I Have a Research Support System

After Xu Qiu left the laboratory.

Wei Xingsi called Chen Wanqing to the office and asked:

"What do you think of Xu Qiu's performance these two days?"

"Hmm...he's quite talented in scientific research, he's a quick learner, and he's quite diligent." Chen Wanqing thought for a while before replying.

Wei Xingsi nodded thoughtfully, and said:

"Okay, then you can teach him more recently and let him do some basic experiments for you. You can also save time and write your article well. When the time comes, give him a third article for your article."

"Also, see if he is willing to come here to study in graduate school, and see if you can keep him. Of course, you should be more tactful, and don't ask too directly."

"Yeah." Chen Wanqing nodded.

"Okay, then go back and do your work." Wei Xingsi said.

…………

On Friday morning, the first and second classes are the degree course "Material Preparation and Processing".

This course is a compulsory course for students majoring in the three majors of the Department of Materials, and is taught by Mathematics Zhou, the deputy head of the Department of Materials.

The three people in Xu Qiu's dormitory happened to belong to three different majors in the Department of Materials, Tao Yan was in Materials Physics, and Ren Bin was in Electronic Science and Technology.

Therefore, "Material Preparation and Processing" is one of the few courses that three people can take together.

They traveled together, Tao Yan curiously said on the way:

"Binzi, didn't you often wake up and then get up for lunch before, why did you wake up so early today?"

"Hey, Zhou Mathematics called me by name in class last week, and asked a classmate who knew me to send me a message in class, saying that my name will be called in the next class. Dare I not go to this class?" Ren Bin said .

"Hey, did he say that? I don't remember why." Tao Yan said.

"Brother, because you also skipped class." Xu Qiu couldn't help interjecting.

Tao Yan slapped his forehead and suddenly realized:

"Oh, I remembered. Last Friday morning, I went to the school hospital with my sister. It was almost 9:30, and I didn't go to class."

Xu Qiu and Ren Bin looked at Tao Yan with disdain.

Tao Yan hurriedly said: "No, I didn't, listen to my explanation..."

Ren Bin reached out and patted Tao Yan's shoulder, saying, "There's no need to explain, we all understand."

The three of them arrived at the classroom a few minutes early.

"Material Preparation and Processing" is a large class with more than 80 people, and the seats are relatively tight, so they didn't find a vacant seat for the third company, so they found a seat separately.

Zhou Mathematics is called in every class.

But he is not the kind of teacher who takes the roster and reads it one by one. According to him, it will waste a lot of teaching time.

When he talked about a certain knowledge point, he thought of a question, and he would randomly ask a classmate to answer it.

If the answer is correct, 1 point will be added to the usual score, and no point will be deducted if the answer is wrong. If no one responds, whether it is skipping class or falling asleep in class, 3 points will be deducted.

...

About half an hour after the first class.

Zhou Mathematics scanned the students below, some of them were yawning sleepily, and some of them were lying on the table with their heads down.

He intended to refresh the students, so he said:

"What's the difference between thermosets and thermoplastics? Let's get someone to answer."

He took out the roster, looked at the roll call of the previous class, and found a classmate with a cross.

"Ren Bin, is student Ren Bin there?" Zhou Xue said.

Ren Bin raised his hand as a signal, and then stood up.

Zhou Mathematics: "What question did I just ask?"

Ren Bin was distracted just now, completely unaware of what the problem was. He stood there pretending to think for five or six seconds, and said:

"Teacher, I don't know."

Zhou Mathematics: "Okay, please sit down and listen carefully in class."

After this wave, the students were really refreshed and began to secretly exchange the content and answers of the questions just now. Even the students who were sleeping were called up by the friends sitting next to them.

Zhou Mathematics drew a circle behind Ren Bin's name on the roster, and then picked another name at random.

"Xu Qiu, is classmate Xu Qiu there?"

Xu Qiu stood up calmly, this kind of general knowledge question was not difficult for him at all.

Zhou Mathematics: "What question did I just ask?"

Xu Qiu: "The question asked by the teacher just now is 'what is the difference between thermosetting plastics and thermoplastic plastics'. The answer is that one is insoluble and non-melting, and the other is soluble and fusible."

Zhou Mathematics nodded: "The answer is correct, please sit down."

Then a triangle was drawn behind Xu Qiu's name.

...

The class was in its last few minutes.

Zhou Mathematics patted the desk, waited for a while, and after most of the students turned their attention to him, he continued:

"The course content of this course has been introduced to the students today.

The next class is a question-and-answer class, and then we will enter the exam week. The exam date of our course is tentatively scheduled for one month later. This classroom is a bit small and cannot accommodate so many people. It may be split into two classrooms for the exam. .

The exam mode is a closed-book exam. The specific time and place will be sent to you by email after I confirm with the Academic Affairs Office. "

The faces of the students below changed when they heard him say "send the email".

According to the seniors of the previous class, Zhou Mathematics grades are very strict. After their results came out, more than 80 people got 2 A, 3 A-, 34 F...

The most coquettish thing is that Zhou Mathematics also emailed the list of students who failed the course to everyone in the class.

Later, his explanation was that the wrong packet was selected when sending.

Fortunately, after the make-up exam at the beginning of the semester, all 34 people who failed the course passed.

According to the regulations of the Academic Affairs Office of Modu Comprehensive University, for courses with more than 5 students, the A and A- points cannot exceed 30% of the total number of students enrolled in the course, but there is no regulation on the proportion of F points for a course.

The converted grade points of A, B, C, D, and F are 4.0, 3.0, 2.0, 1.3, and 0. If there is a +, it will increase by 0.3, and if it has a -, it will subtract 0.3. The total grade point is the weighted average of all course grade points with credits. value.

Among them, grade D has no D+ but only D-, D- means failing the subject and passing the make-up exam, and F means failing the subject and failing the make-up exam or failing the exam due to absence.

In order to make students’ grade points not too ugly, many teachers will first give 30% of A and A-, and then give 40% to 60% of B+, 10 to 30% of B and B-, C and D grades Grades are not given or only given to one or two students, and F will only be given if the paper grades cannot be read or the exam is absent.

Generally, such teachers are also called "B+ Unlimited" teachers, and they are very popular when choosing courses at the beginning of the semester.

Some seniors even developed a software called GPA TOOL, which counts the historical scores of many teachers, which can be used as a reference for students when choosing courses.

...

After class, Ren Bin found Xu Qiu and Tao Yan.

"This course has more than 500 pages of PPT, and it is still a closed-book exam. Xu Qiu, you must help me. If I fail the subject again, my GPA will be 1.9." Ren Bin said.

"Okay, I'll keep your keyboard and mouse for you when you go back, and I'll return them to you after the exam." Xu Qiu said.

"This is not good..." Ren Bin hesitated.

"This course mainly relies on memorizing knowledge points, and it will take a lot of time, so this should be the best way." Xu Qiu said.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Ren Bin seemed to have made up his mind.

"Binzi, don't panic. I'm still here. After I finish my review, I'll send you the summary." Tao Yan interjected.

"Tao Yan, you also review? Didn't you take the test naked before?" Ren Bin looked disbelieving.

"The grades of this semester will also affect the results of the graduate school, so I can only work hard. I'm not like Xu Qiu, who has such a high grade point." Tao Yan shrugged.
