More than 50 members of the thesis quality steering group, all teachers of criminal law discipline and master's students attended the meeting.
This meeting was presided over by Professor Ouyang Benqi. Professor Chen Hongbing, Professor Li Chuan, Associate Professor Qian Xiaoping, Associate Professor Liu Jianli, Associate Professor Liang yunbao, and teacher Jiyang, President Liu Yanhong, vice president Wang Lusheng and steering group of criminal law papers, made detailed comments on more than 20 master's theses on criminal law. Teachers combined with more than 20 criminal law articles, from topic selection to outline, from abstract to key words, from content to literature, etc., analyzed one by one, pointed out the problems, analyzed the shortcomings in many students' papers, such as lack of awareness of problems, major topic works, lack of discussion on listing facts, lack of normative writing, etc., which benefited the students present.
Professor Ouyang Benqi pointed out that the writing of the paper must be clear about the research subject and object, and each chapter should be set closely around the topic to ensure that the structure and logic of the article are clear and not discussed for the sake of discussion. In the process of writing, the concept should be applied carefully. At the same time, he pointed out that more attention should be paid to the details, and footnotes should be added to the theoretical views and data sources to standardize the application of references.
Professor Chen Hongbing paid attention to the students' lack of understanding of abstracts and key words. He pointed out that we should avoid outline abstracts, think about the selection of key words from the perspective of literature retrieval, and avoid empty words, such as criminal law regulation, legislative perfection, etc.
Professor Li Chuan put forward his opinions on the citation of foreign systems. He believed that this part of the content should not only stay at the level of listing and presentation, but should be closely combined with the content of this article, so as to provide reference for personal views to truly solve the problems in this field in China. For the problem of lack of awareness of the problem, it can be clear through the analysis of typical judicial cases.
Associate Professor Qian Xiaoping emphasized the importance of academic reason analysis. We should avoid the simple statement of theoretical litigation. We should make clear personal ideas and principles to enhance the depth of the article. At the same time, he pointed out the lack of space coordination and reminded students to highlight the focus of the article.
Liu Jianli, associate professor, pointed out that the layout of the article should be reasonable, avoiding the lengthy introduction, and emphasized again the importance of finding problems. He pointed out that the writing of the article must have academic value, avoid setting too large questions and textbook style discussion, and really make the problem point clear and be able to solve the problem through discussion.
Associate Professor Liang yunbao pointed out that the problem orientation of some articles is not strong, and suggested that students must clarify the core issues of the article research in the first chapter, and discuss according to the framework of putting forward problems, analyzing problems and solving problems, pay attention to the depth of learning, and clarify their personal views.
Mr. Ji Yang suggested that students should pay attention to details, such as the English title and abstract should be consistent with Chinese; the chapter title should correspond with the article title, and not break through the headline another portal; the third level title should be detailed, at least three of which should be listed; the criminal law articles should be quoted accurately, etc.
Finally, President Liu Yanhong entered the conference hall and commented on each paper one by one to help students find problems and clarify their writing ideas.
President Liu affirmed several papers with good quality and pointed out some specific problems in the papers with problems. The Dean stressed that the topic selection of master's thesis should not be large and vague, and should be subject-oriented to carry out progressive discussion. The title should also be carefully considered and linked with the theme. The literature quoted in the study of foreign law should be the new literature published in recent years, so as to avoid the discussion of the old literature, or it will lead to the lack of research significance. At the same time, the foreign regulations should be taken as the article The argument should not be simply stated. In addition, President Liu emphasized the two important issues of reference quotation and language expression once again. We should focus on the famous experts, famous articles and famous journals within five years, carefully consider the expression wording, and hope that all master students can correct their positive attitude under the guidance of their tutors, so as to successfully pass the sampling.
