1, misunderstanding of writing length:

In this regard, I must state a fact. The quality of a paper depends only on your writing foundation and writing method, and has no obvious linear relationship with your writing time! There are many smart people around me who plan to spend half a year writing papers. Although my attitude is correct, writing a paper is not as laborious as I thought. Half a year is enough to learn all the professional courses.

My suggestion: for those who have a good professional foundation, it is completely enough to complete the graduation thesis in half a month; If your foundation is weak, the longest is 1 month. It is absolutely not recommended to write a thesis for half a year! Because the longer the line is drawn, the less motivation to write, and it will enter a vicious circle, and you have to make excuses for your laziness. However, there must be systematic planning when writing!

(1) Digest your own papers.

Defense is a form of examination and acceptance of the results of master's thesis. Postgraduates should have a clear purpose, correct attitude, build up confidence, and improve their analytical ability, generalization ability and expression ability by defending their master's thesis. On the basis of reading and reviewing the master's thesis repeatedly, we should pay special attention to the following points when writing a 20-minute defense report:

1, highlighting the importance and significance of the topic.

2. Introduce the main idea and structural arrangement of the paper (this part only explains the topic and does not discuss the content, because the teacher has read your paper).

3. Emphasize the originality and originality of the paper.

4. Explain what necessary work has been done. Because there are too many national defense students, the college has not used ppt at this stage. In the future, with the standardization, students should make a brief outline with pictures and texts. Try to read this report as well as possible. If you read it directly from the lecture notes or ppt, the effect will be very poor.

(2) Material preparation

Materials needed to prepare the defense meeting: 1. The manuscript of master's thesis. 2. National defense report. 3. The main reference materials, although you can't rely on these materials when defending, you can avoid the embarrassment and confusion of not answering when you can't remember them at the moment. 4.- 1- Graduate School of Civil Engineering and Mechanics

Writing paper for recording. In order to record the questions raised by the defense teacher and valuable opinions and opinions. By recording, you can not only ease your nervousness, but also better understand the key and essence of the teacher's question. At the same time, you can think while recording and make the thinking process natural. (ppt auxiliary introduction should be prepared in the future). 5. Dress neatly and solemnly. Boys should wear short-sleeved shirts, preferably ties, and girls should dress as professionally as possible. Dressing can give the defense teacher the most direct impression-how much you attach importance to the defense.

(3) adjust your mentality.

First of all, the defense should be clear about what graduate students should be examined in the thesis defense. Master education focuses on cultivating scientific thinking, how to turn scientific achievements into academic articles, and even create social benefits. Therefore, through the thesis defense, we can observe the following points:

1. The authenticity of the paper. Seeking truth from facts is the basis of scientific research, and the paper itself must be true and reliable, and fraud can not escape the attention of experts in the defense Committee. If there is a problem in this respect, the paper is bound to fail to pass the expert review.

2. Investigate relevant knowledge and application ability.

3. Investigate the comprehensive quality of graduate students, including the respondent's expressive ability. A successful speech is a combination of self-confidence and skill, and solid professional knowledge and careful preparation for defense are the prerequisites for success. It is also essential to use some defense skills, which can fully demonstrate the ability to organize research materials and display research results, and let others know what they have done. If we want to win this war, we must make an in-depth analysis of the purpose, procedure, possible problems and solutions of the defense, so as to be confident and enthusiastic in participating in the defense.

Steps to write an outline

The steps to write an outline are as follows:

(1) Determine the abstract of the paper, and then supplement the materials to form a summary of the full text.

Abstract is the prototype of content outline. General books and teaching reference books have abstracts reflecting the contents of the whole book, so that readers can know the general contents of the book as soon as they turn over the abstracts. When writing a paper, we also need to write an abstract first. List the title, headline and subtitle of the paper before writing, and then insert the selected materials to form a summary of the content of the paper.

(2) The distribution of pages of the original paper

After writing the abstract of graduation thesis, we should consider the length of the thesis and the number of words to be written in each part of the article according to the content of the thesis. If you plan to write an original paper of 20 pages (300 words per page), you can consider using 1 page for the preface, 17 page for the paper and 1-2 page for the conclusion. Part of this theory will be reissued. If this theory has four items, the first item can be 3-4 pages, the second item can be 4-5 pages, the third item can be 3-4 pages, and the fourth item can be 6-7 pages. With this allocation, it is convenient to equip and organize materials, and writing can be more planned. The length of graduation thesis is generally 5000-6000 words, because it is too short, it is difficult to tell the problem thoroughly, and it should not be too long as a graduation thesis, which is determined by the theoretical basis and practical experience of ordinary college and undergraduate students.

(3) Write an outline

Thesis outline can be divided into simple outline and detailed outline. A simple outline is highly generalized, which only shows the main points of the paper, and how to develop it is not involved. Although this outline is simple, it can be written fluently because of its thoughtfulness. Without this preparation, it is difficult to write fluently while thinking.
