I Am the President of the University

Ludao, Siming District, Green Island Community.

"squeak--"

The security door is closed. \b

Seeing Zhai Yang coming back from the door, Yang He, who was sitting on the sofa in the hall, said with some complaint: "Husband, didn't I ask you to see off Principal Chen?"

"Principal Chen said no." Zhai Yang replied without thinking.

Yang He couldn't help but hold his forehead, feeling like he was angry.

"You are just stupid. It's the other person's idea to say no, but as a subordinate you still have to give in. This is a matter of attitude."

"If Principal Chen said you don't need to give it away, then you don't need it." Zhai Yang began to frown and defended, "And strictly speaking, I am not a subordinate. I am just a part-time tutor at Guanghua College."

"Okay, okay, you are right, okay!" Yang He rolled his eyes and gave up the idea of ​​persuading the other party.

Lao Zhai's ability is beyond words. Although he is not the oldest in the Chemistry Department of Ludao University, he is definitely the strongest.

If it weren't for this stubborn temper, he would have been the chairman of the chemistry department.

"Principal Chen came to visit today to pay New Year's greetings. Let me remember one thing. Principal Zhang hasn't been here for several years." Yang He reminded him intentionally or unintentionally.

I remember that Zhai Yang or Principal Zhang personally came to the United States as a talent introduction and invited him back to teach. During the years when he returned to China, he took great care of him.

"The school affairs are heavy, and Principal Zhang has many things to worry about. Isn't this normal?" Zhai Yang said lightly.

"Hey, husband, how do you feel about this Principal Chen?" Yang He asked again.

"I feel pretty good. He is a down-to-earth and practical person. He is just a little impetuous sometimes, but that's normal. After all, he is still young." Zhai Yang thought for a while and commented seriously.

In fact, the couple Zhai Yang and Yang He are very grateful to Chen Hao and Guanghua University.

Both sons are studying at Tsinghua University and are about to go to the United States to study for doctorates this year. The cost of studying for two people's Ph.D.s is not small.

In addition, parents also have to worry about their children’s future wedding gifts, houses, and cars. This is not one bottomless pit, but two bottomless pits...

Yang He glanced at Zhai Yang and coughed twice, "What about Principal Zhang?"

Zhai Yang:......

"I won't say much about ability. At least Principal Chen is younger, more energetic, and more thoughtful than Principal Zhang, right?" Yang He snorted, and then his voice suddenly dropped a lot.

"I remember that the Chemistry Department of Guanghua University is still in preparation, right?"

…

…

After leaving Professor Zhai Yang's home, Chen Hao paid homage to two other senior professors.

The sky is getting a little dark, and evening is coming soon.

Chen Hao was driving to his last destination of the past two days.

A certain residential complex.

Standing in front of the familiar house number 404, Chen Hao gently pressed the doorbell.

"Come on, come on!"

Before the door opened, a clear and sweet female voice came from inside.

Hearing this voice, the corners of Chen Hao's mouth raised slightly, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Just a moment later, I felt inexplicably nervous for some reason.

…

ps: I feel so bad. I still have 1,000 words left to finish. Please wait a moment.

Peking University Yuanpei general education curriculum system

1. It has not been established since its inception. This is also an important reason why it was not envisioned when it was first launched and has not yet been realized, thus affecting the effectiveness of this experiment. The purpose of this experiment was to establish a general education system similar to the first-class liberal arts colleges in the United States, but after more than ten years of operation, this purpose has not been achieved. You can find many commentaries on Yuanpei General Education at Peking University online, with mixed reviews. But in a word, this experiment was not successful.

2. Peking University Yuanpei College focuses on general education, but its current training model does not set up its own general education courses, but adopts a platter-style general education method. Whether this method is good or not remains to be discussed, but currently domestic The educational environment makes it difficult to set up independent general education courses. This may be the "experimental failure" mentioned above.

The so-called platter-style general education means that students at Yuanpei College can take all professional courses at Peking University. Therefore, Yuanpei itself does not offer general education courses, but students can achieve general education by freely combining professional courses from different departments. The result of education. Majors will be divided into sophomore years. Students are free to choose any major within Peking University as their major (of course, they retain the right to change directions and take other professional courses). They can also choose Yuanpei's specialty majors: such as PPE (Politics). , Economics and Philosophy), Foreign Languages ​​and Foreign History, Paleontology, Integrated Science, etc. As the name suggests, these majors are a combination of relevant courses from various departments as your required courses.

A banner that launched undergraduate education and teaching reform in this century, Yuanpei College has been exploring a talent training model with a solid foundation and a wide range of talents for 13 years. It is one of the first colleges in China to test the waters of general education. The accidents, frustrations, embarrassments and even controversies that "Yuanpei" encountered in this talent experiment fully reflect the difficulty and pain of general knowledge.

Peking University Yuanpei is the earliest and relatively mature model in domestic general education reform. General education is now being rolled out in various universities, but the current results are not particularly good - but at least it has taken a step forward.

3. According to the talent training plan of Yuanpei College, after freshmen enroll, they can theoretically choose any course offered by the school and listen to whatever they want. The course study plan is all made by themselves; starting from the sophomore year, students can according to You are free to choose the direction of study according to your own interests, and there are no restrictions in theory.

"Spiritual freedom, academic freedom, and learning freedom." The first feeling almost all students feel after entering Yuanpei is "freedom", but then most people will start to feel "confused."

A student who enrolled in 2004 once published an article online complaining about Yuanpei's "free system." For example, the "tutoring system" that is supposed to be responsible for guiding students to choose courses and majors has limited effect. In fact, freshmen in Yuanpei Grade 04 can't even get a departmental course plan and have to go to the academic affairs department of each department. "Take a look."

Compared with these trivial matters, the freedom to choose courses becomes a bigger obstacle - you can listen to all the classes in the school, but what exactly do you listen to.

At Peking University, undergraduate course plans are mainly divided into two parts: professional courses and general elective courses. Generally speaking, professional courses are more difficult than general elective courses. According to the idea, after any Yuanpei student is in his sophomore year and chooses his own major, the courses he has taken in other departments can replace the general elective courses, and he can graduate with full credits.

For students, such regulations are tantamount to shackles in addition to "free treatment": they choose courses based on their interests. Once their test scores are not satisfactory, they will lose a certain degree of freedom when choosing a major.
