Graduation thesis is the last assignment for students during their study in school. It can fully demonstrate and test students' mastery of what they have learned and their ability to use what they have learned to solve practical problems. The process of writing graduation thesis can be said to be a process of learning, combing, digesting and consolidating professional knowledge. At the same time, in the process of investigation, data collection and in-depth practice, we can also learn a lot of common sense and experience that we can't learn in class and books. Because the assessment and examination of the previous courses were conducted in a single subject, the content of the assessment and examination focused on mastering and understanding the knowledge learned in this course. To write a graduation thesis, we should not only master and apply professional knowledge and theory systematically, but also have certain self-innovation ability and practical operation ability (such as investigation and research, data collection). In this process, students can sort out and summarize the knowledge and theories they have learned, thus playing the role of reviewing the old and learning the new.
2. Promote the transformation from knowledge to ability.
I believe everyone knows the relationship between ability and knowledge. Knowledge is not ability, but it is the premise and foundation of acquiring ability. Turning knowledge into ability requires personal social practice. Graduation thesis writing is an important measure to promote the transformation from knowledge to ability.
Because most of the course examinations focus on the memory of knowledge, and the scope is limited to the contents stipulated in textbooks, this kind of examination has no room for students to choose independently (how to test and what to test is entirely up to teachers), and it cannot reflect and realize the improvement of students' practical operation ability. Thesis writing can just make up for this defect. One of the characteristics of the paper is innovation. Students must put forward their own new ideas, new insights or experimental results on the basis of previous professional knowledge and theories. In this way, the writing of the thesis will promote the transformation of professional knowledge into application ability and cultivate students' scientific research ability. Writing graduation thesis will help to cultivate and improve students' abilities of analyzing problems, theoretical calculation, experimental research, computer use, social investigation, information inquiry and literature retrieval, and writing expression. Lay the necessary foundation for future related work and academic research.
3. Provide reference information for related teaching work through question feedback.
Some problems will be exposed in the graduation thesis, which more or less reflect the teaching work of the school. For schools and teachers, if most students' papers are well written, the content and format meet the requirements, and they can give play to their own opinions, then it means that the previous teaching work has achieved practical results and there is no deviation in the quality training of students. On the other hand, if there are many problems in students' papers, it means that there are many problems in teaching, which need to be improved and adjusted accordingly.
4. Improve the writing level and written language expression ability.
Writing is a way to convey information. Modern society is an information society, and all walks of life are inseparable from information. The provision, collection, storage, collation and dissemination of information are inseparable from words. For college students, no matter what kind of major they are engaged in, they should have certain written expression ability. Because, after entering the society, no matter in which industry, unit or occupation, writing ability is indispensable.
Social investigation is a very important step in the process of writing a thesis. After the investigation, the investigation results should be compiled into written materials for learning. In this process, students' written expression ability can be exercised.
The process of writing graduation thesis is also a process of training writing thinking and ability. If you want to write a paper, you will inevitably encounter common sense, methods and skills in how to collect, sort out and identify materials, how to conduct social surveys, how to analyze and sort out survey results, how to write outlines and drafts, and how to modify and deliver them. By writing graduation thesis, you can effectively improve your ability to obtain information, express words, engage in social activities, exchange and research. In this sense, graduation thesis is not a form, and its internal functions are various.
5. Prepare for future work and research.
Graduation thesis is an article that summarizes and exercises nature. It has the intermediary function of connecting the past with the future. A student, after graduating from college, either goes to the society to engage in practical work or continues to study further. The writing of graduation thesis is a summary of the past and a foreshadowing for the future. Summarizing the past is to facilitate future work and study. It marks the end of a stage and encourages the arrival of a new stage. So when we are writing our graduation thesis, it is equivalent to "switching" between two stages. A well-written paper is conducive to future work and study. Every graduate should devote himself to this work with a positive attitude and correct methods, put an end to his previous study with practical actions, and start a new prelude for his future work and study.
