I Am the President of the University

Chapter 528 reinforcements from all sides

(It's not finished yet, don't read it yet)

Tianfu Province, Rongcheng.

University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Secretary's Office.

Two clouds of smoke rose slowly in a curved shape.

Two middle-aged men in shirts sat together as if exchanging smoking experiences, smoking silently.

"call--"

The tall and thin man wearing golden glasses exhaled and lit the cigarette on the ashtray.

Wang Ya glanced at the other party and asked in a deep voice, "Old Cao, what do you think of the support of this optical core research center?"

Wang Ya, a senior party official of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China.

"What do you think?"

Cao Yong frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

"This time, the support of various units of the alliance to the optical core research center, I feel that Guanghua seems to be in a hurry." After speaking, he couldn't help smiling, "That's right, who is not in a hurry? After all, this is light. Core!"

Cao Yong, President of University of Electronic Science and Technology of China.

"Yes, and the capital has also contacted me, so that we can satisfy and cooperate with Guanghua's actions as much as possible." Wang Ya said with approval.

"The capital has said that, so we should pay attention to it."

"kindness"

The two looked at each other, and they agreed.

"It's a bit of a headache for this candidate..." Wang Ya said with a frown.

In fact, it is not a big problem to support the optical core research center. Some young teachers can do some ideological work, but there are problems in the selection of the leader and the remaining professors.

Although it is only a year and a half to go, but not everyone wants to go.

Cao Yong remembered the document sent by Guanghua, and couldn't help but read it out.

"Electronic Science and Technology, Information and Communication Engineering, Optical Engineering, Electrical Engineering."

"Guanghua is really good at picking!" Cao Yong shook his head and smiled.

The University of Electronic Science and Technology of China was formerly known as Chengdu Institute of Telecommunications Engineering. In 1961, it was identified as one of the seven national defense industry colleges; in 1988, it was renamed the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China.

As the only 985 colleges and universities in Southwest China,

Almost invincible in regional engineering.

For example, in the fourth round of first-level discipline evaluation by the Ministry of Education, UESTC has 4 disciplines that were rated as Category A disciplines: Electronic Science and Technology, Information and Communication Engineering, A+, Computer Science and Technology, A, and Optical Engineering. for A-. The number of A+ subjects is tied with Xi'an Jiaotong University for the first place in Western universities.

Among the requirements sent by Guanghua this time, three of the four majors are the ace majors of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, especially electronic science and technology, which is the ace of the ace.

"Let the four majors be represented by Professor Zhou Jiang, Professor Kang Zaiping, Professor Li Bing, and Professor Huang Hao. As for the team leader of this support team..." Secretary Wang Ya pondered, and then said, "Let Professor Kang Zaiping lead the team. Bar!"

"Let Professor Kang go?" Cao Yong was taken aback. This Professor Kang Zaiping was a leader among young and middle-aged teachers at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China.

This is not afraid of packing meat buns - is there no return?

He couldn't help but reminded: "I heard that Guanghua is a bit fierce in poaching people. A while ago, I met President Huang of Lanzhou University at a meeting, and I kept complaining about Guanghua University's indifference, and sent special people to poach several senior professors. This is also the case with other Chongqing University and Northwestern Polytechnical University.”

"Our Rongcheng's urban competitiveness can still be improved, and how can this be called digging? It's a normal flow of people. Don't we have some professors from other colleges in Chengdian?"

Wang Ya said very frankly: "If you really want to leave, no matter how much you stay, you can't keep it. If you don't want to leave, you can't drive away. If Professor Kang is really going to be poached by Guanghua, then you won't go to Guanghua this time. Can it be avoided? If not, this worry is completely unnecessary.”

After Wang Ya said this, Cao Yong thought about it for a while, and it was true.

"That's okay, just as you can, Old Wang, invite these professors to talk." Cao Yong nodded.

After all, whether people want to go or not is one thing, and the school can't force them.

"If the time is arranged, it can only be a year later."

"It's natural, we can't drive people over soon after the New Year, right?" Wang Ya smiled.

...

After half an hour.

Rongcheng, a community in Qingyang District.

Professor Kang Zaiping, who was reading documents in his study, was interrupted by a phone call.

As the voice of the other party kept coming, Kang Zaiping's brows gradually locked.

"Well, okay, Secretary Wang, I understand, I will be there on time in the afternoon."

After the phone call, he rubbed his temples.

It seemed that this matter was a problem for him.

...

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 its establishment and has not been realized so far, thus affecting the effect of this experiment. The purpose of this experiment was to establish a general education system similar to that of the top 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 commentary articles on the general education of Yuanpei at Peking University on the Internet, with mixed reviews. But in a word, this experiment was not successful.

2. The Yuanpei College of Peking University focuses on general education, but its current training model is not to set up general education courses by itself, but to adopt a platter-type general education method. Whether this method is good remains to be discussed. It is difficult to set up independent general education courses in the educational environment in which the above mentioned "experimental failure".

The so-called platter-type general education means that students of Yuanpei College can elect all 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. Students will be divided into majors in their sophomore year. Students can freely choose any major in Peking University as their major (of course, they reserve the right to change their direction and study other professional courses), or they can choose Yuanpei’s characteristic 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 related courses from various departments as your required courses.

A banner that started the reform of undergraduate education and teaching in this century, Yuanpei College has been exploring a broad-based and broad-caliber talent training model for 13 years. It is one of the earliest institutions in China to test general education. The accidents, setbacks, embarrassment and even controversy that "Yuanpei" encountered in this talent experiment fully reflected the difficulty and pain of general knowledge.

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

3. According to the talent training plan of Yuanpei College, after admission, freshmen can theoretically choose any course offered by the whole school, and listen to whatever they want. The course study plan is all made by themselves; You can freely choose your study direction based on your own interests, and there is no theoretical limit to it.

"Spiritual freedom, academic freedom, and study freedom." After entering Yuanpei, almost all students feel "freedom" at first, but then most of them start to be "confused".

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

Compared with these trivial matters, the freedom of course selection has become a bigger obstacle - you can listen to all the classes in the school, but what are you listening to.

At Peking University, the undergraduate course plan is mainly divided into two parts: specialized 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 a sophomore and chooses his/her major, the courses taken by other colleges and departments before 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 interest, once the test scores are not satisfactory, they will lose a certain degree of freedom when choosing a major.

Many Yuanpei "people who have come here" have experienced the process of compromising with "unfreedom". Zhang Wanting, a 03-level Yuanpei law student at Peking University, told reporters that in the first few years of Yuanpei's implementation, GPA was not a thing that was valued. Difficult classes were a trend at the time." But since then, the grade point orientation has become more and more important.

The existence of the "grade point" standard still makes it difficult for students to choose courses.

Zhou Wenjie, admitted to Yuanpei College in 2008, is currently the head teacher of Yuanpei College, Peking University's 13th grade. What he observes is that fewer and fewer students are taking a wide range of courses based on their interests, and many new students are very planned as soon as they enter the school. For example, in the first semester of freshman year, freshmen of grade 13 choose courses in economics, management, mathematics, politics, economics, philosophy and other fields, and there is no course selection with a particularly wide range of disciplines.

Xu Chongren explained that the biggest difference between Yuanpei and various faculties is that traditional professional faculties can develop themselves without any external force, while Yuanpei often needs the school to push behind and constantly formulate various special programs applicable to 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 alone."

Zhou Wenjie said frankly that the "freedom" provided by Yuanpei College to students is still a "negative freedom" in a sense. "Students have to take risks to choose courses without understanding what is going on in this major, and they have to judge whether these courses can touch the core issues of the major." Especially for freshmen, the psychological pressure suddenly came up.

Not long ago, a post on BBS of Peking University went viral. The poster said that he applied for an extension of the schooling period, but was rejected by the school
