A: Choosing a good topic is the first step to success in writing a thesis. For adult students, there are two basic principles in the process of topic selection, either their own interests or their close connection with their actual work. Then such a topic will make you feel, have theory and practice.

2. Several common problems in topic selection.

A: Whether the topic is appropriate directly affects the quality of the paper and the success or failure of the paper. In the process of topic selection, common problems are as follows:

First, the topic is too big. Some students have the idea that since they are writing papers, they should have a good discussion. So the topics are very big, such as On Reform and Opening-up, On Party Building, Capitalist Economic Crisis and so on. Some first drafts are tens of thousands of words, but they are still not clearly discussed. It is not advisable to choose too big a topic. It's better to be smaller, more specific and make the problem clear.

Second, it is too difficult to choose a topic, that is, it is difficult to choose a topic. In addition to the limitations of time and energy, students also have limitations in information. Some people want to discuss "socialist economic law" and "China administrative management system" in a short time, which is difficult to solve. The laws of socialist economy and China's administrative management system need to be discussed, but it needs the joint efforts of many people and long-term and in-depth investigation and research to complete.

Third, the topic is outdated. The topic selection is outdated, lacking in innovative spirit, copying other people's materials and conclusions, and lacking in originality. On the basis of predecessors, dare to ask questions that have not been raised or have not been completely solved. It is better for students to choose more topics related to real life, contemporary economy and scientific and technological development, pay attention to new problems raised in real life and give new explanations from the perspective of Marxism.

The topic I chose is too big. How to write a paper?

A: The topics offered by general colleges cover a wide range, but only a general research direction and a broad research field are put forward. In the process of selecting a topic, students can refer to the topic, determine a specific research direction according to their own work experience, research interests, accumulated and mastered materials and access to research materials, and add a subtitle. This subtitle should reflect the clear research purpose, specific research object and targeted research content.

4. Can you change the topic of thesis writing halfway?

A: In principle, the college is not allowed to change the title of a paper in the middle of writing. Mainly because changing the topic requires rethinking and searching for information, which will waste a lot of time and affect the writing performance of the paper. Of course, one situation can be ruled out, that is, the instructor advises students to change the more suitable topic of the paper according to the framework and content of the paper.

5. What are macro papers and micro papers?

A: According to the size of the research questions, graduation thesis can be divided into macro thesis and micro thesis. Any paper that belongs to the overall situation of the family, is universal and has certain guiding significance to local work, and is called a macro paper. It has a wide range of research and influence. On the contrary, the papers that study locality and specific problems are microscopic papers. It is of guiding significance to specific work and has a narrow influence.

6. How to collect writing materials?

A: The basic work of the research topic is to collect data. Students can collect information by consulting materials in libraries, reference rooms and online, as well as conducting field research, experiments and observations. The more specific and detailed the information collected, the better. It's best to list the bibliography and detailed plan of information you want to collect. First of all, when consulting materials, we should be familiar with and master the classification of books, be good at using bibliographies and indexes, and skillfully use other reference books, such as yearbooks, abstracts, catalogues, charts, etc. Secondly, doing on-the-spot investigation and research can obtain the most authentic, reliable and abundant first-hand information with clear purpose, clear object and clear content. Survey methods include: general survey, key survey, typical survey and sampling survey. The methods of investigation are: meeting, interview and questionnaire. Finally, about experiment and observation. Experiment and observation are the basic ways to collect scientific data and obtain perceptual knowledge, and are the practical basis for forming, producing, developing and testing scientific theories. Of course, this method is often used in the research of science, engineering and medicine.
