? The course scores are almost scored, and the composition has not been written yet; I'm graduating soon, and the first draft of my graduation thesis hasn't taken shape yet ... In short, I just don't want to write a thesis, I don't want to write at all, I don't want to write at all, even if I'm in a panic, I still don't move like a mountain, and I have to do some psychological construction before writing every time.
Grandpa Mao summed up the three magic weapons of China's * * * production party to defeat the enemy in the China Revolution. In the long-term struggle with newspapers, we still have three magic weapons.
The first magic weapon is not to think too much, start writing first, and it is best to write the prototype of the paper at high speed. Many students tend to think too much and read too much before writing, thinking that they will brew a world-famous paper, but even the best idea will eventually come to nothing. No matter how many documents you read, if you don't form your own opinion, you are a "reader". In the following situation, are there any children's shoes in the right place? If so, remind yourself to pay attention.
? As the saying goes, "Everything in the information age is attracting our attention. If you don't write now, you won't know what you wrote before next time. " . Therefore, the most correct way is to write, work hard and keep writing. Don't think that you can't write if you can't write.
? It is a fact that the paper can't be written, which is the norm. Ji Xianlin, a "master of Chinese studies" and a "first-class scholar", also complained in his diary that the thought of writing a paper gave him a headache. Why? Because thesis writing is not repetitive routine work, but arduous mental work, any kind of creation is full of unknown exploration. Therefore, the writing process is bound to be full of pain. We should treat this kind of pain correctly and try to overcome it. When you look back on the past, you will be proud of a work you have worked hard to create, and you will savor the beautiful moments that you persisted in doing after your struggle.
There are still many students who will say that in the middle of writing, they found that the paper was far from what they had expected, and they felt that their research had been abolished and they didn't want to write it. What are we doing? I'm telling you, it's normal! ! !
The writing of the paper can't be exactly as planned. The research framework and findings will continue to change through trial and error. We must firmly believe that although the final paper is not necessarily your original paper, it will definitely be a paper with content in the speech. Haruki Murakami in his work "What I Talk about Running": "I don't want to run today, so I will run. This is the way of thinking of long-distance runners. " The same is true for writing papers.
Remember, completion is the best result! ! Don't demand quality at once, good papers can be revised. Completion is everything. From scratch, from terror to popularity, all can happen in the process of change, but the key is to finish it first! ! Otherwise, during the deadline, you may fall into endless anxiety about writing a paper.
The second magic weapon is collage writing. What is collage writing? Collage writing is like collage of clothes. For example, if you want to complete a paper that includes four parts: A, B, C and D, all you have to do is extract from the works that you think are well written. There is something related to your part A in a particularly well-written paper. Extract it! There is something very close to your part B in another paper, which is very brilliant. Extract it! And so on, and finally form a rough draft.
The next thing you need to do is to look at each part of the argument first, because some arguments have become outdated with the passage of time, and you need to quote the latest data. Then, express what has been said in your own words. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Writing is essentially an imitation. It is more conducive to academic novices to learn and quickly acquire writing paradigms and a large number of background knowledge in professional fields.
Moreover, what we need to pay attention to is the particularity of thesis writing. What is the difference between it and general literary writing and prose writing? The biggest difference is that academic articles especially emphasize the connection with existing research and need to quote many other people's articles in the articles. Because your research can't be castles in the air and written out of thin air, it must be developed on the basis of other research. In this sense, collage writing is a powerful magic weapon for academic novices to help them write.
The third magic weapon is to borrow research tools or research methods to help you write faster. The article is written here, and some students may want to ask, what should I do if I still can't write anything? It doesn't matter. There is another trick. The most difficult trick is to skillfully use research methods and write articles quickly and well.
Having said that, let's first popularize two types of academic paper writing-theoretical writing and empirical writing. The so-called theoretical writing, similar to theoretical speculation at the philosophical level, is to study concepts purely in the literature pile, one concept nested with another, and pay attention to logical rigor. From educational affairs to educational theory: theoretical reflection on the 70-year development of pedagogy principles.
Empirical writing, on the other hand, needs to speak with data, analyze the collected data with research tools and get the research results. Fan Wenru, An Empirical Study on Students' Satisfaction in High-level Universities —— Based on the data analysis of "National College Students' Learning Survey". Theoretical writing needs to rely on a person's profound theoretical accomplishment and immerse himself in the literature for a long time. The actual situation is that most students have poor logical reasoning ability and have never studied elementary logic courses. Some people may not have taken a logic class even if they graduate from a doctor's degree. The second writing is very suitable for most people. You only need to master one research tool. After collecting data, you can quickly analyze the results, and the writing process will come naturally. In layman's terms, the data is in hand and the paper is in my hand!
Therefore, people who lack in-depth understanding of the professional field can't write theoretical papers. Write more investigation papers, which is grounded and efficient! Most importantly, it is still very popular in the process of publication! See the figure below for details. From the screenshot, we can see that many articles can be published only through a visual analysis software Citespace. The key is that the learning of Citespace is not so complicated and the learning cycle is short.
