The master dissertation proposals of attending class graduate students are compared with the control group to evaluate the course. The correlation between the class assignment and the following master dissertation proposals is also analyzed. [Result/conclusion] The results show that: the embedding class has positive significance for improving students' research capabilities in different aspects, such as research degree, writing regulation, reference selective periodical and citation criteria; postgraduate coursework and specification degree of thesis proposal document reference has a good linear relationship. The embedded course can play a positive role in improving students' scientific research ability.
