Recently, some netizens posted
The Faculty of Liberal Arts of a 211 Normal College
Students are required to pass the defense
Hand-copied graduation thesis
And laid out
Transcription requirements for up to several documents
However, if the number of characters is higher than 30,000, it is exempt from copying
According to the online post, the "transcription requirements" for graduation theses assigned by the college for up to several documents include:
- Students need to print the specific format paper that they copy;
- 400 words per page;
- A minimum of 30+ sheets of paper is required;
- The pen of the transcription can not be too thick, etc.
According to reports, student Xiaoling (pseudonym) told reporters that the name in the online post is the faculty of arts where they work, "Since last year, some students have reported to the leaders and teachers of the college that they hope to adjust the regulations to cancel the hand-copied graduation thesis, but they have not been able to change." ”
The reporter noticed that many netizens had posted on social platforms that they had encountered a situation where the school required hand-copying of graduation papers.
According to the "2020 Graduation Thesis Handwritten Requirements and Attachments" provided by Xiaoling, the college requires that "the body of the dissertation with more than 30,000 words can apply for exemption, and when the dissertation manuscript is submitted in the future, the consent form for the exemption application signed by the supervisor will be attached to the end of all materials." The 30,000-word requirement is only counted as the number of words in the [main text], excluding references and appendices".
In addition, the above requirements stipulate the order of hand-copied and stacked papers, which should be stacked in the order of "cover page - Chinese abstract - English abstract - table of contents - paper body - notes - references - appendix (with figures) - acknowledgment - proposal report - defense record form - grade evaluation form".
Xiaoling said that the students had also discussed this matter in private, and many people believed that the graduation thesis accounted for 8 compulsory credits, and as an academic thesis, it should pay more attention to the content rather than the handwritten or printed form. In terms of writing, there is a special assessment of three strokes and one stroke, and it is not necessary to reflect it in the graduation thesis.

The Paper commented that it is graduation season, and the pressure on young people is not small. Regardless of the policies or measures introduced, the first thing to consider is the feelings of the students.
