I Am the President of the University

"Boom!"

There was lightning and thunder outside the window, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. The sudden strong wind hit the rain on the windows, and the sound made the two people in the house frowned.

"The rain is really getting heavier. I think you should wait for the rain to lighten up before going back." Professor Li Yong looked at the situation outside and couldn't help but shake his head. Not to mention Lu Zhou, even he himself was confused for a while. I can't leave the office anymore. Fortunately, I have books to keep me company in the office, so I don't feel lonely.

"That's the only way it can be." Lu Zhou scratched his head. He looked at the gloomy weather before going out and brought an umbrella with him. But in this weather, ten umbrellas, not to mention one, were useless.

Professor Li Yong unscrewed the thermos bottle on the table, took a sip, and curiously asked Lu Zhou, "Lu Zhou, do you have any questions about this afternoon's lecture?"

"No doubt, Professor, you taught it very well." Lu Zhou shook his head.

Originally, he wanted to wait for Lu Zhou to ask questions, and he could answer them just in time to show that his sword was still young. However, Lu Zhou did not follow common sense. Li Yong's face froze, and he coughed lightly, "Ahem, I understand everything." ?”

"Well, it's quite simple. You'll understand once you explain it once." Lu Zhou gave Professor Li Yong a strange look.

It's quite simple. You understand it after listening to it once? ?

Then why do a couple of students come up to ask questions every time after class?

Professor Li Yong was still unwilling to give in and found an excuse and said: "Well, I will give you a review after class. I will give you a few questions and you will do them."

After saying that, without waiting for Lu Zhou's consent, Professor Li Yong stood up directly, walked to the small blackboard next to him, picked up the chalk and wrote "swish".

With the sound of rain outside the window, Professor Li Yong wrote energetically.

Even the more I write, the more excited I become.

The question he asked now can be said to be beyond the syllabus. It is far more in-depth than the course taught today. If it were asked by other students in the class, Professor Li Yong believed that no one could do it.

But if this person is Lu Zhou...well, he shouldn't be able to do it, right?

After finishing writing, Professor Li Yong patted the dust on his hands, turned around and smiled at Lu Zhou: "Okay, that's it."

Lu Zhou raised his glasses, and a bright light seemed to flash in his eyes.

He stepped forward directly, picked up the chalk, and observed the question for a while.

When Li Yong saw this, a slight smile appeared on his face, "Xiao Lu, with your current foundation, you can't do..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Zhou started to move.

As silky as Dove, the hand holding the chalk seemed to be on a clockwork, writing non-stop.

Professor Li Yong was immediately speechless. He originally wanted to persuade him, but unexpectedly Lu Zhou started to solve the problem.

And looking at this idea of ​​solving the problem, he didn't even want to say anything.

…

five minutes later.

Lu Zhou stood in front of the blackboard and checked the process calmly until one of the formulas was not specified, which made him frown.

The chalk moved, and after the modification was completed, he nodded with satisfaction.

Mathematics is a rigorous science.

"Professor, do you think this is right?" Lu Zhou turned to Professor Li Yong and said.

Li Yong was staring at it from beginning to end. He already had an answer in his mind without Lu Zhou asking.

Looking at Lu Zhou, Li Yong sighed, "Your answer is even more standard than the standard answer. I just had one thought in my mind: How could there be a monster like you? It's so shocking!"

As the dean of the Mathematics Department of Ludao University and a leader in the mathematics community in Hu Province, no one would believe what he said, but Li Yong was really shocked.

He looked at Lu Zhou without saying a word, feeling sad in his heart.

"Why is Guanghua University so lucky to be able to find a genius in the trash?"

"It would be great if you were my student." Li Yong couldn't help but sigh again.

Lu Zhou looked at Li Yong and said seriously: "Professor, am I not your student now?"

Li Yong burst out laughing after hearing this, "Yes, of course. I am lucky to be your teacher, Lu Zhou."

"Professor, do you want to continue asking questions?" Lu Zhou said eagerly, as if this question was just an appetizer.

"No need, I don't want to laugh at myself anymore." Li Yong shook his head, sat down, picked up a document from the table and handed it to Lu Zhou.

"I have already written the English version of your paper. Let's see if there are any problems. If there are no problems, I will send the file to your email. You can submit it when you get back."

Even though technology is very advanced now, and you can read papers on a computer, it still feels better to read them on a computer than on paper. Many professors still print them out after they finish writing.

"Thank you so much." Lu Zhou thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

After receiving the typed manuscript, although his English proficiency was not high and it would be difficult to write the paper directly in English, at least reading the paper was easy for the student after this period of time.

As a partial-major student, he was admitted to Guanghua University not because he could not learn other subjects well, but because he did not study hard. For example, English was a subject that he was quite resistant to before. He felt that there was no need for a Chinese to learn foreign language.

But when he put aside this paranoid idea and put a little more thought into learning, his English ability improved by leaps and bounds.

At least I won’t need Professor Li Yong’s help next time I write an English paper.

Lu Zhou looked at the English version written with the help of Professor Li Yong and couldn't help but nodded a few times with admiration!

After all, he is a professor who is truly practical and has a very high standard. His words and sentences are completely flawless. Even those professional thesis translation companies may not be able to write to the level of Professor Lu Yong's article.

Putting down the paper, Lu Zhou said gratefully: "Professor, thank you so much for causing you a lot of trouble."

"What a big deal, as long as you study mathematics well, write a few more high-level papers and publish them at the four major universities in the future, so that the international mathematics community will know that our Chinese mathematics community is not bad either!" Looking at Lu Zhou's admiring eyes, Li Professor Yong smiled, feeling a little proud.

Lu Zhou is not an ordinary student. With this guy's learning ability, I am afraid that he will surpass me within a few years of teaching him.

"But why didn't you fill in your name?" Lu Zhou asked in confusion.

After all, Professor Li Yong helped me a lot this time and couldn't help but help modify the content. The English version was still written entirely by him, and it was normal for him to co-sign as the first author.

"The quality of your paper is quite good, and there is basically nothing that needs to be revised, so there is no need to add my name." Professor Lu Yong said nonchalantly.

"How can this be done? You helped me, and..."

Before Lu Zhou could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Professor Li Yong, "It's just a paper for the second area. Isn't it easy for me, Li Yong, to write a few papers? Besides, things like paper signatures, I know that many professors like to do this kind of thing. I don’t like this kind of trend, and I don’t like you doing this kind of thing in the future. You must be upright and upright, and you must not engage in evil practices. Lu Zhou, please remember this. !”

Seeing Professor Li Yong suddenly become serious, Lu Zhou also felt that Professor Li Yong taught him sincerely. He felt warm in his heart and nodded: "Don't worry, Professor, I will definitely not do such a thing."

"It's just that you did me such a big favor." Lu Zhou scratched his head. He had to give me some way to repay him.

"How about I treat you to a meal?"

"That's no need. How much money can you have as a student? There is a huge page fee for publishing the paper. Do you have enough money? If not, I can lend it to you temporarily." Professor Li Yong decisively refused, and then asked with concern.

Most international journals like this have to pay a page fee, which is basically a minimum of one or two thousand yuan, and some even cost six or seven thousand yuan.

"No, no, no, I still have money here. I won the Higher Education Society Cup in the Mathematical Modeling Competition, and the school awarded me a large bonus. The rest is pretty good." Lu Zhou quickly shook his head to reject Professor Li Yong's kindness. The other party had already helped. How can I ask Professor Li Yong to help pay the publishing fee when I am so busy?

Professor Li Yong couldn't help but smile when he saw the expression on Lu Zhou's face.

…

I haven't finished writing yet, so don't read it yet, wait until after 1 o'clock, I'm really sorry!

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 direction (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 Sciences, 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." After entering Yuanpei, the first feeling almost all students feel is "freedom", but soon after, most people begin 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.

Many people who have come to Yuanpei have personally experienced the process of compromising with "unfreedom." Zhang Wanting, a 2003 Yuanpei law student at Peking University, told reporters that in the first few years of Yuanpei’s implementation, grade points were not a thing that was valued. “Most students in 2002 and 03 classes chose courses according to their own interests. "Difficult courses were a trend at the time." But since then, the focus has become more and more grade-oriented.

The existence of "grade point" standards still makes students have difficulty choosing courses.

Zhou Wenjie was admitted to Yuanpei College in 2008 and is currently the class teacher of Yuanpei College in Grade 13 at Peking University. What he observed is that there are fewer and fewer students in the college who choose courses based on their broad interests, and many freshmen have strong plans as soon as they enter the school. For example, in the first semester of their freshman year, the course selections for Grade 13 freshmen are concentrated in the fields of economics, management, mathematics, political economics and philosophy, and there are no courses with a particularly wide span of subjects.

Xu Chongren explained that the biggest difference between Yuanpei and various departments is that traditional professional departments can develop themselves without external force, while Yuanpei often needs the support of the school to continuously formulate various special programs suitable for Yuanpei. policy. "Professors need to do research and need their own graduate students, so they must rely on professional departments. Yuanpei alone cannot do it."

Zhou Wenjie said frankly that the "freedom" provided by Yuanpei College for students is still a "negative freedom" in a sense. "Students have to take risks to choose courses without fully understanding what this major is about, and they also have to remember the website address, www.biquxu.Com, for easy reading next time, or enter it on Baidu " ", you can enter this site
