I Have a Research Support System
Chapter 168 Set a Small Goal
When Xu Qiu returned to the dormitory, he found that Ren Bin was not there, and Tao Yan was sitting at the desk, operating the computer.
Usually at this time, Ren Bin is playing computer, Tao Yan is outside, but today it is reversed.
"Why did you come back so early?" Tao Yan raised his head and glanced at Xu Qiu, jokingly said:
"Looking at how you are in Caiyi, I thought you were going to stay out all night."
"You think too much, we just went to have dinner," Xu Qiu explained:
"Haiqiang noodle shop, have you ever been there?"
"I've been there a few times, and the taste is pretty good." After speaking, Tao Yan was still looking Xu Qiu up and down.
"Why isn't Ren Bin staying in the dormitory today? Where has he gone?" Xu Qiu changed the subject.
"He, he was dragged to score 80 points by his friends." Tao Yan said:
"They are short of three. I originally wanted to go, but my senior brother just called me and added a task temporarily, so I didn't go."
"That's it." Xu Qiu looked at Tao Yan's computer screen, the WORD document with "National Natural Science Foundation of China" in the header, and said:
"Are you still working on fund projects?"
"That's right, I wrote it in the afternoon and sent it to my brother. He found a few more problems and asked me to make corrections." Tao Yan complained:
"The deadline for submission should be at the end of the month, and I don't know why he is in such a hurry."
"Shouldn't the teachers in the group or the senior brothers and sisters be responsible for this kind of fund project? How could it be entrusted to you?" Xu Qiu asked.
"He gave me a bunch of materials in Chinese and English, which are the work of the group for a year, and then asked me to translate and organize them, so there is not much technical content." Tao Yan comforted himself:
"Aren't newcomers just joining the research group just doing odd jobs? After a while, I'll get to know each other well in a year. It should be much better if newcomers join. The situation in your group should be similar."
Xu Qiu thought to himself, I don't seem to be a newcomer now, and there are school girls helping me with experiments, but he said:
"Well, so am I."
Hearing these words, Tao Yan's frown relaxed a lot.
Sure enough, he is not a special case. Everyone is a newcomer, and they all have to start as odd jobs.
...
Saturday.
Xu Qiuxian was bored, so he looked through the admission guide for graduate students, which was uniformly issued by the department after he passed the postgraduate summer camp and planned to be admitted.
According to the above, under the current scholarship policy, in the first year of direct doctoral students, they have to compete directly with the doctoral students and compete for national scholarships.
In the arena, besides direct Ph.D. students, there are also old fritters from Boer II and Bo III, as well as old fritters who have just transferred to Bo Yi from the combination of master, master, and Ph.D.
From the perspective of competitiveness, Bosan’s old fritters are the main force in the competition for the National Award.
The main weight of the awards is the number and quality of articles, that is, the number of published/collected articles in the past year.
The specific scoring rules are different every year. In short, the first work in the first district has the highest score, and the second and third works also have points, but the scores are slightly lower.
The statistical cycle is from October of the previous year to October of the current year. Articles are valid for one year and will become invalid after the expiration date.
Students who reach a certain article threshold will be invited to participate in the national award defense, which is generally 1-3 times the number of national awards.
Then, according to the situation of the national award defense, the department will select the best to issue the national award after discussion.
Xu Qiu didn't know if there was any shady inside.
He only heard from his senior sister that many third-year Ph.D. students would deliberately suppress their articles and not publish them.
Wait until all are published in the last year, and then collect a large number of articles to hit the national award.
This kind of operation is a normal operation, and the school will not take care of it. After all, it is the researcher's personal wish when to publish the article.
However, the school will consider students who have combined master's and doctoral programs.
They have just transferred from the third year of the master's degree to the first year of the doctoral degree. They usually have articles in their hands.
Therefore, the school allows them to keep the articles of that year, and not to participate in this round of scholarships. The validity period of the articles is extended to two years, which means that they can still be used in the second year of Ph.D.
Wu Feifei is this year's combined master and doctoral student. She only has one EES and one CM. If it is awarded in the master group, it is no problem to win a national award for this achievement.
However, her opponent is a doctoral student of the same period.
She finally decided to save up the articles, and wait until the next year to publish one or two articles in the first district, which can almost win a national award.
In the end, she won the first prize in the school, and there was also 8,000 yuan, which was offset by the tuition fee.
As for direct Ph.D. students, the school has never considered the special case that undergraduates can publish articles during their undergraduate studies, nor has they considered that they can wrestle with doctoral students.
Therefore, there is no other provision for the validity period of the article, which is the default one year, and the expiration date is invalid.
Moreover, there are no academic scholarships or naming scholarships for direct doctoral students in the first year, only freshman scholarships and national awards.
The evaluation of the scholarship for freshmen divides students into four categories. Category I is for postgraduate students from the school’s own department, Category II is for students from external departments to the Department of Materials Science and Technology, category III is for graduate students from other schools, and category IV is for postgraduate entrance examination students. .
From Category I to Category IV, they are arranged in descending order, and those with the highest grade points/scores in the same category are ranked first, and then the first, second, and third prizes are evaluated, only the scores are considered, and the articles are not considered.
In other words, if Xu Qiu won the national award if he could not enroll, the articles he published during his senior year could no longer be used for the selection, which would be wasted.
In this case, he can only get the freshman scholarship. He belongs to category I and has a high grade point, so he must be the first prize.
But the first prize is only 8,000 yuan, which is still a bit of a gap compared with the 10,000 to 20,000 yuan for the title award and the 30,000 yuan for the national award.
Xu Qiu secretly set a small goal for himself:
Entrance to get a national award!
...
Sunday afternoon.
Chen Wanqing brought her article to Teacher Wei for revision.
Xu Qiu didn't intend to watch, but in the end, Teacher Wei called him over.
It seems that Mr. Wei also feels a headache when changing the article of his senior sister, and needs a helper.
Fortunately, the era of revising dozens of versions of an article by a senior sister is over.
At that time, there were too many editions. The main reason was that Mr. Wei had very strict requirements on the format, and the senior sister was not very familiar with the format of the article at the beginning, and there were often mistakes and omissions.
Changing a few abbreviations, changing a few bold italics, and changing the size of a few pictures will generate a new version.
Now, the probability of senior sisters making low-level mistakes has been greatly reduced.
In addition, Xu Qiu had already helped to revise it twice in advance. In the end, the three of them worked hard all afternoon, only changed 14 versions, and they finished the work and submitted it smoothly.
Xu Qiu also had to lament Mr. Wei's piercing eyes.
He can tell at a glance how many times the line spacing of a paragraph is, and whether there are extra paragraphs before and after paragraphs.
Maybe it's because he has been writing for many years, has been following a fixed format and strictly demanding himself, and he has practiced it.
Once again, I would like to mention a second work, which is one step closer to the National Award.
