Self-taught examination is a form for candidates to take the examination themselves to improve their academic qualifications. Candidates need to submit their graduation thesis when they apply for self-taught graduation, so how to write their graduation thesis?

The first step is to choose a good topic. To sum up, in the process of writing a thesis, such as psychology, candidates have to go through eight stages: selecting a topic, determining a tutor, consulting literature, collecting data, processing data, writing a thesis, submitting a thesis, and defending a thesis. The following is the first stage, which is the topic selection.

In the three directions on the topic list, candidates need to fill in two topics that they are most interested in in in each direction. How to choose the topic of the paper? Based on years of experience, here are some suggestions for your reference.

1. Try not to do literature review topics.

A comprehensive paper needs to consult a large number of references. Generally, it only takes three months from topic selection to paper submission. It is quite difficult to consult reference materials to write an abstract in such a short time. Most of the candidates who failed in each thesis defense chose to summarize the topic. I hope everyone can learn from it.

2. Try to combine the topic selection with daily work.

First, it is convenient to collect information, and second, writing papers will help candidates to work in the future, killing two birds with one stone. On the other hand, choosing a topic that has nothing to do with work and starting from scratch can only lead to twice the result with half the effort. Candidates can choose some topics of clinical psychology if they are doctors, and some topics of educational psychology if they are primary and secondary school teachers.

3. Choose a topic of interest

Writing a paper is an original work. Therefore, candidates' interest in a certain aspect will encourage them to actively explore this aspect, and strong achievement motivation will be the basis for doing a good paper.

For all candidates who take part in the self-taught examination, writing academic papers is a challenging job, which is by no means as easy as imagined. In the process of self-taught examination, candidates can pass the examination through intensive reading, but doing research is a completely different process. Candidates can't know what they can do until they spend a lot of energy consulting a large number of documents. They also need to collect information, analyze data and write reports themselves.
