These past few days I’ve started working on my graduation thesis, documenting some problems I’ve encountered, and I also hope to receive solution support from fellow classmates.

Q: What should I do if my graduation project deals with a very outdated engineering problem? The requirement is that references must be within the past 5 years…
A: There’s no good solution… You can only introduce the latest developments through the technical implementation and add references by expanding the background.
Is there a better way?
Q: How to cite some conference papers that don’t have a GB/T 7714-2015 version? What should I do? They can’t be found on CNKI either.
A: I set up an EndNote manager and downloaded the GB7714 export format as a temporary solution…
- Write the related work section and do extensive research
- Anywhere in the paper, even if the keywords are only tangentially related, you can drop a few references. I’ll give an example below:
Original: Auto‑scaling algorithms are of great help for load variations between day and night [1] and are an important component of cloud‑native [2], large language model training and inference [3] and other technologies.
In this example, your paper is about a very old auto‑scaling algorithm, and there aren’t many recent papers. However, topics like day‑night load, cloud‑native, and LLMs continuously generate new research! As long as you mention them, even tangentially, you can quickly throw in a bunch of references.

Q: What should I do if an SVG file exported from draw.io becomes blurry after inserting into Word?
Version: Office Home & Student 2021
Work done: Opened 【Options】‑【Advanced】‑【Do not compress images in file】
Result: Still blurry
Thank you for the answer!
I am currently using a similar approach, for example, when it involves 【Data Management System】, introducing analysis of data importance → LLM training

Thanks for sharing, OP. I have a question: can I use the template below?

Q：What should I do if my paper is terrible? Will I be failed?
A：The teacher doesn’t care; the teacher just wants you to finish quickly and go home to eat. Someone in the same group is doing neural network‑based handwritten digit recognition, and everything is fine.

I’ve used three LaTeX templates: two from classmates at the same level who got A+, and one from a senior. All of them were pointed out to have problems by the teacher, which is very frustrating. The purpose of using LaTeX is to avoid formatting; if you have to format, you have to modify the source code, which is extremely annoying.

Begging for graduation…
Undergraduate thesis, as long as it’s not a hard requirement, it’s unlikely to fail, for example: content not matching the assignment brief, plagiarism check not meeting the college’s requirement, insufficient word count, insufficient page count, insufficient references, and the rest are just formatting issues.
Among these, only the first two are relatively major; the rest can be fixed according to the feedback. When I did my thesis, I only ran a deep learning experiment and didn’t even compare with other networks. The first draft wasn’t submitted to the system for other teachers to write defense comments until three days before the defense, and the first draft became the final version. Now, the classmates in my group who are staying for graduate school have to report their thesis progress at group meetings every week, which surprised me. I only started working on mine after finishing the graduate entrance exam in early April, messed around during the mid‑term, and then didn’t really get going until mid‑May, rushing to write and finish it by the end of May.

I directly pasted the png 
In theory, it should support an infinitely scalable vector format.
May I ask if it was earlier? Did everything go smoothly from the proposal to the final stage?
Anyway, the defense is over; I don’t know whether it went smoothly or not.

If the defense wasn’t sent back, I feel there shouldn’t be any problem.
