Why write a graduation thesis?
Text/Li Yaohui? This paper records the author's thoughts on this issue since he wrote his master's thesis. Graduation thesis is the most important index to consider a graduate student's study and research, and the writing process of graduation thesis is also the cultivation and embodiment of scientific research ability and creativity. Taking the graduation thesis of law as an example, specifically speaking, the writing process of graduation thesis is firstly a process of dialectical and practical application of legal knowledge; Secondly, graduation thesis writing is an effective means to cultivate graduate students' independent scientific research ability and practical work ability, and it is also an all-round training for students' comprehensive ability (theoretical judgment ability, proposition judgment ability, data collection ability, systematic thinking ability, problem finding ability, critical innovation ability, writing ability, organizational arrangement ability, reflective thinking ability, theoretical application ability, integration and cooperation ability, computer operation ability, etc.). ); Thirdly, writing a thesis will help to improve your theoretical thinking ability and problem-solving ability, and it will also make many life truths suddenly clear. There are bound to be many problems in the process of topic selection and topic opening. At this time, don't take refuge, seek easy. If you learn to face difficulties, you will gain more. As Liu Weipeng said, it is the same meaning to do it by yourself when encountering difficulties. The first step in writing a graduation thesis is to choose a topic. It's best to start with small topics and focus on big problems. Good topic selection means half the battle. This is my exaggerated summary of the importance of topic selection. Before choosing a topic, you must dabble in and browse relevant materials. Read a lot of academic works and related academic papers, or have a certain degree of understanding of related professional works. If you know nothing about this field, reading will often bring you inspiration. But the inspiration of generate does not mean the determination of the topic. Your inspiration is often accompanied by ignorance. The emergence of inspiration illustrates two problems: first, you have thought about the article in front of you to varying degrees; Second, you are still in a blank state on this issue. The latter was a warning from my tutor. The real inspiration for writing and topic selection is accumulated by reading a lot of related works. Through a lot of reading, you can find your own interests, and you can also decide whether your paper can be written smoothly, whether the domestic and foreign materials are sufficient, whether your questions can be answered, whether you can put forward your own unique opinions and so on. It should be a painful stage in the process of graduation thesis opening. Before every major research, Professor Chen Ruihua should thoroughly understand all relevant western systems before writing articles about China. The opening of a paper is not simply a report, but a thorough and all-round grasp of the theme of the paper. At the beginning of the topic, under the guidance of my tutor, I made a case study and theoretical analysis of related problems in the United States and other western countries (I studied the specific situation of foreign countries, one by one, and how foreign countries solved these problems. Why can't it be specific? XX, XX, XX, XX, XX, XX, XX, XX, XX, XX, XX, XX, XX, XX, XX, XX. The tutor once said that consulting materials is a basic course for graduate students. In order to solve the problems encountered when opening a topic, or to consult relevant foreign laws and precedents, you will go all over the library, and it is likely that you have learned or understood the methods of finding and consulting materials in the library that you have not paid attention to; You will read all relevant books in the library. After this process, you will master the trends and general contents of all relevant books and lay the foundation for future paper writing. You will also get online information through the Internet, and it is an important topic for every legal person to understand Internet retrieval tools and service methods. After solving this problem, you also know where to find the fastest and most effective reference when you encounter similar problems in the future. You also know which websites are the places to find the most valuable information in this field, and you also know which books to quote and refer to in future paper writing. Maybe in the process of bumping around, you will encounter other unexpected benefits. Thesis outline is an important link to ensure the quality of the paper. The outline of the paper is not patchwork, but should reflect the purpose of the theme of the paper as a whole. In the past, in the writing of undergraduate graduation thesis, I didn't pay much attention to the outline of the thesis, or even ignored it. After drafting the outline, it is necessary to overthrow the outline and find another way in actual writing, which feels a waste of time and futile. After the training of writing the opening outline of graduation thesis, I have a correct understanding of the outline, which is formed through repeated research, thinking and revision of the thesis outline. In actual paper writing, without an outline, it will be aimless and easy to digress. Once you have the guidance of the outline, you will be targeted and comfortable. When writing a paper, you need to act according to the outline. To deal with the relationship between content and outline, outline is the prelude of content, but outline is not static and needs to be adjusted in actual paper writing. Outline and content complement each other * * * perfect. The tutor said that the process of thesis writing is the training process of research ability. The writing of the thesis needs literary accomplishment and strong logical thinking ability. It is also the quality that thesis writing must have. When writing a thesis, this accomplishment has been cultivated and improved. The law graduation thesis especially emphasizes the logical thinking ability and the rigor of theoretical viewpoints, which makes it highly speculative, persuasive and explanatory. Thesis writing should be good at dealing with all kinds of affairs and time, collecting data and screening information, dealing with data citation and paper creation, dealing with the relationship between words and content, dealing with the size of space, and even studying related foreign literature and translating English original works. In the process of cultivating this research ability, one can develop scientific research habits and work habits, and have a scientific way of thinking and theoretical literacy. Only in this way can a person have lasting vitality in society. My tutor once said to me, "The training of any graduate student, whether master or doctor, must be carried out in accordance with the professional direction, so that the talents cultivated can have the depth they deserve." It doesn't mean that graduate students in a certain professional direction must work in that professional direction after graduation, but through the training in a certain professional direction, graduate students can develop scientific research habits and work habits, and have a scientific way of thinking and theoretical quality. Only in this way can talents have lasting ability in society. " In other words, a graduate student should have the ability of continuous learning in all aspects after professional training. The writing of master's thesis is to cultivate this ability. Professor Chen Ruihua said: "Familiarity with professional knowledge and maturity of research methods are two necessary conditions for a successful scholar. If knowledge needs to be accumulated step by step, then the method can achieve a leap-forward breakthrough. " Thesis writing must use several or more research methods, and master a set of operable research methods after training in thesis writing. To this end, you can also read books about the writing methods of papers, or books about the research methods of law and economics. The process of revising the thesis is a process of sorting out one's own academic thoughts, and it is also a process of listening to the tutor's revision opinions and exchanging dialogues. A paper can't be completed at one time without revision, and it often needs to be carefully thought over and over again, scrutinized and revised repeatedly. The revision includes changes in chapters and minor changes in punctuation marks. For example, my graduation thesis was revised in the draft of 15 before it was finalized, and each draft will be revised according to the revision requirements of two or three times (even more times). The abstract of the paper has been revised eight times, even the first five times are not revised, but a set of methods to learn the abstract of the paper. In the process of revision, the new criminal procedure law adopts different methods in introduction and legislative investigation. In the later revision, the relevant cases of American law were translated and analyzed, and the workload was unprecedented. In short, after more than a month of revision, the paper is more mature, the system is more perfect, the viewpoint is more thorough, the logic is more rigorous, the quotation is more scientific, the wording is more accurate and the format is more standardized. At this point, is there anything else to say? Of course, it's much more than that.
