Undergraduate thesis "too water"

Attracted to "people of God of Wrath"

Sichuan University, Head of the Department of Literature and Journalism Gakuen News Xiao-yuan said that with the changes in the role of university education, undergraduate thesis has become tasteless. "Ordinarily, research papers required in a particular area a unique view. But you think about it, to an undergraduate in Journalism study or the History of Journalism Are there any breakthroughs or insights that may Mody? Students in order to complete the task, but to a large number of copy, paste, equivalent to the time for students to plagiarize; their teacher, but repeatedly emphasized one point: 'Do not steal, copy that you can not off hand, I also can not hand off', tutors do not have time, nor can it be for writing papers 11 guidance. Thus, not only to the students to write theses pain, the instructor difficult, too much water to the society accused the paper can be said that 'people were angry god'. with the current embarrassing situation, it is better to give up. "

Zhang Yuan that the elimination of the real significance of undergraduate thesis lies not only in the current undergraduate thesis "too water", just like chicken ribs, mainly to solve the serious discrepancy between university education and practice problems.

"Since 1999, the University enrollment began, the University for the society with more graduates. However, we have also seen the one hand, employment of university students is difficult, on the other plants being unable to recruit skilled people. This is why? University educational and social needs of the serious discrepancy. the industry's assessment of us, saying the words very nicely, saying that 'undergraduate students know that "The Times" which run for one year; graduate students know that "The Times" which run in January; Ph.D Health and know that "The Times" is a day to do the '--- While it is harsh, but also reflects our university education out of line with the industry, learning and practice of what the phenomenon of no contact. "

Courses will be emphasis on practical content

Assessing students at work

Compulsory examinations, thesis, and English 46 certificate, these three indicators are hard gatekeeper of university education. Thesis and English 46 exams have been vividly describe a four-year university career of the two "big mountain", not only college students feel the pain, but also to some experts and scholars criticized both the hands and feet tied a university education. After years of appeals after the 46-degree test was finally no longer linked. If the thesis are also canceled, only the remaining required course exams which one, and how to test and ensure the quality of undergraduate students do?

In this regard, Zhang Yuan said that after the abolition of Thesis, will be in contact with the industry instead of graduation design. "For example, tilt this talent in the curricula, increase information and written comment on the amount of hours; increase and the industry docking, each course as far as possible to the practical side. Such as" foreign news history ", we can say," Today the United States "is a How to succeed --- not simply regard it as rote knowledge. mining, writing, compilation, evaluation, social, and practice these things have to dock to let students to practice hands, and will include assessment of work.

"Specifically be considered qualified to complete the number of articles, reviews, news, communications, how many words, these details are not yet finalized, but will definitely be the type of media to make demands, we can not be too difficult, but also not too much water, but also to prevent the 'flower money to buy 'phenomenon. "

Ideas are being discussed in the
