Registration of term papers (example). Requirements for the design of the course work

All students know that scientific papers need not only to be written correctly, but also to be properly executed. I would like to talk about this in this article.

GOST

First of all, I want to say that there are certain requirements for the design of term paper, compiled on the basis of several GOSTs. So, what points should be taken into account?

1. Structure. Despite the internal requirements for term papers, each of them should have a standard structure and consist of a title page, table of contents, introduction, main part, conclusions (and recommendations), list of references, applications.
2. This work should be printed on A4 sheets .
3. Indentation - this is what else includes the design of term papers (example: top and bottom - 2 cm each; left - 2.5-3 cm; right - 1.5 cm).
4. The interval between the lines is one and a half, the indent of the red line is 1.3 cm, the font is Times New Roman, size 14.
5. As for the cover page, it is assigned the number 1, however, it is not printed.
6. A new section starts from a new page.
7. The total amount of work is from 20 to 60 sheets (depending on the topic and requirements).

These rules are considered standard, they are not changed and strictly adhered to. Still, the rest may vary depending on the requirements of the teacher or department.

Title page

Any scientific work (term or diploma) begins with the title page. What should he look like? First of all, it is worth saying that with the staff of the department it is necessary to stipulate the design of term papers (example: on the title page such nuances as “Did” and “Checked” can be displayed differently). However, there are still some general rules.

1. At the top of the page, centering the text, you need to write the full name of the institution, on the next line - the faculty, indicate the department below.
2. In the very center of the page, again, aligning the text in the center, you need to indicate the topic of the course work, a little lower - the subject on which it was completed.
3. Next, it should be indicated who wrote the work and who will take it. Often the “Did” item is written on the right - the student’s full name, course, group are indicated there. Below can be the item “Checked”, where the full name and academic degree of the teacher will be indicated (this item can also be placed on the left side of the page), below can be the item “Assessment”, where the teacher will set the number of points for the work, the date of completion of work can also be put down , the signature of the inspector is required.
4. At the very end of the page, at its center, the city in which the university is located, and the current year are indicated.

Content

We go further, studying the design of term papers and dissertations. The next mandatory item is “Contents”, where all the main parts of the work are prescribed, on the contrary, page numbers are necessarily put down. The sheet begins with a title, which is written in capital letters in the center. The following is the basic information. It is desirable that the text be placed on one page. Also, this sheet is not numbered, although its serial number is 2.

Introduction

The next obligatory and very important section of each scientific work is the “Introduction”. Here it is equally important to know what the design of term papers should be (an example of writing this part can most often be seen in the methodology of the department). The following points will be important:

1. Relevance (here it is necessary to give an explanation of why this work should be written, how much the problem under study is relevant today).
2. Goals and objectives (the goal that you want to achieve during the study must be indicated, the tasks that will be several) are also listed.
3. Object (field of study).
4. The subject (clarification, the specifics of the object is what the research is actually aimed at).
5. Theory and methodology (here it is necessary to briefly consider the works of scientists who worked on this problem).
6. Methods (those methods are indicated that make this study possible. For example: analysis, synthesis, statistical method , etc.).
7. Novelty (it is indicated that the student plans to bring a new one into the development of this topic).
8. Testing (practical verification of the results of the study).

These are the nuances that must be indicated in each term paper, if there are no other internal requirements. As for the size, the introduction will take from three to 5-6 pages.

Main text

We go further, considering the design of term papers. An example suggests that the main part of the work, which will consist of three chapters, should now follow. In the first, it is necessary to consider the theoretical basis of the study, a brief historical excursion on this issue should also be present, and the legal acts related to the study are also considered here. The second chapter - this is the disclosure of the essence of the problem. Here the student displays all his achievements in a theoretical context. The third chapter is needed in order to provide the results of practical testing of this issue. For each chapter, small conclusions need to be drawn.

findings

We continue to study the design of the course work. The sample suggests that the next part is called “Findings” (possibly “Findings and Recommendations”). Here the student summarizes his work, indicates whether the goal was achieved, what tasks were completed, whether the hypotheses were confirmed or refuted (if any were indicated in the introduction). Also, the student can give certain recommendations to solve this problem.

Bibliography

A mandatory item is also a bibliography of course work. Making it up is no less important. It is worth saying that, for example, laws, monographs and articles are drawn up differently, there are nuances here, they need to be studied. Basically, it will be necessary to indicate the author's full name, source name, publisher, city and year of publication, number of pages. At the very beginning of the list of references are laws or regulatory legal acts, then English-language sources, then Russian-language ones. Sources are placed in alphabetical order.

Applications

The internal requirements of the department or the topic itself in the course work may include various kinds of applications. These are tables, maps, pictures that may be needed as illustrative material to cover a particular issue.
