Topic selection is the key to graduation thesis writing. When learning to write a graduation thesis, we must first learn how to choose a topic. When choosing the topic of graduation thesis, we should pay attention to the appropriateness of the topic. Let's take a look at the topic selection skills!
The topic size is moderate, which has certain guiding significance for practical work; It is necessary to combine the current development of science and technology and economy, and try to choose topics that are combined with social development and practical work. Too small a topic is not conducive to theoretical discussion. For example, "abolishing the system of customers filling out forms at the savings counter" is a very specific topic. If you make a small thesis of 2-3 thousand words, you can clearly explain the purpose and effect of this system reform, but it seems that making a graduation thesis of about 10000 words is a bit of a fuss. This subtle change in specific business behavior is generally of little significance.
On the other hand, too big a topic is not conducive to focused discussion. For example, "How do Chinese banks meet the challenges of foreign banks after China's entry into WTO?" This topic can probably be written into a thick monograph. Similar topics, such as? On the development of insurance industry in China? 、 ? How do state-owned commercial banks develop intermediary business? 、? On the emergence and prevention of financial risks? Wait, what they have in common is that they can discuss many issues under the same topic. In this way, when writing a paper, you can't put pen to paper, and often everything involves a little, but nothing is in-depth and incomprehensible.
A suitable topic should have a clear focus. There may be different views on a certain aspect of the problem. Some factors make it impossible to draw a conclusion at once, and some analysis is needed to see the results. However, if you stand from different angles, you will come to different conclusions. This kind of problem is very suitable for graduation thesis with more than 65438 words, and it is also a good topic for students to try to analyze and solve problems with their own knowledge.
It is best to choose topics according to the problems we pay more attention to on weekdays.
Writing a thesis mainly reflects students' thinking about problems, so if students have little or no feelings about problems, it is difficult to discuss a problem wholeheartedly, because they will not know what kind of views they should hold. If students have observed and thought about a problem, then the rest is to find and sort out some theoretical and factual data that can support their feelings to support and express their arguments. As the saying goes, "long words, short words". Without any personal feelings, it is difficult to write a paper of more than 6 thousand words, unless you are a tailor, you can piece together other people's articles.
There is also a desk method to draw your own opinions, that is, read a lot of academic articles in a certain field first, see what others have in this respect, and write down your feelings while reading. After some reading, you will accumulate quite a lot of knowledge in this field, and your own opinions may gradually form. Sometimes students may have doubts about some viewpoints, so they might as well raise their own doubts and analyze whether it is reasonable with actual facts. By comparing and analyzing the conditions on which different viewpoints are based, we can find some evidences to prove whether their doubts are valid. This is an argumentation process in itself, and writing it may be a good article. The so-called "bold assumption, careful verification" should refer to this.
Academic innovation should be encouraged in topic selection.
Avoid choosing common sense problems that have been completely solved; Topic selection should keep pace with the times and encourage the solution of practical problems. The discipline of economics is often very epochal, and a discipline will change with the change of economic situation. For example, "China stock market calls for open-end funds" was originally a good topic, but it is obviously an outdated topic at present, because the China stock market has launched open-end funds, which has no special significance for the discussion of "whether it is necessary" for the time being. However, if it is replaced by "analysis of the operation effect of open-end funds", it can still be studied.
The topic should be related to your major.
The topic selection should conform to the professional training objectives and teaching requirements, focus on the content of the professional courses students have studied, and should not be divorced from the professional scope. It should be comprehensive, with a certain depth and breadth. Students majoring in finance must choose the direction related to their major in their graduation thesis, and they can do cross-topics. And completely irrelevant topics are not up to the requirements, so we must pay attention to avoid them.
1 The purpose and significance of graduation thesis writing
Graduation thesis is a comprehensive survey of the whole learning process of college students. The quality of college students' graduation thesis is an important standard to evaluate the teaching quality of colleges and universities, and it is also a comprehensive test of students' training quality and comprehensive level. Through the writing of university graduation thesis, college students can be familiar with the basic methods, basic paper formats and specifications of scientific research thesis writing, get a preliminary understanding of some skills of scientific research and creation, understand some research contents of their major, and master the basic methods of literature retrieval.
2 General steps of graduation thesis writing
A middle school student's Chinese composition can usually be completed in tens of minutes in the examination room, while a good graduation thesis is usually a long academic paper supported by literature, which generally requires a long writing process. To complete a graduation thesis, the following processes are usually required:
2. 1 topic selection for graduation thesis
The topic of graduation thesis can't be determined at once. If the topic range of graduation thesis is large, the content of graduation thesis written is empty and it is difficult to combine with reality. However, the topic of graduation thesis is too narrow, and it is difficult to find relevant literature, which makes people feel at a loss. For the determination of the topic of graduation thesis, we can usually choose a big research direction first, and then search the literature around this research direction, and gradually narrow the scope of the topic of graduation thesis by reading, thinking and analyzing the data.
For example, English majors who are interested in English grammar can choose a big graduation thesis topic first? On English grammar? , and then find the relevant literature. Like what? How to learn English grammar? 、? How to make English grammar teaching out of boredom? 、? Interpreting Grammatical Metaphors in News English? And other documents. The topic selection of English graduation thesis in normal universities should be further narrowed and selected around English grammar teaching. For example, you can choose? Reflections on English grammar teaching? 、? On English grammar teaching in middle schools? 、? My opinion on English grammar teaching? 、? Reflections on the orientation of English grammar teaching. And other topics, talk about the teaching methods and skills of English grammar, combined with the characteristics of teachers' majors and some experience in practice, you will feel that there is something to write, so that the content will not be empty.
In the process of selecting topics for graduation thesis, we should make good preparations. At present, it is reasonable for most universities in China to arrange graduation thesis writing in the last academic year or even the last semester. First of all, through the study of basic knowledge in lower grades, undergraduates can systematically master the theory and think about problems from a higher angle; Secondly, generally speaking, there are fewer courses in the senior year, and through the internship stage, students have a certain perceptual knowledge of book knowledge from theory to practice, so it is easier to write a better graduation thesis. On the other hand, such a time arrangement also has great disadvantages for students to write graduation thesis: First, students are too close to graduation time and spend too little time on graduation thesis writing; Second, students are busy looking for jobs, taking the postgraduate entrance examination and having little time for writing. Many college graduates do not choose their own topics when writing their graduation thesis. But according to the topic set by the tutor, look up several related documents on the internet. Clipping? Copy and paste together a graduation thesis. The quality of graduation thesis written in this way can be imagined, which loses the significance of graduation thesis writing. If students want to write a high-quality graduation thesis, they must first have a general understanding of the content and writing ideas of the graduation thesis, so it is very important to choose their own topics. In the lower learning stage, the instructor should consciously guide students to consult some documents as soon as possible, so that students can have a certain understanding of the research status of the courses they have studied, and let students read articles selectively in combination with their own knowledge and interests. In this way, students will not feel at a loss when writing their graduation thesis.
2.2 Collection and arrangement of graduation thesis materials
It is not necessary to read all the collected materials at the beginning. You can look through the catalogue or index first to find out the chapters related or closely related to the topic of your graduation thesis. Through extensive reading, we can get a general understanding of the research status and prospects related to this topic and avoid repeating other people's work. In these processes, there are several things to do: summarize the research status related to the topic of graduation thesis, sort out the outline or general idea of graduation thesis, and be familiar with the basic format and writing norms of graduation thesis.
2.3 Writing graduation thesis
When writing a graduation thesis, there are the following points to pay attention to. First, pay attention to the logic between paragraphs and chapters. For the graduation thesis of Neo-Confucianism, we should also pay attention to the rigor of theoretical argumentation and the systematization of knowledge, and discuss it with the topic as the core; Second, the exposition of the paper should be objective, generally using the third person narrative, trying to avoid using the first person; Third, the narrative of the content of the article should be detailed and appropriate, and attention should be paid to avoiding repetition. For innovative and controversial views, we should speak thoroughly and never be stingy with pen and ink.
3 graduation thesis literature retrieval
Graduation thesis is different from ordinary thesis. Professional graduation thesis is a description and reflection of scientific research achievements in a certain subject field. Without research, writing cannot be carried out. A certain premise of research is to master as much literature information as possible. The more books a person reads, the more comprehensive the information he searches, the higher his professional level, the greater the possibility of creative thinking and the higher the quality of his papers. Therefore, when writing graduation thesis, college students should first learn how to retrieve documents and know the methods and skills of document retrieval.
Literature retrieval is literature retrieval, which is one of the main means for modern scientific and technological personnel to obtain literature, and also the main method for college students to write graduation thesis to obtain information. When the graduating class began to write their graduation thesis (design), the school library and department reference room were crowded with students looking for information. However, most students look around in libraries and reference rooms, which wastes a lot of time and adds a lot of unnecessary work to librarians. Many students can't find the corresponding literature because they can't find the literature, which affects the quality of graduation thesis (design), and some even do the work of repeating the previous work. The main reason for this situation is that college students lack the ability to obtain literature information by hand. The author believes that it is necessary for college students to understand the relationship between graduation thesis writing and literature materials, learn the methods and skills of literature retrieval, and use relevant tools to retrieve the materials they need.
There are many kinds of documents collected by libraries and other document information institutions. With the popularity of the Internet, there are many electronic periodical databases in the library to choose from. Electronic periodical database is not only rich in retrieval types, but also fast, which is the first choice for scientific and technological personnel to find information.
The following is a brief introduction to several electronic periodical databases that are widely used at present:
(1) China knowledge-based engineering network (CNKI database). Led by Tsinghua Tongfang CD-ROM Co., Ltd. and Tsinghua University China Academic Journal (CD-ROM Edition) Electronic Magazine. Its CNKI series database includes periodicals, newspapers, doctoral dissertations, etc. , which contains the full texts of more than 6,000 domestic journals since 1994 (editor's note: there are now more than 8,400) and articles published in newspapers.
(2) Wanfang Data Resource System. It is a large-scale Chinese network information resource system established on the Internet, which is jointly developed by China Institute of Science and Technology Information and Wan Fang Data Group Company. It consists of business information system for business and economic services, science and technology information subsystem for science and technology and digital periodical subsystem. The scientific and technological information subsystem is a scientific and technological information group that integrates the full text of China scientific and technological journals, scientific and technological papers and quotations from China, scientific and technological institutions' papers and graduation theses from China, and scientific and technological celebrities from China. Digital periodical subsystem enables users to directly obtain the full text of some electronic periodicals newly provided by Wanfang on the Internet.
(3) China Sci-tech Periodicals Database. It is a comprehensive database developed by Chongqing Weipu Consulting Company, and it is also a well-known database in the domestic library and information industry. It contains nearly a thousand Chinese periodicals, newspapers and foreign periodicals, and its website
The databases briefly introduced above can be found in general university libraries. The retrieval of electronic periodical literature has two levels: basic retrieval and tracking retrieval. Literature-based search means that the title or content of the literature is generally unknown, only knowing which discipline or aspect the literature belongs to, or only knowing some keywords; Tracking search can roughly know the title, origin or author of the document and other related information. There are some differences between the two levels of search methods, which are introduced below.
Basic search of electronic journals, taking the website of Chongqing University of Arts and Sciences as an example. Go to the homepage of the school library first, click on CNKI China Academic Journal Network below the common database, select the full-text database of China journals, and log in with the default account and password (campus IP only). The search terms include article title, author, keywords, institution, Chinese abstract, citation, fund, full text, Chinese publication name and other options. Generally speaking, first-time users are the best choice? Title? Item, the articles found through it are close to the theme of the paper, and it is easy to find related articles. If you want to find an article by an author, you can choose. Author? Options. For example, Chinese majors need to write? A comparative study of Chinese and foreign literature? For articles in this field, you can enter them in the title option. Literature? , press? Search? Options, 32540 articles and? Literature? Related articles. Obviously, for tens of thousands of articles, we can't download one by one, let alone read one by one. At this time, we must make a choice. Therefore, according to the research topic, the search scope should also be narrowed. Are you online? Second search? Select a search item in the column? Title? , enter a search term? Chinese and foreign? , click? Second search? , 7 1 results can appear in the aggregate results. If you are interested in one of the articles, such as the views on cross-cultural research? Comment on Cao Shunqing's Comparative Study of Chinese and Foreign Literature. Click the title of the article, and then click? CAJ original download? Button, you can download the article to your computer, then download and install the article reader software CAJVIEWER6.0, and you can open and read the downloaded article.
The tracking and retrieval of electronic journal materials is relatively easier than the basic retrieval, because at this time we basically have some information about the documents to be retrieved. For example, we are reading a document on the perspective of cross-cultural research? After commenting on Cao Shunqing's Comparative Study of Chinese and Foreign Literature, if you want to know more, you can further search for literature in the references after this article. If you want to know the documents about the perspective of cross-cultural research? Comment on Cao Shunqing's achievements in comparative literature research by the author of Comparative Studies of Chinese and Foreign Literature. Can we choose among the search criteria? Author? , enter the author's name? Liu jiemin? Click search and there will be many articles about Liu Jiemin. For example, the current situation of western comparative literature research, 2 1 century? Comparative literature and world literature? Teaching thinking and other documents.
Generally speaking, it is better to combine two levels of retrieval methods in the retrieval of electronic journals. In addition, the retrieval methods of books, doctoral dissertations and conference dissertations are basically the same, but the databases used are different. Therefore, if college graduates want to write their graduation thesis well, they should master certain methods from the topic selection of graduation thesis to the search of literature materials, so as to get twice the result with half the effort.
