First, guide students to choose the right topic
Choosing a topic is to choose a research topic. In order to successfully complete the graduation thesis, the topic selection of students' thesis is the most critical step. The success or failure of the paper and the grade of the paper largely depend on the topic, so we must treat the topic carefully. Before writing, we should carefully scrutinize, fully and properly prepare materials, and create conditions for the successful completion of graduation thesis. For the education of adult students, we should pay attention to the following points in the process of selecting topics:
(A) should pay attention to the reality of the topic
Choose a professional and realistic thesis topic. For adult education undergraduates, we must pay attention to the reality of the topic when writing graduation thesis, that is to say, we should combine the reality of social life and work practice and choose what we are familiar with, and we should not be divorced from reality and fabricate it out of thin air; It is necessary to contact theories that need to be solved and explained urgently in practice, such as "Thinking about the current appreciation of RMB" for finance majors, "Talking about the tax planning of real estate companies" for accounting majors, and "Cultural management of multinational M&A enterprises" for business majors.
(2) Pay attention to the feasibility of the topic and do what you can.
Students should fully consider the feasibility of subjective and objective conditions when choosing topics, proceed from reality, seek truth from facts, do what they can, and avoid being too big and empty. Subjective conditions mainly refer to the overall consideration of personal interests, knowledge level and theoretical basis, and must not aim too high and act too hard. Practice has also proved that it is impossible to write a good article on any topic you don't want to do. If the topic is moderate and the difficulty is moderate, you can succeed if you work hard.
Because most students in adult education have practical work experience, the basic conditions for each student to write a thesis are different, so the topics are basically different. We must pay attention to the above requirements and seek the basic conditions that suit us, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort.
Second, guide students to make full use of the Internet and libraries to search and collect information.
Collecting necessary information according to the selected topic is the basis and premise of thesis writing. Collecting data is a time-consuming, laborious and arduous task. To have rich data, you need not only diligence, but also scientific methods. Data sources include classic works, laws and regulations, policy documents, theoretical monographs, academic debates, typical materials, relevant statistical data, and situations and problems in practice. In the process of data collection, we can collect data through online data query and using the school library. Specifically, there are the following requirements:
1, the method of collecting data is: first wide and then narrow, from coarse to fine, from near to far, from outside to inside;
2. Don't choose outdated materials, pay attention to timeliness and novelty, have academic value and practical significance, and learn to grasp freshness and focus. For example, when some students majoring in finance wrote about the RMB exchange rate, they said that "at present, China's foreign exchange reserves have reached more than 200 billion US dollars", which is obviously out of date. This is the data two years ago, but in fact, China's current foreign exchange reserves have reached more than 500 billion US dollars;
3. The data should be authentic and authoritative, and cannot be fabricated. If a classmate writes a paper saying that "the current deflation situation in China is serious", this is obviously untrue;
4. The application should be appropriate and convincing;
5. It is forbidden to plagiarize books and related materials in a large space.
Third, guide students to write carefully.
Having novel ideas and rich materials does not mean having good articles. Views and materials are not theoretical articles. A good article must form its own theoretical system, make viewpoints and materials highly unified, and form an organic whole: ask questions clearly, analyze and demonstrate questions rigorously, and solve problems scientifically, so it should be written carefully.
(1) Outline and first draft
The outline, that is, the outline of the article, is the "skeleton" and "classics" of the article. To write an article, especially a theoretical article, you must first prepare an outline. It is an important step to write a paper, and it is also an important means to ensure the integrity and rationality of the article structure. Because whether a paper can achieve better results, the article structure plays an important role, which can ensure the improvement of the article quality and avoid substantive rework. The tutor should put forward specific requirements, especially grasping the structure and logical relationship of the article, which is very important for the success or failure of the paper.
The content of the outline generally includes the title, basic ideas and the structure of the article (including asking questions, analyzing problems and putting forward countermeasures to solve problems, etc.). ).
1. Determination of the title. The topic is regarded as "literary eye", which shows its importance. The article should also strive to draw up a good title. Generally speaking, the title of the article does not rely on rhetoric to strengthen the title, but emphasizes significance, accuracy, eye-catching, width and appropriateness, or clearly puts forward propositions, such as "the choice of RMB exchange rate system", "comparative study on the competitiveness of state-owned commercial banks" and "on the future of Hong Kong's linked exchange rate system". The title of the article should not be implicit, let alone obscure, clear, specific and clear at a glance. For example, some students majoring in finance wrote "Reflections on the RMB Issue", the title of which is obviously unclear. Which aspect of the RMB is it? The topic is clear at a glance. It should be clearly pointed out whether to write "RMB interest rate" or "RMB exchange rate" or "RMB appreciation".
Students in the process of determining the title of the article, there are three kinds of mistakes that are easy to make:
First, the article is irrelevant. Some students' thesis topics are not completely consistent with their own papers, even out of touch, or have little to do with them. For example, the topic is Thinking about RMB Appreciation in China, and most of the articles are about RMB interest rate, which is obviously beside the point.
The second is news headlines. Influenced by the news, some students often like to use newspaper headlines, such as "When did the open-end fund cross Chung Shan Man?" "Euro and Dollar: Who Will Rise and Fall?" Wait a minute.
Third, the title is too big. The title is too big, it is difficult to completely match the content and viewpoint expressed in the article, and the article looks big and empty when written. For example, the topic is "Talking about the Current Situation and Problems of China's Economic System Reform", which covers a wide range and contains too much content. If you write an article of about 6000 words, it is definitely empty.
2. The basic idea is the center of the article. This is the soul of the article. The basic viewpoints of the article must be correct, vivid, profound and novel. The basic idea should be expressed in the form of topic sentences. Words should be concise and accurate.
In the process of determining the basic ideas of the article, the most common mistake that students make is vague ideas, which makes people read the whole article, confused and confused, and don't know whether the author is for or against it.
3. The structure of the article. The structure of the article should be rigorous and strictly follow the writing rules. Students are generally required to write an article in three parts, namely, asking questions, analyzing problems and solving problems. Specifically, the outline can be listed through the first-level title, the second-level title and the third-level title respectively.
The compilation of the outline should be serious, complete and meticulous, and it must not be rushed, otherwise it will lose the significance of drafting the outline. Drawing up a detailed outline can make the author's thoughts literal, clear and systematic, thus determining the tone and focus of the article. Of course, after the outline is formulated, it will be revised, enriched and improved repeatedly, and the process of formulating the outline is a process of deliberation. After the outline is prepared, the writing of the article enters the drafting stage, that is, the research content is described in detail.
(2) Revision and compilation
1, carefully scrutinized and revised repeatedly.
Good articles are changed. Without careful carving and repeated revision, there is no good article. Everything from the structure of the article to the punctuation of the article needs to be corrected.
When revising an article, we must first review the content of the article, because the content determines the form, and the content and text of the article should be carefully scrutinized. Simple ones should be deleted, and anticlimactic and wordy chapters and sentences should be willing to give up what one favours. Followed by formal review. Form reacts to content. Without perfect form, content cannot be expressed.
2. Problems that students should pay special attention to when reviewing.
(1) Whether the central point of view is distinct and prominent, whether it has certain independent opinions, and whether it has been fully demonstrated.
(2) Whether the structure is complete, whether the hierarchy is clear and whether the reasoning logic is rigorous; If the structure is unreasonable and the level is unclear, it must be revised.
(3) The language of the article should be fluent. After careful deliberation, the language should be lively, the words should be fluent and easy to understand, the sentences should be concise as far as possible, the words should be easy to understand and the concepts should be used accurately. Although the paper requires strong professionalism, it does not mean that the more difficult the language is, the higher the level of explanation is. On the contrary, a good paper is often easy to understand.
(4) Whether the information is sufficient, detailed and novel, and whether the application is accurate, appropriate and convincing, students must correct inaccurate and outdated information.
3. After the content of the article is revised, students are required to typeset and print in strict accordance with the prescribed format.
