I Am the President of the University

"Guanghua University will start a comprehensive general education for 2021 freshmen in September this year, the next academic year!"

When 　　 said this, everyone was shocked!

　　 whispered to each other.

　　 "This is general education, is there any school in China that implements general education!"

　　 "Yes, Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Fudan University are only implementing general education for one or two colleges. The whole school has not heard of any school in China that has such a program."

　　 "To implement the whole school, how much faculty must be invested... at least the teacher-student ratio should be 1:10?"

"Not to mention that the whole school will not implement it. I personally think that copying the general education in the United States will not work. Isn't Peking University Yuanpei College copying the experiment and failing? It is different from the four. I want to say that it is better to stick to the exam-oriented education, at least No mistakes will be made."

　　 "I disagree, the shackles of exam-oriented education have already emerged, and there will never be a way out for Chinese higher education without changing the system!"

　　 "You are too radical, young man, you can't hold this degree."

　　The ability of these professors to sit here is absolutely up to the standard, but the thinking is not necessarily.

　　 Chen Hao didn't stop it immediately, but Zheng Qiang on the side wanted to speak. Fortunately, he was stopped by Chen Hao. Zheng Qiang glanced at Chen Hao's eyes and understood clearly in his heart.

　　 However, there were also a few people who remained silent throughout the whole process, such as the mit math trio and Professor Yu Dong.

　　 The other three from Stanford, Yale, and Caltech just scratched their heads and sat down because they had no acquaintances.

　　 Chen Hao lowered his head and glanced at his watch. After discussing it for almost ten minutes, it was almost hot.

　　 "Quiet everyone, listen to me a few words."

　　As soon as the leader spoke, the crowd became honest.

　　 After all, this is not a public college. If there is a system, you can't expel you if you offend the principal. You can only wear small shoes.

　　Private universities say that expulsion can really be expelled.

"A few professors just said that there is still some truth. General education is the education system of Europe and America. If it is copied and transplanted in China, it will definitely encounter the problem of inadequacy. For example, the Yuanpei College of Peking University is a product of failure... …"

　　 Chen Hao took Peking University Yuanpei as a failure case in person, and then combined him with the local situation in China, preparing to take a "characteristic general education" in line with China's national conditions.

　　 After these words were over, the few people who opposed it before fell into contemplation.

　　 Judging by their IQ, this is indeed a route that can be tried.

　　 And it failed... It has a wool relationship with them. Anyway, Guanghua is on it. If it's a big deal, change the route and try again.

　　Private universities, with only money and sufficient resources, are much more convenient than public universities.

　　 A public university issued a decree that requires three or five meetings before it is finally implemented.

　　 The administration is bloated and inefficient.

At this time, a middle-aged professor wearing square glasses asked: "President Chen, your idea is quite novel, I think you can try it, but general education requires a lot of teachers, especially It’s the teacher-student ratio..."

　　The middle-aged professor hesitated, and after looking at Chen Hao's face, he continued: "Guanghua's current teachers should and should not be enough."

　　 Chen Hao glanced at the other party, and asked calmly, "Professor Huang, how do you think the teacher-student ratio should be?"

　　 "The larger the teacher-student ratio, the better. If you want to fully implement general education, it must be at least 1:10. Of course, the larger the number, the greater the number." The middle-aged professor replied.

　　 The teacher-student ratio of 1:10 is considered a healthy line, but it is very common for many domestic colleges and universities to have 1:20, that is, there are 20,000 students and only about 1,000 teachers.

　　 Chen Hao just chuckled and waved his hand, "It's not a big problem. It mainly starts with the next-level freshmen. When there is sufficient time, we will be provided with complete teachers."

　　 "Principal, the gap in our Guanghua teachers is still... still quite large." The middle-aged professor reminded him euphemistically.

　　 There are actually only a few hundred full-time faculty members at Guanghua University, and 65.7% of them have a sub-high level or higher.

　　 Because many of them are part-timers from other schools, and many of this data are recruited by Chen Hao after taking office, compared with the 2777 full-time teachers of Ludao University next door, this gap is five or six times.

　　 is too shabby...

　　 "Don't worry about this, there will be several batches of full-time teachers reporting in this six months." Chen Hao said calmly.

　　The middle-aged professor made a twitch of his mouth. Several batches of teachers, the description is the same as there are several batches of goods coming.

　　 But once I think about it, it will soon be the Ph.D. graduation season. With the high salary of Guanghua, it can still attract a lot of people.

This is also Chen Hao’s plan. Before the school starts in September, the number of full-time teachers must be increased to 1,000, and then the number of enrollment will be reduced. It should be enough during the year.

　　 After two or three years, the problem of Guanghua's teaching staff should be almost resolved.

　　 "Do you have any other questions?" Chen Hao asked.

　　 Two people boldly asked a question.

After 　　 answered, Chen Hao was about to say that the meeting was over, when a voice suddenly appeared.

　　 "Principal Chen, I have a question."

Chen Hao looked over, and it was Professor Yu Dong who was talking.

　　 "Professor Yu, you said."

　　 Professor Yu Dong straightened his back, his voice was a little cold.

　　 "It's like this. Before I came to Guanghua, I also knew some of the school's systems. I know that Guanghua has a large bonus in sci. Is this some sci only?"

　　 "Will there be some professors who specialize in water papers for these bonuses? Water is meaningless just for papers that can be published?"

　　 "And will the assessment of sci occupy a large part?"

　　 After this series of questions, some professors started to commotion before Chen Hao finished talking.

　　 Yudong’s words are too offensive.

　　Who didn't know that Guanghua University has a generous bonus for publishing sci. A CNS award 2 million yuan, a cns sub-journal, if it is above 20.0, a bonus 200 thousand yuan.

　　 This is breaking the way for people and money!

　　 Chen Hao smiled, and looked at Professor Yu Dong especially, which was very sharp.

　　 "Professor Yu's question is quite good, then I will respond here too."

　　 "Guanghua not only does not have only sci, but it is also destroying [only sci]. But I want to say that the abolition here refers to the number of sci piles.

　　Like the Olympic medal list, it is not to see who has more medals, but to see who has more gold medals. "

　　 Chen Hao said in an accentuated tone: "Compared with quantity, we should do more quality research."

"Guanghua's high treatment for sci publication is to improve the quality of sci, not to make people pursue the quantity. Besides publishing some worthless articles? Sorry, once the inspection finds it, I will dismiss it without mercy!" Chen Hao Said lightly.

　　 He hopes that the wealth of scientists should not only be on the spiritual level, but also on the material level.

　　 But if someone wants to take advantage of Guanghua wool, then he will not be merciful.

　　 Learning any subject requires examining the history of knowledge development.

　　 5. For example, Peking University formulated and implemented the "Yuan Pei Plan" in September 2001. Since 2002, the new teaching plan has been revised, and a free course selection system has been implemented within the scope of undergraduates in the whole school. In the curriculum setting, in addition to professional compulsory courses, school-wide compulsory courses, and public elective courses, general elective courses are set up. General elective courses include several courses in 5 fields including mathematics and natural sciences, social sciences, philosophy and psychology, history, linguistics and art. The undergraduate level basically forms the "general education + wide-calibre professional education" curriculum model.

Since the new semester of 2005, Fudan University has integrated the 68 majors of the school into 7 categories, including adult humanities, law and politics, economics and management, natural sciences, technical sciences, mathematics, and hospitals. Freshmen first enter Fudan College in the freshman year, and then enter the professional college one year later. Department of learning. The college restructured the curriculum content system according to the training objectives, and established a curriculum framework of comprehensive education, basic education in liberal arts and professional education.

　　 Xinya College established by Tsinghua University in 2014, its school-running philosophy and teaching plan, etc., have largely borrowed from the American liberal education or general education model.

America:

1. In the American classic liberal arts colleges, all core courses are designed into three systems including humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. The lower grades students can choose freely among these courses, and the upper grades are their own majors. Professional courses. Because the number of students and teachers is close, the courses are mostly for small class discussions, and teachers and students can even design their own courses and design credits.

　　2, American university courses can be divided into three categories:

　　 majorrequirement

　　 Elective Course ()

　　 General Education Course ()

　　 general courses came into being. For example, you have chosen an engineering major, but you are also required to study literature, English, social sciences and other subjects at the same time~www.NovelMTL.com~ This type of course selection method is usually corecurriculum in American universities. The form of presentation-in addition to completing the credits of this major, you must also complete courses in other professional fields through elective methods.

　　 What courses are provided in the general education system?

　　Different schools have different classifications, but the general education system of American universities can basically be divided into 9 categories:

　　1. Writing: Mainly teaches the basic outline of academic writing, including how to make arguments, cite arguments, find evidence, and draw conclusions.

　　2. Professional writing: Teach more advanced writing skills, often combined with professional courses, to improve students' reading and analysis skills in the professional field, fundamentally avoiding empty knowledge, but without the ability to integrate and analyze writing.

　　3. Western cultural studies: Involving European and American culture and history, for Americans and international students, no matter what industry they are engaged in, they must know the origin of this land under their feet.

　　 4. Minority cultures: refers to the study of non-Western cultures, including Asia, Africa, Oceania, and so on.

　　5. Humanities and art: This kind of courses are usually closer to the arts, covering a wide range of areas, such as music history, work appreciation, literary work research, and so on.

　　6. ​​Language: Most schools will offer courses in various languages, such as French, German, Spanish, Japanese and so on.
