Fifteen thousand papers
For graduates, the thesis is their cover door. For this reason, anxiety, pain, insomnia, and even madness and hysteria. Strangely, however, the paper is getting longer and longer. For example, undergraduate dissertations have soared from 78,000 words to 89,000 words, to 10,000 words and more than 10,000 words, to 15,000 words or even nearly 20,000 words, almost reaching the capacity of directly awarding master's degrees.

Why is it getting longer and longer? Did modern students find the secret to crack the mask door? No, it's a demon made by Biao. At present, the process of undergraduate graduation thesis is more complicated, including project approval form, task book, opening report, mid-term exam, counseling record and so on. There are still many forms to fill out, which looks like a doctoral thesis. Not only the scheme is like a doctoral thesis, but also the content, such as research background, research status at home and abroad, research purpose and significance, research methods, preface and postscript, and thanks. It can be said that sparrows are small and complete. In this way, the original paper of seven or eight thousand words is getting bigger and bigger.

"Standard" is indeed a standard, but what is the actual effect? What are these forms for? How many people are serious? How many students still remember the title of my graduation thesis after many years? I think all the teachers and students involved have clear ideas. Since "there is a clear idea", why not "change the tune"? The normative answer is meaningful: afraid of evaluation! Oh! The evaluation is fierce! Experts are mighty! Experts are fiercer than tigers!

The paper is so long, but after the debate, if you ask him what he wrote. Many students looked puzzled: Who knows what this is? Moreover, what is even more amazing is that even these papers, which I don't know what I wrote, were actually rated as excellent papers. This is not a joke, but a real attack. I once heard of such a thing personally: when I heard that my roommate's paper was excellent, everyone was shocked and was guilty of being shot. There is a saying that satirizes some people: there is only money left. Borrow it: the standard of the usual paper may be just "standard". Some time ago, I read an online article in a circle of friends, saying that college students in China still have some independent thinking ability when they enter school. After four years of college education, the ability of independent thinking will be spotless.

There are many such "black" posts about education in China on the Internet, but I don't think so at first glance. However, I am somewhat "impressed" by all kinds of "strange situations" in students' graduation thesis writing. For example, when students are asked why they want to write a certain part of this paper, the students answer: other students have written it. Ask the same question during the paper debate, and the students answer: The teacher asked me to write it. Anyway, either a classmate or a teacher, there is no one. Originally, the thesis debate was about three debates, that is, distinguishing truth from falsehood, distinguishing degree, and arguing without arguing. However, these things are basically ignored in the usual thesis debate. Teachers only focus on helping students revise their papers, and the debate has become a "revision meeting" because many papers don't even understand the basic logic. It's natural that they don't know what they wrote. The original intention of the standard is to provide a standard that people can follow. However, if the standard becomes a formalism, a fetter that hinders thinking, and a killer that destroys students' creativity ... then, there is the red-haired monster, an extremely terrible and horrible thing.
