杜梨 本科生不写论文也能毕业拿学位了。近日，南京航空航天大学发布通知，明确2026届本科毕业生可申请 用高水平竞赛获奖、创新实践项目结题、学术论文发表、发明专利授权四类成果，替代毕业设计（论 文）。 毕业不唯论文，传递出破除单一标准、让考评体系更加多元的信号。当然，多元导向并非降低要求，更 不是"放水"。细看上述学校规定的可替代选项，其实现难度并不算小。比如，南航对于替代成果的认定 要求是，学生必须是核心完成人，且体现专业能力，还需要通过严格的审核流程和现场答辩，通过率并 非百分之百；再如，以所谓"写小说"为毕业标准的，需要完成20万字以上完本作品，或连续两年每年更 新量不少于10万字的连载作品，或累计发表作品30万字以上。诸如此类的严谨设计，压缩了浑水摸鱼的 空间，恐怕比一篇毕业论文更难"突击"，也更能检验本科生四年的"过程质量"。 事实上，关于本科生要不要写毕业论文，一直存在争议。取消派认为，受限于学段与研究深度，大多数 本科生的毕业论文缺少学术价值，更与实践脱节，实属浪费时间精力；坚持派则认为，毕业论文要求学 生进行完整的学术训练，从发现问题、文献查阅、严谨论证到系统表述，也是塑造其思考能力和学术规 范 ...
