help the author consider the logic of the whole article. Its advantage lies in that it is convenient for the author to grasp the overall situation of the paper structure, with clear levels, clear focus, conciseness and clarity at a glance. Second, it is conducive to the echo of the paper. With the outline, we can establish the concept of the whole, and test the position and function of each part from the perspective of the whole, whether there is a logical connection between them, whether the space occupied by each part is commensurate with its position and function in the overall situation, whether the proportion between each part is appropriate and harmonious, whether every word, sentence, paragraph and part is needed by the overall situation, and whether it is coherent and coordinated into a whole. After such thinking and writing, the structure of the paper can be unified and complete, and it can serve the expression of the content of the paper well. Third, it is conducive to timely adjustment and avoid major rework. In the research and writing process of graduation thesis, the author's thinking activity is very active. Some unremarkable materials, seemingly irrelevant materials, often produce new associations or new viewpoints after being familiar with and thinking. If you don't write an outline carefully, you will be disturbed by this phenomenon, and you will have to keep writing, rethinking and even overturning what you have written. This not only increases the workload, but also greatly affects the writing mood. The outline of graduation thesis is like the blueprint of the project. As long as you carefully consider the outline before you start writing and spend more time and energy to make it solid, you can form a clear and logical paper framework, thus avoiding a lot of unnecessary rework. In addition, if the students who have just started to write a thesis write their own ideas as an outline first, and then ask others for advice, they can understand them at first sight, and it is easier to put forward some suggestions for revision and supplement, so as to get effective guidance. Second, the steps of writing an outline The steps of writing an outline can be: (1) Determine the abstract of the paper, and then supplement the materials to form a summary of the full text. Abstract is the prototype of the content outline. General books and teaching reference books have abstracts reflecting the contents of the whole book, so that readers can know the general contents of the book as soon as they turn over the abstracts. When writing a paper, we also need to write an abstract first. List the title, headline and subtitle of the paper before writing, and then insert the selected materials to form a summary of the content of the paper. (2) Distribution of pages of manuscript paper After writing the abstract of graduation thesis, we should consider the length of the thesis and how many words should be written in each part of the thesis according to the content of the thesis. If you plan to write an original paper of 20 pages (300 words per page), you can consider using 1 page for the preface, 17 page for the paper and 1-2 page for the conclusion. Part of this theory will be reissued. If this theory has four items, the first item can be 3-4 pages, the second item can be 4-5 pages, the third item can be 3-4 pages, and the fourth item can be 6-7 pages. With this allocation, it is convenient to equip and organize materials, and writing can be more planned. The length of graduation thesis is generally 5000-6000 words, because it is too short, it is difficult to tell the problem thoroughly, and it should not be too long as a graduation thesis, which is determined by the theoretical basis and practical experience of ordinary college and undergraduate students. (3) The outline of writing an outline paper can be divided into a simple outline and a detailed outline. A simple outline is highly generalized, which only shows the main points of the paper, and how to develop it is not involved. Although this outline is simple, it can be written fluently because of its thoughtfulness. Without this preparation, it is difficult to write fluently while thinking. Take "Reflections on Cultivating and Perfecting the Construction Labor Market" as an example, a simple outline can be written as: 1. Foreword 2 This theory (1) is the prerequisite for cultivating the construction labor market (2) the basic situation of the construction labor market (3) the countermeasures for cultivating and perfecting the construction labor market (3) the detailed summary conclusion is to list the main arguments and development parts of the paper in detail. If you prepare a detailed outline before writing, you can write more fluently. Let's take "Thoughts on Cultivating and Perfecting the Construction Labor Market" as an example to introduce the writing of the detailed outline: 1. Preface 1. Put forward the central topic; 2. Explain the writing intention. Second, this theory (a) the prerequisite for cultivating the construction labor market 1. The establishment of the market economic system has created a macro environment for the emergence of the construction labor market; 2. The formation of construction product market puts forward realistic requirements for the cultivation of construction labor market; 3. The deepening of urban and rural system reform provides a reliable guarantee for the formation of the construction labor market; 4. The establishment of the construction labor market is the inherent requirement of the employment particularity of the construction industry. (2) The basic situation of the current construction labor market 1. A buyer's market where supply exceeds demand; 2. An invisible market with a market and no market; 3. It is easy to enter the deformed market that is difficult to exit; 4. Spontaneous market of disorderly trading. (3) Countermeasures for cultivating and perfecting the construction labor market 1. Unify thinking and understanding, and change spontaneous trading into conscious supervision; 2. Accelerate the establishment of rules and regulations, and change disorderly transactions into standardized transactions; 3. Improve the market network and change intangible transactions into tangible transactions; 4. Adjust the management structure and change personal flow into team flow; 5. Deepen employment reform and change one-way flow into two-way flow. Third, the conclusion 1 outlines the current situation of the construction labor market and our tasks; 2. Echo the preface at the beginning. The simple outline and detailed outline mentioned above are the skeleton and main points of the paper. Which one to choose depends on the author's needs. If you are thoughtful and meticulous, it is not a big problem to use a simple outline; However, if the investigation is not well thought out, a detailed outline must be used, otherwise it will be difficult to write a qualified graduation thesis. In short, it will be much more convenient to write an outline before writing a graduation thesis. Third, how to draw up the outline of graduation thesis How to draw up the outline of graduation thesis? First of all, we should grasp the drafting principles of graduation thesis outline. For this reason, we should grasp the following four aspects: (1) We should have a global concept and check the status and role of each part in the thesis as a whole. See whether the proportion distribution of each part is appropriate, whether the length of each part is appropriate, and whether each part can serve the central argument. For example, there is a paper on the dialectical unity of deepening reform and stability in enterprises. Taking an enterprise in XX City, Zhejiang Province as an example, the author said that as long as cadres set an example in the reform and share joys and sorrows with employees, they can gain the understanding of most employees. From the overall concept, we can find that we only talk about how to reform the enterprise to be stable, but we have not discussed how to deepen the reform, change the operating mechanism of the enterprise, improve the economic benefits of the enterprise, increase the income of employees, and finally achieve social stability. (2) From the central point of view, decide the choice of materials, and abandon materials that have nothing to do with the theme or have little to do with it without regret, even if these materials are collected by yourself. If you lose something, you can gain something. A piece of wool is so precious that it can't be cut off, so it can't be sewn into a suitable dress. For ready-made clothes, unnecessary parts must be cut off. Therefore, we must always bear in mind that materials are only used to form the arguments of our own papers. Without this, even the best materials should be abandoned. (c) Consider the logical relationship between the parts. Beginners often make mistakes in writing papers, that is, arguments and arguments are not necessarily related, and some are limited to repeatedly expounding arguments without practical and powerful arguments; Some materials are many and the arguments are not clear; Some parts do not form an organic logical relationship, so this graduation thesis can not meet the requirements, and this graduation thesis is not convincing. To be convincing, there must be virtual reality, arguments and examples, the combination of theory and practice, and the process of argumentation has strict logic. We should pay special attention to this point and check it when drafting the outline.
