This lecture invited Professor Lu Weixia, deputy dean and doctoral supervisor of the w88 casino of Government, as the guest speaker. He systematically shared on "How to Write a Master's Thesis", attracting the active participation of more than 150 students.
At the beginning of the lecture, Professor Lu Weixia took "the feelings and responsibilities of thesis topic selection and writing" as the starting point, emphasizing that academic research should be based on national needs and social concerns, pay attention to practical issues such as rural revitalization, environmental governance, and smart elderly care, and closely integrate personal interests with the frontiers of the discipline. She pointed out that the topic selection should have both academic value and practical operability. It should not only "stand high" to grasp the macro direction, but also "make small cuts" to ensure the feasibility of resources.
Professor Lu Weixia combined her own experience to share strategies for mining research inspiration from life practices, policy documents, and social hot spots. She encouraged students to make good use of field interviews to obtain first-hand data, while focusing on the depth and innovation of literature reviews to avoid duplication of research. In addition, Professor Lu Weixia particularly emphasized the importance of academic norms. In view of the current trend of widespread application of AI technology, she reminded students to strictly abide by academic ethics. AI can be used as a means of auxiliary research, but it can never replace independent thinking and original writing.
Subsequently, Professor Lu Weixia further analyzed the application scenarios of multiple methods such as case studies, data analysis, and text analysis, and proposed strategies such as "triangulation verification" to enhance research reliability. For cutting-edge fields such as high-tech empowered elderly care and new energy vehicle innovation, she suggested that students pay attention to national policy orientations, design research frameworks based on industry pain points, and focus on the organic integration of theoretical tools and practical analysis.
During the Q&A session, students actively asked questions such as “How to balance the innovation and feasibility of topic selection” and “Literature retrieval and review skills”. Based on specific cases, Professor Lv Weixia suggested that students make full use of CNKI, authoritative journals and other resources, pay attention to research trends in the past five years, and optimize research design through close communication with tutors and peers. She specially reminded that the technical route and time planning should be clearly defined during the project proposal stage to lay a solid foundation for subsequent paper writing.
This lecture not only provides practical guidance for graduate students in developing topics, but also further strengthens the academic support system of the college. In the future, the graduate student association of the college will continue to launch a series of academic activities to help students overcome difficulties in scientific research and make steady progress on the academic road.
