w88 casino News Network (provided by the w88 casino of Marxism)In order to strengthen the training level of professional talents and ensure the quality of doctoral dissertations, on January 13, 2025, the w88 casino of Marxism invited Professor Li Zhiyong, doctoral supervisor of the w88 casino of International Relations, to give a special tutoring lecture on the theme of "Doctoral Thesis Writing Guidance". All doctoral students and some master's students in the w88 casino of Marxism participated through Tencent Conference. The lecture was hosted by Vice Dean Huang Chuangen.
In the lecture, Professor Li Zhiyong combined his rich experience in supervising doctoral students and the professional characteristics of scientific socialism and communist movements to provide guidance on the entire process and all elements of doctoral thesis writing. He pointed out that a doctoral thesis is a high-standard review of academic ability and level at the doctoral stage. It is a relatively pure academic training journey and must be taken seriously. The topic selection should focus on the growth of knowledge in the professional field, highlight the theoretical nature of the doctoral thesis, highlight innovations in terms of theory, method, perspective, etc., aim at the needs of national strategies and deepen the theoretical implications, fully consider the feasibility of the topic selection based on one's own abilities, and find "small cuts" that interest oneself by tracking academic frontiers, paying close attention to reality, etc.; the literature review should take into account the summary and description of the literature, collect extensively, and study in depth, without omitting the right information. For authoritative literature, attention should be paid to improving the starting point of the research by learning from previous research results; emphasis should be placed on writing the abstract of the paper, stating the research conclusions in highly summarized and concise language, and the abstract should not be written as an introduction; the main text should strengthen the logical connection of the chapters, especially the elaboration of key chapters, and the summary length structure should be balanced to avoid unfocused points. The paper should be polished through repeated revisions, and the depth of argumentation and the validity of language expression should be continuously improved. He also particularly emphasized the academic standards for writing dissertations, pointing out that "efforts are in the details." Students should pay attention to many detailed standards such as annotations, standardized expressions, references, and avoidance of typos in the text. Finally, Professor Li Zhiyong patiently answered the doubts and confusion raised by the participating students, and launched a lively discussion and exchange.
In the summary, Vice President Huang Chuangen once again thanked Professor Li Zhiyong for being invited to give a special report despite his busy schedule. The lectures are rich in content and provide comprehensive guidance on how to write a high-quality doctoral thesis with a large number of examples and rich experience. He pointed out that Professor Li’s lectures were very targeted and timely at the critical stage when students were writing their dissertations. He hoped that senior students would absorb and digest them carefully and make full use of the following winter vacation to ensure high-quality advancement of dissertation writing. Junior students should continue to strengthen academic training through various channels and start preparing for dissertation topic selection to ensure that they choose a good topic and start well.
