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, I don't want to get cold feet when writing my graduation thesis and go back to cram all kinds of knowledge. My paper doesn't even understand the most basic format requirements, and it is 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. Those who are engaged in management work in party and government departments and enterprises and institutions must learn to conduct investigation and study, and learn to draft work plans, summaries and reports. To this end, you must learn to collect and organize materials, ask questions, analyze and solve problems, and express the results in words. As for those who will be engaged in teaching and scientific research in the future, one of their important tasks is scientific research. University is a high-level education, and the talents it trains should have pioneering spirit, not only solid basic knowledge and professional knowledge, but also unlimited creativity to constantly solve new problems in practical work; Not only can we skillfully engage in general professional work with existing knowledge, but we can also boldly explore unknown fields of human beings and constantly climb the peak of science.
The process of writing graduation thesis is to cultivate students to carry out scientific research independently. By writing graduation thesis, students can understand the process of scientific research and master how to collect, arrange and use materials; How to observe, how to investigate and how to do sample analysis; How to use the library to retrieve documents; How to operate the instrument and other methods. Writing a graduation thesis is an excellent opportunity to learn how to carry out scientific research, because it is not only guided and taught by teachers, but also can reduce some mistakes and detours in exploration, and directly participate in and experience the whole process of scientific research and its various links, which is a systematic and comprehensive practice opportunity.
The process of writing graduation thesis is also a learning process of professional knowledge, which is a more vivid, practical and in-depth study of professional knowledge. First of all, writing a thesis is to combine the scientific research topic, apply the learned professional knowledge to practice, further digest, deepen and consolidate the learned professional knowledge in the process of integrating theory with practice, and transform the learned professional knowledge into the ability to analyze and solve problems. Secondly, in the process of collecting information, investigating and contacting reality, we can not only confirm the book knowledge we have learned, but also learn a lot of new knowledge that we can't learn in class and books. In addition, in the process of graduation thesis writing, students have conducted in-depth research on a certain aspect and topic of their major, which will cultivate their interest in learning, help them determine the specific professional direction in the future, and enhance their confidence in climbing the scientific peak in a certain field.
Third, the significance of writing graduation thesis
First of all, writing graduation thesis is an important measure to test students' academic performance in school and an important link to improve teaching quality. College students must finish the task of writing graduation thesis before graduation. To apply for a degree, you must submit the corresponding degree thesis, and you can get a degree only after your defense is passed. It can be said that graduation thesis is the intermediary and bridge to end college study and life and go to society. Graduation thesis is the first exposure of college students' talents, a weighty answer to the motherland and the people, and a register for joining the cause of socialist modernization. Although a graduation thesis can't fully reflect a person's talent, it may not directly bring huge benefits to the society and have a pioneering impact on the major. But it always shows a person's ability and talent to a certain extent, and shows his value to society. Writing graduation thesis is a memorable event in my academic career. The great interest in scientific research aroused in the process of thesis writing, the enthusiasm for scientific career aroused, the hard work in writing, the teaching of the tutor, and the exciting scene when getting the degree certificate will all become beautiful memories and be deeply hidden in the memory. In addition, writing graduation thesis is an important part of professional assessment for college students during their study in school. According to the teaching plan, students in the third year of university should write academic papers, and students who are about to graduate in the fourth and fifth grades should write graduation papers. 198 1 year implemented the national degree system, stipulating that all applicants for degrees should submit dissertations. At present, the graduation thesis writing system is not only widely implemented in universities all over the country, but also in various forms of higher amateur education such as TV University, correspondence university, staff university and publishing university. Practice has proved that writing graduation thesis is an important link to improve teaching quality and an important measure to ensure outstanding talents.
Secondly, by writing graduation thesis, improving the writing level is the need of the "four modernizations" construction of cadres. The Party Central Committee requires that in order to meet the needs of modernization, members of the leading group should gradually realize "revolutionization, youthfulness, knowledge and specialization". The requirements of the "four modernizations" also include the requirements for cadres' writing ability and writing level. Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out: "A revolutionary cadre must be able to read and write, have rich social knowledge and knowledge of nature, and think that the basis of work and learning theory is the hope of doing a good job and learning theory well." (Preface to the Cultural Textbook). On Chinese Studies, People's Publishing House 196 1 year) "Four modernizations" cadres must be pioneering talents. They should have the abilities of scientific research, invention and creation, organization and management, information acquisition, language expression and social activities. The cultivation and formation of these abilities are closely related to the improvement of writing ability. College graduates are one of the important sources of cadres in China, and their writing level directly affects the quality of the whole cadre team. At present, among our cadres, even those with college education or above, not everyone has a high level of writing. Some people study science and engineering but don't study literature, some study literature but don't write, and some people may have strong professional ability but poor writing ability. Some leaders just talk and don't do it. Meeting reports, drafting documents, and even a few words in a forum all need secretaries to do it for them. As Comrade Deng Xiaoping criticized, such people are bureaucratic, don't work hard, don't work hard, don't go deep into the grassroots, don't do things themselves, don't use their brains, and rely entirely on secretaries to write manuscripts and read them for five minutes, and sometimes they mispronounce them. This is lazy thinking. "(Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping, Volume 2, page 19) To solve this problem, in addition to correcting the ideological line and overcoming laziness and bureaucracy, one of the strengths and methods is to help cadres learn writing knowledge and practice writing, so as to improve their writing level, which is an important task that can not be ignored in realizing the" four modernizations "of cadres. Therefore, it also puts forward higher requirements for strengthening college students' graduation thesis writing and improving their writing level.
Thirdly, improving college students' writing level is the need of socialist material civilization and spiritual civilization construction. In the new historical period, whether it is to improve the scientific and cultural level of the whole nation, master modern scientific and technological knowledge and scientific management methods, or cultivate new socialist people, our cadres are required to have higher writing ability. In economic construction, as leaders and functionaries, they should write practical articles such as instructions, notices, summaries and research reports; Writing instructions, advertisements, comments and other explanatory texts; Also write scientific papers, economic reviews and other argumentative papers. In today's information society, information plays an increasingly important role in accelerating economic development and achieving good economic benefits. Writing is a signal of language, and writing is a way to convey information. The source, collection, storage, arrangement and dissemination of information are inseparable from writing. In the construction of socialist spiritual civilization, on the one hand, we should publicize Marxism, new socialist people and new things, the ideal of production, and arm the people of the whole country with Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory. On the other hand, we should criticize and resist the decadent ideas of the exploiting classes, renew old ideas and ideas, expose all kinds of unhealthy trends and ugly corruption phenomena that hinder reform and opening up under the new situation, vigorously develop socialist scientific and cultural education, and improve the scientific and cultural level of the whole nation. This requires our cadres, especially leading cadres, not only to write their own articles, but also to know how to modify other people's articles and guide the writing activities of the masses.
