Abstract: Graduation thesis is the last indispensable practical link in the process of undergraduate education. In view of the problems in the current graduation thesis, the reasons for the unstable quality of graduation thesis were analyzed, combined with the requirements of hydrology and water resources engineering education professional certification, and a “staged” graduation thesis assessment system was constructed. The whole graduation thesis process was divided into three stages: the beginning, mid-term and defense, and the corresponding graduation requirements index points for each stage, assessment and evaluation item index system, index weights, assessment and scoring method were clarified. The graduation thesis assessment system should be strengthened strictly to improve the overall quality and ability of graduates.

Key words: graduation thesis, assessment system, evaluation index system, scoring method
