Xu Chenyang looked back.

A middle-aged man in a black coat walked quickly.

The other party's dress is very simple, wearing a black round-framed eyes, and there is a lot of flesh on his face.

To be the most dazzling, it must be the opponent's sparse hair and straight hairline.

"Professor Yu, what's the matter?"

Of course, this person Xu Chenyang knew him. He was a professor in the same school's physics department called Yu Dong.

Yu Dong came to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a lot longer than them. Xu Chenyang, Zhang Wei and others came here to take office the year before.

But after studying for a Ph.D. in physics at California Institute of Technology, Yu Dong came to MIT as a postdoctoral and lecturer, and was hired as a full professor (a lifetime faculty position) by MIT in 15 years.

Yu Dong panted and came to Xu Chenyang's side, and white breath came out of his mouth.

"Professor Xu, are you going to Guanghua University?"

Because he was already walking through the process, the news was also revealed. He was not surprised that Yu Dong knew this, but looked at the other person like this, which reminded Xu Chenyang of the weather on Ludao.

The average temperature in Boston, USA in January is -6℃-2℃. The weather is still slightly cold, but the winter on Ludao is quite warm.

"Yes, I will return home at about the end of the month." Xu Chenyang nodded and asked with some uncertainty, "Is there anything wrong with Professor Yu?"

"That's the case. I want to ask Professor Xu about something. I don't know if it's inconvenient for Fang?" Yu Dong said embarrassedly.

"now?"

"Yes, now."

Although I don't have much communication in normal times, they are all Chinese after all. It is best to help each other overseas.

Xu Chenyang managed to squeeze a smile, "That's fine, there is a nice coffee shop in front, let's go inside and chat."

ten minutes later.

In the coffee shop.

The two men vacated a seat to sit down, took off their coats and set them aside.

Xu Chenyang asked Dong curiously: "Professor Yu, do you have anything you want to know?"

"Ahem, that's it."

Yu Dong coughed, twisted his body, and asked shyly: "I heard that Professor Xu, Professor Deng and Professor Huang are going back to China to teach at Guanghua University, so I want to ask you about Guanghua University. Thing."

"Oh?"

Xu Chenyang raised his brows and his interest gradually rose.

"Why is Professor Yu so interested in Guanghua University?"

…

I haven't finished writing yet, 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 envisaged at the beginning of the establishment but has not been realized so far, which affects the effect of this experiment. The purpose of this experiment was to establish a general education system similar to that of the top American liberal arts colleges, but after more than ten years of operation, this goal was not achieved. You can find many commentary articles on Peking University Yuanpei General Education on the Internet, with mixed reviews. But in a word, this experiment was not successful.

2. Yuanpei College of Peking University focuses on general education, but its current training model is not to offer general education courses by itself, but to adopt a combination of general education methods. Whether this method is good or not remains to be discussed, but at present domestic It is difficult to set up independent general education courses in the educational environment of China. This may be the "experimental failure" mentioned upstairs.

The so-called platter-style general education means that students of Yuanpei College can take all the professional courses in Peking University. Therefore, Yuanpei does not offer general education courses, but students can freely combine professional courses from different departments to achieve general education. The result of education. In the sophomore year, students are divided into majors. Students can freely choose any major in Peking University as their major (of course, the right to change directions and take other professional courses), or choose Yuanpei’s special majors: such as PPE (Politics) , Economics and Philosophy), Foreign Languages ​​and Foreign History, Paleontology, Integrated Science, etc. As the name suggests, these majors combine the relevant courses of various faculties and departments as your compulsory courses.

This century is a banner of undergraduate education and teaching reform. Yuanpei College has been exploring a broad-based and broad-calibre talent training model for 13 years. It is the first batch of domestic colleges and universities to test the waters of general education. The accidents, frustrations, embarrassments and even controversies encountered by "Yuan Pei" in this talent experiment fully reflect the difficulty and pain of general knowledge.

Peking University Yuanpei is the earliest and relatively mature model in the domestic general education reform. Now general education is being rolled out in various colleges and universities, but the current results are not particularly good—but at least one step has been taken.

3. According to the talent training plan of Yuanpei College, after enrolling, freshmen can theoretically choose any course offered by the whole school. They can listen to whatever they want. The course study plan is all made by themselves; from the sophomore year, students can follow You can freely choose the direction of study for your own interests, and there is no limit in theory.

"Mental freedom, academic freedom, and learning freedom." After almost all students enter Yuanpei, their first feeling is "freedom", but after that, most people will start to be "lost."

A student who enrolled in 2004 once published an article on the Internet complaining about Yuanpei's "free system." For example, the "tutorial system" that should be responsible for tutoring students to choose courses and majors has limited effect. In fact, the freshmen of Yuanpei's 04 freshmen can't even get a course plan of the department and must go to the academic affairs department of each department. "Look at it."

Compared with these trivial matters, UU reading www. The freedom of choosing courses at uukanshu.com has become a bigger obstacle-you can listen to the classes in the whole school, but what exactly do you listen to?

At Peking University, the undergraduate course plan is divided into two parts: professional courses and general elective courses. Generally speaking, professional courses are more difficult than general elective courses. It is envisaged that after any Yuanpei student is in his sophomore year and chooses his own major, the courses of other faculties previously selected can replace the general elective courses, and they can graduate after completing the credits.

For students, such regulations are tantamount to the shackles of "free treatment": choosing courses according to their interests, once the exam results are not satisfactory, they will lose a certain degree of freedom when choosing a major.

Many Yuanpei "comers" have personally experienced the process of compromising to "unfreedom". Zhang Wanting, a student in Yuanpei's law major in Peking University's 03 level, told reporters that in the first few years of Yuanpei's implementation, grade points were not a matter of importance. Difficult classes were a trend at the time.” But since then, the grade point orientation has become heavier and heavier.

The existence of the "Grade Point" standard still keeps students from choosing courses.

Zhou Wenjie was admitted to Yuanpei College in 2008 and is currently the class teacher of Yuanpei College, Peking University. What he observed was that the academy
