The assignment for the thesis is an individual guide to writing a thesis, in which the student is officially assigned a research topic, the initial data for its implementation are indicated, a structural plan is prescribed and a schedule is established.
Structure
The diploma assignment is prepared on a form established by the university and consists of two blocks:
- “Passport” of the VKR - it contains the information:
- about the university, faculty, graduating department;
- the student and his supervisor, consultants;
- source data;
- issues that should be considered (structural plan and semantic content of the chapters of the thesis) - this item is most often called “content of the explanatory note”;
- calculation and graphic material that will be submitted for defense;
- date of issue of the diploma assignment;
- deadline for submitting fully completed work.
- Writing schedule - a step-by-step calendar plan indicating the exact dates for submitting parts of the study for verification and correction.
The first block is signed by the diploma student, his supervisor and approved by the head of the department, the second (if drawn up on a separate sheet) - usually only by the student and the teacher supervising the writing.
Requirements for the preparation of initial data
The main sources for writing a thesis are a list of basic documents, publications in periodicals and other supporting materials containing information that will be used during the research. When completing this item of the diploma assignment, you must adhere to the following rules:
- The minimum number of sources is three, on average - five titles with complete data, for example:
- Pavlov A. A., Financing. - M.: Nauka, 2017;
- Federal Law dated... No. 000-FZ "..." as amended on November 27, 2017.
If the topic involves the study of foreign experience, then among the materials that serve as support for writing the thesis there should also be relevant foreign publications and documents.
- If the work is written on the basis of an enterprise, then its name is indicated in full - without abbreviations or with a decoding of non-commonly accepted abbreviations: for example, “LLC” does not need to be explained, but what is known only to a narrow circle of professionals or businessmen is mandatory.
- Textbooks, including reference books, cannot be used as literary sources; the basis should be current scientific works (dissertations, articles, monographs, collections of periodicals over the last five years), official technical documentation.
To avoid difficulties in selecting sources that satisfy all the requirements, you should make sure that there is a sufficient amount of information before approving the topic of the diploma.

INTRODUCTION
Relevance. Why did you choose this topic? A couple of paragraphs, total size - approximately 70% of the first page of the introduction
The purpose of the final qualifying work(more details about the goals here:)
Tasks of the WRC:
- First task
- Second task
- Usually there are 5-7 of them
Object of study in the WRC – the organizational and legal form and the name of the object of work. For example, LLC “Senior Lecturer Alexander Krylov”
Subject of study– what comes after the first word “improvement” or “improvement” from the topic of the WRC. If there is no such word in the title of the topic, then the subject of research is usually the first phrase
For example, the topic “Improving the financial condition of an enterprise (using the example of Diplom 35 LLC)”
Then the subject of research in the WRC is the financial condition of the enterprise
Research methods- the methods you used in your work. Personally, since I am a former senior lecturer in financial management, I write here all the time financial ratio method. It is reasonable to fill out this item after writing the entire work.
By the way. The financial ratios themselves, as well as financial analysis in general, can be calculated for free using this link: http://anfin.ru/finansovyj-analiz-esli-net-dannyh/.
Practical significance of WRC– is not present in all works. Here we write what a theoretical review of work can be used for, how you can use the results of the analysis, and how realistic it is to use VKR activities at the enterprise
Work structure– this section is also not always available. But if there is, then we write here: the final qualifying work consists of an introduction, the main part, a conclusion, a list of used sources and literature, and applications. The main part contains a theoretical review that reveals the topic of the final qualifying work, an analytical section that allows you to assess the current state of the research object, a design part containing a list of measures to improve the subject of research with calculations confirming their economic feasibility
The introduction is 3-5 pages long, no more is required.
CHAPTER 1. THEORETICAL REVIEW ON THE TOPIC OF WRC
1.1. Review of the essence of the selected WRC topic
1.2. Methods and approaches to measuring indicators characterizing the topic of WRC
1.3. Industry specific features of the WRC topic
You can read an article on how to prepare the first part of your final qualifying work here:. Where to get the theory - here:
CHAPTER 2. ANALYSIS OF THE STATE AND ACTIVITY OF THE OBJECT (ENTERPRISE) FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE TOPIC OF WRC IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE METHODS FROM P. 1.2
2.1. Brief description and main indicators of the condition and activity of the facility
2.2. Comprehensive economic or financial analysis of the facility’s activities
In this section, based on the initial data, a general analysis of the enterprise is carried out.
Regardless of the topic, you can conduct the following types of analysis:
2.3. Analysis on the topic of WRC
This section provides specific analysis for the topic of the work. You have to either come up with it yourself, or look for a ready-made one and remake it to suit your topic of work
CHAPTER 3. DESIGN OF MEASURES TO IMPROVE THE FACILITY’S ACTIVITIES IN THE DIRECTION SELECTED IN THE WRC
3.1. Conditions and prerequisites for the development of events
In this section we write conclusions on the analysis from the second chapter, since they are the conditions and prerequisites for the development of activities. This particular section may be located at the end of the second part - there it will be called “Conclusions”. Or it can be at the end of the second part, and at the beginning of the third. It depends on what your manager recommends.
You can read about the events for the third part here: . There are many events, you can come up with them yourself. In addition, they can be recommended by your supervisor or a representative of the subject of work, that is, for example, the head of a department of the enterprise, who can subsequently write a review of your work ()
3.2. Name of event 1
Here you describe how to implement the first event, what resources are required for it, what the deadlines for implementation are, justify the costs and planned income, describe the possible effect
3.3. Name of event 2
Here you proceed similarly for the second event
3.4. Name of event 3
Well, here you are describing the third event
3.5. Assessing the effectiveness of a set of proposed measures
Here you describe at least the following indicators - for all events at once:
— One-time costs
— Fixed costs
— Variable costs
— Income
Based on these indicators, you calculate economic efficiency indicators. At a minimum this:
— Profitability of a set of measures
— Change in the efficiency of the W&R facility as a result of the implementation of measures
- Payback period
At the end of this section, draw conclusions about the extent to which the activities you proposed allowed you to achieve the goal of your final qualifying work.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion you:
— Draw conclusions on achieving the goal
— Draw conclusions on all chapters, confirming them with analysis and project figures
— Describe options for using the results of research and development experiments
— Describe options for further research for which your thesis can become the basis
LIST OF REFERENCES USED
This is insanity, of course, but often works are sent for rework if the list of more than 30 sources contains more than 5 sources released 5 years ago. It’s somehow naive to think that the opinion of a dozen modern analysts who wrote their articles a year ago can even come close to the weight of the opinion of Henry Ford, who was the first to use the assembly line, Jack Trout, who came up with the concept of product positioning, or Jack Welch, the legendary CEO of General Electric.
During Jack Welch's two decades in office, from 1981 to 2001, the corporation's total value increased 30-fold, from $14 billion to nearly $400 billion. General Electric has become the second most profitable company in the world. After leaving GE in 2001, Welch wrote his autobiography, JACK: Straight From The Gut, which became a bestseller.
And if you use such a book and indicate the date of its publication, your job may be terminated. Therefore, adjust the release dates of information sources.
APPLICATIONS
APPENDIX A
In most economic works, Appendix A will be the balance sheet of the object of study for three years.

Department of Economics, Management and Marketing
Theoretically, it should be filled out by the supervisor, but in reality, the task is completed either by the student himself, followed by correction by the teacher, or this happens through joint efforts.
At the beginning of the last year, the future graduate writes a statement indicating the topic of the thesis and the chosen supervisor. Then the assignment itself is drawn up, which is approved by the head of the department. You can find out where to get a sample assignment for your thesis from the dean’s office or from the leading teacher.
An order approving the topics of the thesis is drawn up in the dean's office at the end of the first academic quarter and signed by the rector. If the assignment is not prepared in a timely manner, the student will not be included in this order and will lose access to the IGA.
Structure
The structure of the thesis assignment consists of two blocks.
The first consists of data about the student, the name of the chosen topic, goals and objectives, deadlines, and background information.
Once the rector has approved the topic of the final work, it cannot be changed. This should be kept in mind when completing the assignment. The purpose and names of the chapters of the WRC, prescribed in the WRC, are also not subject to replacement in the future. The deadlines for delivery are confirmed with the methodologists. Some universities require that graphic materials that are expected to be used in the work be indicated in the assignment for the final qualifying thesis.
The first part is certified by the signature of the supervising teacher and dated. The student also signs the assignment and indicates the date it was received.
The second block is a plan for preparing the WRC with a detailed schedule. The length of each stage of work is determined here; the date of definition of the topic is taken as the starting point. The last date is the day of the diploma defense. This includes the deadline for writing the review by the supervisor. The plan is signed by the student and the teacher. It is necessary to approach its preparation wisely, taking into account the volume and complexity of each stage. In examples of thesis assignments, it is advised to leave a small reserve for unforeseen circumstances. The extra time may be useful for more thorough consideration of individual issues.
Decor
How to fill out a thesis assignment?
If the teacher has completely shifted this difficult burden onto the student’s shoulders, the solution is simple: you can find on the Internet a sample of filling out an assignment for a thesis and actively use it.
Information about the student and supervisor is indicated in the appropriate columns. The goal must correspond to what the potential graduate will write in his future diploma. The same goes for content. Before filling out the form, it is advisable to discuss the topic with the teacher, since supervisors do not always approve of the student’s choice. For his part, the student can offer several possible options. The best thing to do is to first find materials, make sure there is enough information, and then agree on the topic.
Then they begin to write a detailed work plan, which includes chapters, paragraphs, subparagraphs, which are given working titles. The first chapter is usually devoted to theoretical issues, the second to practical ways to solve the problem, and the third contains proposals for improving methods for solving the problem.
In the “source data” field, you must indicate up to five sources on which the work will be based. Example: Yakovlev A.K., Marketing strategies. -M.: Economics, 2015. Most of them should be of domestic origin, for example, out of 5, three sources are from Russian authors, two are foreign.
If an enterprise is chosen as the basis for the research, its full name is written down.
The thesis assignment form itself can be downloaded for free, but please note that universities adjust the standard form to suit their requirements. The 2016 forms have not undergone any significant changes compared to the 2015 forms.
The main document defining the tasks, order, and deadlines for completing the research work is the assignment (see Appendix 4), which is developed by the supervisor with the active participation of the student.
The assignment for the project is drawn up in two copies and approved by the head of the department of economics and management. One copy of the approved assignment is given to the student, the second is kept at the department. The completion of the work (both in terms of content and timing) must be carried out by the student in accordance with the assignment.
Scientific management of the WRC
To write the thesis, the Department of Economics and Management assigns each student a supervisor.
The scientific supervisor is obliged:
1. Together with the student, discuss the chosen topic of the thesis, submit it for approval by the department and bring the decision of the department to the student.
2. With the active participation of the student, draw up an assignment for the graduate work and approve it at the department.
3. Assist the student in drawing up a work plan for the thesis, as well as selecting literary sources, normative and reference materials, statistical reporting and other materials on the topic;
4. Regularly advise the student on all issues related to the implementation of the academic examination.
6. Check the quality of the completed thesis, assist the student in editing and designing it.
7. Write a review on the WRC.
The review is certified by the signature of the scientific supervisor.
The thesis, prepared in accordance with the requirements, with a set of all necessary documents, is transferred to the head of the graduating department for admission to the defense at the meeting of the State Examination Committee.
The supervisor's review (Appendix 5) and a sheet of normative control (Appendix 6) are attached to the work in progress (they are not filed into the work itself). In the review, the supervisor notes the relevance of the topic, gives a general assessment of the student’s work, the degree of completion of the assigned tasks, the degree of independence of the research, and notes the compliance of the stages of preparation of the work adopted in the plan. The review may contain recommendations for using the provisions developed in the project in practice, for nominating a project or work for a competition, etc. At the end of the review, the manager expresses his opinion on the admission of the high-tech research team to defense.
The text of the student’s report at the State Examination Meeting must be reviewed by the supervisor. To illustrate the main provisions of the thesis, the student uses illustrative material (tables, graphs, diagrams, diagrams, etc.) during the defense process (Appendices 11,12).
The illustrative material submitted for defense in accordance with the assignment must meet the requirements, be checked and signed by the supervisor, and be presented to each member of the certification committee. It is preferable if the illustrative material is also presented in the form of slides.
The student is obliged, within the prescribed period (3 days before the start of the defense), to confirm to the secretary of the State Examination Committee his readiness to go to the defense in accordance with the preliminary registration, to obtain from him the necessary information about the date, time, place, order and procedure of the defense and to strictly fulfill all formal requirements, requirements for the protection organization.
If the thesis is not ready by the end of the approved period or does not meet the requirements, the head of the department, on the recommendation of the head, has the right not to allow the work to be defended.
Procedure for using the Anti-Plagiarism system
Final qualifying works are submitted to the appropriate department to check the independence of their implementation in printed and electronic form (doc format) no later than 15 days before the start of work of state examination commissions.
Students' bachelor's works are checked for independence in their development using the Antiplagiat system (www.antiplagiat.ru).
When submitting written work to the department, students fill out and sign an application in the prescribed form (Appendix 12), which confirms the fact that the bachelor’s work contains no borrowings from printed and electronic sources of third parties that are not supported by appropriate references, and the student’s awareness of possible sanctions in case of detection of plagiarism . Failure to submit an application to students automatically entails the inadmissibility of the bachelor's thesis for defense.
After checking the work for plagiarism, the decision on its admission to defense is made at the department where the relevant work is performed.
The student is responsible for submitting his bachelor's work for verification by the Anti-Plagiarism system within the established time frame.
The supervisor is obliged to check the written work using the Anti-Plagiarism system, make a decision on revision and re-checking the work for plagiarism, or on allowing the bachelor's work to be defended, within 10 calendar days after the student submits it for checking.
The head of the department where the bachelor's work is being carried out, if the student disagrees with the decision of the supervisor based on the results of the check by the Anti-Plagiarism system, appoints a commission of members of the department to review the work, the final decision on which is made at a meeting of the department. At the same time, the student is given the opportunity to express his position to the members of the department regarding the independence of his bachelor's work.
The procedure for admitting final qualifying work to defense after checking by the Anti-Plagiarism system
A student is allowed to pre-defend and defend a bachelor's thesis if it contains no more than 30 percent of borrowed text based on analysis using the Anti-Plagiarism system. The final decision on the correctness of using borrowings in students’ bachelor’s work, in this case, is made by the supervisor of the work.
If the bachelor's work contains from 31 to 50 percent of borrowed text (the originality of which was not confirmed in the process of analyzing the text for the correctness of borrowing), the work is sent to the student for revision within 10 days, while maintaining the previously established topic and, after that, is subjected to re-checking , no later than 10 calendar days before the start of the session or work of the state examination commission. In case of repeated failure to meet the requirements for the level of originality of the work, the student is not allowed to defend his bachelor's thesis.
A student who is not allowed to defend his bachelor's thesis is considered to have failed to complete the curriculum and, in accordance with the Charter of KNRTU-KAI, disciplinary measures are applied to him.
The results of checking the bachelor's work with the Anti-Plagiarism system are taken into account when assigning the final grade and are attached to the review of the supervisor.
3. Structural elements of the final qualifying work
The structural elements of the WRC are:
§ title page;
§ title page in English;
§ assignment for the graduate work;
§ annotation;
§ abstract in English;
§ introduction;
§ main part;
§ conclusion;
§ conclusion in English;
§ list of sources used;
§ application.
Title page. The title page is the first page of the document. It must be duplicated in English (second page of the work). Samples of the title page in Russian and English are given in Appendix 7.
Assignment for the VKR(Appendix 4). The original assignment for the thesis must be inserted into the work after the title page in English.
annotation
This is a short description graduation qualification work, which informs the reader about the general content of the work and the purpose of the research. The abstract should concisely reflect the data available in the thesis and allow you to quickly form a preliminary opinion about the thesis.
annotation begins with highlighting the main provisions of the thesis research. To do this, after writing your thesis, you need to briefly and succinctly formulate the purpose and objectives of the work within one or two sentences. After which you should indicate the hypothesis or problem of the thesis. Then the abstract must show the structure of the thesis. The abstract ends with a listing of the number of tables, figures, appendices, as well as an indication of the number of literature sources and pages in the thesis.
Abstract graduation qualification works must also be duplicated in English (see Appendix 8).
Introduction. The introduction justifies the choice of the topic of the WRC. The introduction should contain an assessment of the current state of the problem being solved, the object and subject of research, the relevance of the topic for a specific object (enterprise, workshop or other structural unit) is substantiated and the goal and set of interrelated tasks to be solved in the process of performing research and development work are formulated. The student must highlight the object and subject of the research and show the practical significance of the research and development work. At the end of the introduction, a summary of the main sections of the WRC should be indicated. The introduction by volume can occupy up to 5% of the VCR volume. The introduction should not contain figures, formulas or tables.
Main part. The WRC contains, as a rule, three sections, each of which in turn is divided into 3 - 4 subsections (paragraphs).
The first section is of a general theoretical/methodological/ nature. Based on a study of the works of domestic and foreign authors, it outlines the socio-economic essence of the problem under study, the methods used to analyze this problem, and the features of studying this topic in modern conditions. When presenting controversial issues, the opinions of various authors should be cited with the formulation of the attitude of the author of the final qualifying work towards them. In a detailed analysis of the opinion of a particular author, his statement should be given in full without abbreviations or changes (by quoting). If there are different approaches to solving a problem contained in regulatory documents or the works of individual authors, it is advisable to give them a critical analysis. After such a study of the theory of the issue, the author of the final qualifying work substantiates his opinion on a controversial issue or agrees with one of the existing points of view, while putting forward his own arguments.
This section serves as a theoretical justification for future developments, as it makes it possible to choose a specific methodology and technique for conducting a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the state of the issue in specific production conditions. The total volume of the theoretical section is 15-20 pages.
The second section is analytical in nature. It provides a technical and economic description of the enterprise on whose materials the work is carried out and an in-depth analysis of the problem under study is carried out using various research methods, including economic and mathematical ones. At the same time, the student does not limit himself to stating facts, but identifies trends in the development of the enterprise, reveals shortcomings and the reasons that determined them, and outlines ways to possibly eliminate them. Calculations must be based on specific information, illustrated with analytical tables, drawings (graphs, diagrams).
This section should serve as a feasibility study for subsequent developments. The depth and validity of the proposed activities directly depend on the completeness and quality of its implementation. Each paragraph must end with conclusions. At the end of the analytical section, a conclusion should be formulated about the overall effectiveness of the management system on the topic of work, its advantages and disadvantages, as well as the causes of existing problems.
The total volume of the analytical section is 20-25 pages.
The third section is design. In it, the student develops proposals and recommendations for improving the subject of research, increasing its effectiveness, eliminating causes and resolving problems recorded in the analytical section. All proposals and recommendations must be specific and brought to the stage of development that ensures their practical application. The basis for the development of specific activities and proposals is the analysis of the problem under study in Section 2, as well as the available progressive domestic and foreign experience.
At this stage of work, the consequences and specific indicators of the implementation of the proposals developed in the final qualifying work should be predicted and highlighted. Here the effectiveness of their implementation is determined. The total volume of this section is 20-25 pages.
Conclusion. In conclusion, the theoretical and practical conclusions and proposals that the student came to as a result of the research are logically and consistently presented. They should be short and clear, giving a complete picture of the content, significance, validity and effectiveness of the developments. They should reflect the main conclusions on the theory of the issue, the analysis performed and all proposed areas for improving the problem with an assessment of their effectiveness for a specific object of study. The volume conclusion can represent up to 5% of the WRC.
Conclusion graduation qualification works must also be duplicated in English
List of sources used. It must contain information about the sources used in the performance of the WRC and to which there are references in the text of the WRC. The list must contain at least 30 sources, including electronic resources. Information about sources is provided in accordance with GOST R 7.0.5.-2008. A sample list format is presented in Appendix 2.
Applications. It is recommended to include in the appendix materials related to the performed research and development work, which for some reason cannot be included in the main part. Usually this is auxiliary material that is not calculated or developed personally by the author, or is of an intermediate nature.
Auxiliary material includes intermediate calculations, tables of auxiliary digital data, instructions, methods, illustrations of an auxiliary nature, completed reporting forms and other documents, accounting registers.
If there are more than ten applications, they should be combined by type: intermediate mathematical calculations, test results, etc.
The total volume of the bachelor's work is 65-80 pages of typewritten text and formatted according to the requirements.
