Chapter 203 You Created a New Record
Xu You naturally had no intention of complaining about this in public, he just answered the question truthfully.
As for the fact that his father Xu Zhou helped prepare the materials, Xu You thought it would be better to keep it secret.
"Oh, there is another difficulty. The review process of Nature is really slow. It took several and the paper was revised several times..."
As he was talking, Xu You also realized that it was not a good idea to say these things here.
But apart from these, Xu You really didn't encounter any major difficulties.
Xu You really enjoyed the entire research process of the project.
At this moment, the students below felt humiliated again after hearing Xu You's words.
Everyone knows that this is a paper published in Nature, so please don't mention it to stimulate us.
Next, several teachers followed the procedure and asked Xu You some more professional questions about the content of this paper.
Not only did Xu You answer questions fluently, but there were also some things that even the teachers did not quite understand.
In this way, Xu You's graduation defense ended successfully .
After Xu You came out of the classroom, the second student participating in the defense came to the stage.
After watching Xu You's performance just now, this student became particularly nervous.
The teachers seemed to see his nervousness and said with a smile:
"Please rest assured that the performance of the last student will not affect our normal evaluation standards. Everyone can just defend normally, and there is no need to feel too burdened."
The teachers also don’t want Xu You’s appearance to affect other students’ defense.
After hearing this, the students relaxed a little.
After all the graduates finished their defense.
The results of the defense came out soon.
Xu You successfully passed the defense, and his paper was unsurprisingly rated as an excellent paper.
At this moment, Xu You has completed all tasks in his undergraduate studies and can obtain a bachelor's degree.
Upon hearing the news, Jiang Hong, the dean of Heqing College, found Xu You.
"Xu You, you will graduate from college soon. Congratulations. You have obtained your bachelor's degree in two years. This is a record for Jida University."
Before this, no student had been able to complete all undergraduate studies in two years.
"I have to thank the dean for his meticulous care. If the dean hadn't been here, I might still be in the classroom now."
Xu You's gratitude was indeed sincere.
No matter how strong Xu You's abilities are, he cannot break through the constraints of the rules relying solely on his own abilities.
In this, Jiang Hong’s contribution is indeed indispensable.
"Thank you for nothing. I just helped you with a small favor. Xu You, after you graduate from college, you will no longer be a student of Heqing College."
There are only undergraduate students in Heqing College, because when you reach the graduate stage, you will definitely have a clear research direction and will no longer receive basic education like this.
Thinking of this, Xu You also felt a little sad.
Although Xu You is very busy with scientific research, he rarely participates in activities in the college.
But Xu You really likes this place very much.
Having only been here for two years, Xu You still feels a little reluctant to leave.
"Dean, when I start graduate school, I definitely can't live here anymore, right?"
"Normally, after you finish graduate school, you will be assigned to a new college and your dormitory will be reallocated."
"But actually, after I started my graduate studies, other than my status, nothing else changed. I continued to do scientific research. And I rented a house near the school, so it doesn't make sense to change a dormitory. Dean, can you help me continue to live in Heqing College?"
Jiang Hong thought about it and felt that this was indeed the truth.
"That's true. I'll help you apply for this. Your situation is indeed very special. There has never been anyone like you who graduated from college in two years and was exposed to scientific research projects at such an early age."
Moreover, graduating in two years was not a particularly big achievement for Xu You.
If it weren't for the fact that it was impossible to complete so many subjects in one semester, Xu You might have been able to complete all the credits within a month.
During this period, Xu You's various scientific research achievements are the most worthy of praise.
Afterwards, Jiang Hong contacted the school leaders and explained Xu You’s current thoughts.
The school leaders also expressed their understanding of Xu You’s idea. After all, it made no difference to Xu You where he lived.
Compared with this matter, what is more important is Xu You’s future postgraduate study direction and method.
After receiving a reply from the school leaders, Jiang Hong found Xu You again.
"The school said that there is no problem with you continuing to live in the original dormitory. In this way, you will become the first graduate student of Heqing College."
Seeing that his request was accepted, Xu You felt relieved.
There's really no point in going through the hassle of changing dormitories again.
"Xu You, since you definitely want to pursue graduate studies, the school has two options for you. One is to go straight to a doctoral program, which allows you to get a doctorate degree faster, but there is no master's degree in between. In other words, if you don't get a doctorate degree in the end, you will only have a bachelor's degree. The other is to study for a master's and doctorate degree simultaneously, which takes a little longer, but even if you don't get a doctorate degree, you can switch to a master's degree."
Listening to Jiang Hong's story, Xu You also understood the key.
Although the time required for a master's and doctoral degree program is longer, it is safer and you have a master's degree as a backup.
However, for Xu You now, he certainly won’t have so many concerns.
"Dean, I choose to go straight to a PhD."
The assessment contents of these schools are indeed not very challenging for Xu You.
Xu You just wants to complete his studies as soon as possible and focus all his energy on scientific research.
Xu You's choice was also within Jiang Hong's expectations.
"Yes, for you, going straight to a PhD is definitely a better choice. You only need to complete the study and assessment of those master's and doctoral courses. You have already met the indicators for the thesis. In the end, just like in undergraduate studies, you can directly defend your thesis. "
Speaking of which, Xu You’s academic achievements in the past two years are a bit excessive.
If those restrictions could be removed, maybe we could even participate in the selection of professors.
When it came to the undergraduate graduation ceremony, Xu You, as the only graduate of that year, put on his bachelor's gown and attended the ceremony.
It is a bit regrettable that Xu You doesn’t have any classmates around him, and seems a little lonely at this important moment in his life.
Indeed, graduating from college seemed too easy for Xu You.
