At the end of April, Huang Yuxuan, a senior at Oujiang College of Wenzhou University, received a phone call that surprised her. "The school teacher informed me that I don't have to write my graduation thesis!"

Previously, the school issued the "Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education Awards", which stipulated that during the school period, the person in charge of the student entrepreneurship project who won the first prize at or above the provincial level in the entrepreneurship competition can apply for replacing the graduation internship or graduation thesis (design) with the business plan and award-winning certificate.

This provision is a surprise for Huang Yuxuan. After receiving the call, she immediately sorted out the relevant supporting materials and submitted them to the school. Currently working as an intern in Shanghai. She sighed with emotion, "This phone call has relaxed me a lot." Generally speaking, a complete graduation thesis writing needs to go through many links, such as topic selection, topic defense, submission of the first draft, external review of the thesis, thesis defense and so on, which takes 2-3 months, and this time is in the graduation season. Many graduates are also faced with many issues such as finding a job, taking the postgraduate entrance examination, and taking the civil service examination. For them, the successful completion of graduation thesis is not only a "mental activity" but also a "physical activity", and there are other alternatives to graduation thesis, which really saves the physical strength of graduates.

Similarly, Dahongying College in Ningbo launched the reform of undergraduate thesis evaluation for the students in the "3+ 1" experimental class. Students can use graduation design scheme instead of undergraduate thesis and participate in project roadshows. Zhang, a senior student, submitted his graduation thesis "internet plus Catering" business plan to the expert group in the first roadshow of graduation project.

Zhang believes that the scene atmosphere of the project roadshow is more relaxed than the traditional graduation thesis defense. She said that friends around her wrote graduation thesis only to get graduation certificate and get a smooth job. The formulation and modification of the project plan are very practical and useful, so she is more careful in the process of doing the project.

Li, deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office of Ningbo Dahongying College, believes that graduation thesis is the last "compulsory course" for students, and it is a comprehensive application of what they have learned during their college years. "But according to the characteristics of students in our school, students prefer to choose more practical topics. At the same time, unlike teaching and research universities, our graduation thesis focuses on examining students' knowledge application ability. "

The reporter learned that as early as 2006, Wenzhou University started the management plan of undergraduate graduation thesis renewal. Students can replace the traditional graduation thesis with provincial competition awards, project patents, literary competition awards and personal public papers. In June last year, the school issued new regulations to encourage students to carry out graduation design with innovative results. Chen Zhiniao, deputy director of the Guidance Center for Students' Academic Development of Wenzhou University, told reporters that this year, more than1000 graduates applied for graduation thesis replacement. Zhejiang Gongshang University has also issued the relevant regulations for undergraduates to replace graduation thesis with scientific research works in 2065,438+00. Students can apply for graduation thesis (design) replacement with scientific research papers and artistic design works.

However, paper substitution does not mean that the requirements for substitutes can be reduced. Chen Zhiniao told reporters that the school has made detailed regulations on the format and content of the works that students use instead of graduation thesis to ensure the quality of the works. "Taking the business plan as an example, it also needs a standardized paper writing method in format." Li also believes that the work used to replace the graduation thesis depends on its "weight" deficiency. "Students applying to change their graduation thesis must be reviewed and considered by tutors, colleges and schools. It is necessary to stimulate students' enthusiasm for innovation and entrepreneurship, and to ensure the quality of the last' academic achievement' before graduation. "
