Found a Shockingly Bad Thesis

It’s that time of year again — master’s thesis defense season. I’ve reviewed dozens of papers recently and my head is spinning. Many感慨. Sina reported a few days ago that China’s academic paper output has surpassed the US. What’s there to be happy about? Quantity over quality has always been our specialty and style, hasn’t it? Can dozens or hundreds of Chinese papers equal one good foreign paper? More papers isn’t necessarily a good thing, yet they tout it loudly. Sigh.

Master’s students need to publish papers to graduate — this paper, that paper. Short papers are okay, clearly priced, paid for with money. But the big thesis gets dumped on the advisor. The writing is absolute garbage. What to do? Not let them graduate? Can’t do that. But looking at the paper quality… I really don’t know what to do. The big environment, the big environment. When will it improve?

Alright, let me share a student’s Chinese and English abstracts — after three revisions. If this doesn’t shock you, it’s free. Best效果 when reading Chinese and English side by side.

Abstract (Chinese)

Nowadays in the computer industry, it is a case of a hundred schools of thought contending and a hundred flowers blooming. The author believes that in the area of network communication, there will be relatively significant development. This paper systematically elaborates on real-time network communication. At the same time, considering the actual situation at this stage: although every organization connects to the Internet via network, due to practical work needs, only some employees who need it are allowed direct external network access, while most employees are only allowed internal network access. Therefore, what this paper discusses is real-time communication within a local area network.

After carefully studying computer network programming, the author believes that simple access between just two computers is not actually difficult. Therefore, after synthesizing various current computer interconnection methods, the author used various methods to interconnect two or more computers, integrated the different methods in the final chapter, and finally presented a feature-rich real-time communication system. The methods include:

1. Socket-based real-time communication over TCP
2. Java RMI and CORBA interface-based real-time communication
3. Client/server Internet application-based real-time communication
4. Client/server multicast-based real-time communication
5. Servlet multi-threading and Applet multi-threading-based real-time communication
6. Browser/server-based real-time communication

This paper uses various mainstream and non-mainstream interconnection methods, different interfaces, different network technologies, and different network interconnection schemes to connect computers — from simple DOS-era serial and parallel port interconnection, to Windows Socket interconnection, to CORBA and RMI technology, and even web-based JSP technology interconnection — providing users with optimal interconnection solutions from different angles and technologies.

Abstract (English) — preserved as-is from the original, including the hilarious machine-translated bits (highlighted in red in the original):

Now the computer industry, as the saying goes, is the hundreds of flowers for Ming Fang, I believe that the network communication piece of this, there will be a major development. This article will be on the real-time communications network to do this piece of a more elaborate system. At the same time taking into account the actual situation at this stage: Although each unit will be the network’s way of connecting with the Internet, but taking into account the practical needs of the work, only some of the staff of the need to be able to directly access outside the network, and most of the staff, Only in the interior of their flats for network access. Therefore, this article discussed in the local area network to carry out in-house real-time communications.

I carefully studied the computer network programming, that is only if the two computers to visit the simple fact is not a problem. Therefore, I integrated the Internet at this stage of a variety of computer methods, using a variety of methods for more than two and a computer network for the Internet, and a variety of different ways in the last chapters were together, the last one to feature A wealth of real-time communication system by showing up. There are several ways:

1. TCP protocol based on the real-time communication network Socket
2. ’s Java-based RMI and CORBA interface technology, real-time communication network
3. Customers to use, Internet server applications for real-time communication network
4. To use client / server approach to multicast real-time communication network
5. Servlet use of multi-threading and multi-threaded Applet real-time communication network
6. To use the browser / server approach to real-time communication network

In this paper, using a variety of mainstream, non-mainstream methods of the Internet, use a different interface, different network technologies, network interconnection of different programs on a computer network Internet. From a simple DOS era serial, parallel the Internet, to the Windows of Socket Internet, to the RMI and CORBA technology, and even used the Internet page of JSP technology, from different angles and different technologies to the user the best Internet solutions.

Key words: Internet, computers, communications, real-time communications tool
