Graduation thesis can be divided into macro thesis and micro thesis according to the size of the research problem. A paper that is overall and universal and has certain guiding significance for local work 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.

There is also a comprehensive classification, that is, graduation thesis is divided into four categories: thematic, argumentative, comprehensive and comprehensive:

1. monograph. Based on the analysis of previous research results, this paper expresses opinions in the form of direct discussion and puts forward academic problems of a certain subject from the front. For example, Chapter 12 of this book, The Method and Artistic Analysis of Leadership Highlighting Work Focus, discusses the significance, methods and principles of highlighting work focus, which shows the author's affirmation and understanding of highlighting work focus.

2. Argumentative essay. This is a paper aimed at others' views on an academic problem of a certain subject, with sufficient arguments, focusing on exposing its shortcomings or mistakes, and expressing opinions through debate. For example, has the household contract responsibility system changed the nature of rural collective ownership? In view of the viewpoint that the household contract responsibility system has changed the nature of rural collective ownership, this paper makes reasonable refutation and analysis, and expounds the viewpoint that the household contract responsibility system has not changed rural collective ownership in the form of demonstration. In addition, a paper that refutes several different opinions or popular misconceptions in society with positive reasons is also an argumentative paper.

3. Summarize the paper. This is a kind of paper that introduces or comments on an academic problem of a certain subject on the basis of summarizing the research results of predecessors or present people to express their opinions.

4. Comprehensive papers. This is a paper written by organically combining summary and demonstration. For example, the article "On Several Issues in the History of Ethnic Relations in China" not only introduces the present situation of the research on the history of ethnic relations, but also puts forward several problems worth studying. Therefore, it is a comprehensive paper.
