Stylistically, graduation thesis belongs to the category of academic papers in argumentative essays. The so-called argumentative essay is an article that proves the correctness of Bai's point of view. It includes all articles that prove things, including political theory, literary theory, miscellaneous theory, or arguing, commenting, refuting, or thinning evidence, so as to distinguish right from wrong, dispel doubts and doubts, synthesize Dayi Chen, refute fallacies and so on. As far as the content of graduation thesis is concerned, one is to solve a problem in the discipline and answer it with one's own research results; One is to put forward only a certain problem in the discipline, synthesize the existing conclusions of others and point out the direction of further discussion; There is also a kind of partial answer to a question in the proposed discipline with one's own research results. The graduation thesis focuses on the reasonable division of objective things, points out their essence, and puts forward personal academic opinions and methods and opinions to solve a certain problem. As far as its form is concerned, graduation thesis has the general attributes of argumentative essay, that is, argument, argument and argumentation are the three major elements of the article. This paper focuses on logical thinking, emphasizes the fact-based, shows the rigorous reasoning process and draws convincing scientific conclusions.
Although graduation thesis is one of the academic papers, it has its own characteristics compared with academic papers:
The first is guidance. Graduation thesis is a scientific research achievement independently completed under the guidance of tutor. Graduation thesis, as the last assignment before graduation from university, can not be separated from the help and guidance of teachers. Teachers should give specific methodological guidance on how to conduct scientific research and how to write papers. In the process of writing graduation thesis, teachers should inspire and guide students to work independently, pay attention to students' initiative and creativity, help students determine topics, specify references and investigation clues, examine and approve the outline of the thesis, answer difficult questions, guide students to revise the first draft of the thesis, and so on. In order to write a graduation thesis, students must actively exert their intelligence, study hard and complete the task of graduation thesis writing independently.
The second is practice. According to the teaching plan, in the early stage of university, students should concentrate on learning the basic theory, professional knowledge and basic skills of this subject well; In the last semester of college, students should concentrate on writing their graduation thesis. Learning professional knowledge well and writing graduation thesis are unified, and the study of professional basic knowledge lays a solid foundation for writing graduation thesis; The writing of graduation thesis is the application and deepening of professional basic knowledge. Writing a graduation thesis is to use the existing professional basic knowledge to independently carry out scientific research activities, analyze and solve a theoretical or practical problem, and turn knowledge into practical training of ability. The main purpose of writing is to cultivate students' ability to solve practical problems by comprehensively applying what they have learned, so as to prepare for writing academic papers as professionals in the future. In fact, it is a practical academic paper.
The third is the hierarchy. Compared with academic papers, the requirements of graduation thesis are lower. Professional academic papers refer to papers written by professionals for scientific research and expression of scientific research achievements, which generally reflect the latest academic achievements in a certain professional field, have high academic value, and have a certain role in promoting the development of scientific undertakings. Due to various conditions, the quality of college students' graduation thesis is relatively low. This is because: first, college students lack writing experience, most of them are writing papers for the first time, and they know little about the knowledge and skills of writing papers. Second, the scientific research ability of most college students is still in the process of training. During their college years, they mainly studied professional basic theoretical knowledge, lacking the training of using knowledge independently for scientific research. Third, writing graduation thesis is limited by time. Generally, the school arranges the graduation thesis in the last semester, but in fact, the time for writing the graduation thesis is only about ten weeks. It is difficult to write high-quality academic papers in such a short time. Of course, this does not exclude a few college students from writing high-quality academic papers through their usual accumulation and full preparation.
Second, the purpose of writing graduation thesis
There are two main purposes for college students to write graduation thesis. The first is to comprehensively evaluate students' knowledge and ability. The second is to train students' basic scientific research skills, cultivate students' ability to analyze and solve problems independently by comprehensively applying what they have learned, and lay a good foundation for writing professional academic papers in the future.
Writing graduation thesis is the last comprehensive test of college students' knowledge, a general test of mastering and improving students' basic knowledge, basic theory and basic skills, and the first purpose of writing graduation thesis. During their study, college students completed public courses, basic courses, specialized courses and elective courses in accordance with the provisions of the teaching plan, and each course also passed the examination or assessment.
During the study period, this kind of examination is conducted in a single subject, which mainly examines students' memory and understanding of what they have learned in this subject. However, the graduation thesis is different. It is not a single examination of students' knowledge of a certain subject, but focuses on students' ability to use what they have learned to discuss and study a certain problem. To write a graduation thesis well, we should not only master and apply professional knowledge systematically, but also have a wide range of knowledge and certain logical thinking ability and writing skills. This requires students not only to have good professional knowledge, but also to have profound knowledge of basic courses and public courses. At present, most of the examination methods in schools are based on memory, which is limited to the general understanding of book knowledge, so it is difficult to fully understand the depth of students' mastery of theory and their practical application ability. Some students usually study in general, content to cope with exams, seldom take class notes and reading notes, know little about writing knowledge and seldom practice writing. As a result, when they wrote their graduation thesis, they just got cold feet and went back to memorize all kinds of knowledge. The paper they wrote didn't even understand the most basic format requirements, and it was logically upside down. There is also a class of students, who usually memorize, lack the ability to cultivate, and lack the ability to write and practice. These problems will be exposed when students write their graduation thesis. Through the writing of graduation thesis, students can find their own advantages and disadvantages, so as to overcome their own shortcomings in future work, and it is also convenient for schools and graduate employers to fully understand and inspect each student's professional level and work attitude, and discover talents. At the same time, it can also make the school fully investigate and understand the teaching quality, sum up experience and improve the work.
The second purpose of writing graduation thesis is to cultivate college students' scientific research ability and make them master the basic procedures and methods of scientific research. After graduation, no matter what job they are engaged in, they must have certain research and writing skills. In the party and government departments and enterprises and institutions
