Chapter 277: Being an Excellent University Teacher
Zhao Weijia's wife is very beautiful and has a very good temperament.
Xu You was a little suspicious as to why she fell in love with Zhao Weijiajia.
To be honest, Zhao Weijia is a nice person and a real good man.
During the dinner, everyone was in a very good mood and the box was filled with a happy atmosphere.
In addition to attending Zhao Weijia's thank-you banquet, Xu You also has another task today.
I just want to ask Wang Xiangwu for some teaching techniques.
As Xu You's guide in scientific research, Xu You admired Wang Xiangwu's teaching level very much.
It just so happened that Xu You was sitting next to Wang Xiangwu, so he could easily discuss these things with Wang Xiangwu.
"Teacher Wang, I'm about to start teaching. Can you teach me some teaching skills?"
Wang Xiangwu laughed when he heard this:
"Xu You, you are much more knowledgeable than me. I can't really say I'm teaching you, but I'll just share some of my experience with you."
Wang Xiangwu knew that although Xu You had won the Nobel Prize in Physics, he still had zero experience in teaching.
Wang Xiangwu also hopes that Xu You can cultivate more outstanding talents on the teaching path, rather than just remaining an excellent scientific researcher.
"In fact, the pressure on us teachers in university teaching is relatively small, even more relaxed than those in primary and secondary schools. Our salary for each class is also very low, probably even less than what tutors earn. This makes many university teachers neglect teaching work."
Xu You recalled his experience of taking classes in college and agreed with Wang Xiangwu's point of view.
In fact, most of the teachers at Jida are quite serious in class. There are also some teachers who read from the textbook. From the teaching attitude alone, they are indeed not as good as high school teachers.
Because college is not like high school, there is no competition in academic performance between classes.
How much a student scores on an exam has very little impact on the teacher.
The quality of the class depends more on the teacher's professionalism.
As a young man with ideals and ambitions, Xu You will definitely put more effort into teaching.
"To be a good university teacher, you need to teach students how to learn, not just teach them knowledge. Students who can be admitted to Jida are all outstanding among their peers. The knowledge we impart to them in class is very limited, and more depends on their efforts after class."
Through communication with Wang Xiangwu, Xu You better understood some of Wang Xiangwu's teaching ideas and methods.
This gave Xu You great confidence in his future teaching career.
"Thank you, Teacher Wang. I will work hard to become an excellent teacher like you."
"Haha, don't make me your target. I don't have such strong abilities as you."
"Teacher Wang, if it weren't for you, I might still be in school now."
Xu You knew that Wang Xiangwu might not have taught him much knowledge.
But at the critical moment, he gave Xu You guidance.
He brought Xu You onto the path of scientific research and helped Xu You clear many obstacles.
These are what an excellent teacher should do most.
After the thank-you banquet, Xu You re-summarized his teaching ideas based on the teaching experience shared by Wang Xiangwu.
Finally, today, Xu You will have his teaching debut.
Before class, Xu You was still a little nervous.
Even though Xu You has experienced many big scenes, these big scenes are still different from giving lectures to students.
As a teacher, Xu You cannot just focus on his own expression, but also needs to pay attention to the students' status at all times.
Otherwise, it would be the same as making a report.
"302, this is it."
Arriving at the classroom door, Xu You cleared his throat and took a deep breath.
After entering the classroom, Xu You found that the seats were already full of students.
There were even some students who didn't have seats and just stood on both sides of the classroom.
It can be seen that there are students who are not in this class but come here to audit.
When they saw Xu You coming in, everyone gave him a warm round of applause.
"Hello, students. I am Xu You. In the next semester, we will study the course of college physics together."
Even though everyone was sure that they knew Xu You, Xu You still gave a brief self-introduction.
Because it was the first class and the teacher was Xu You, the Nobel Prize winner in Physics, everyone was very energetic and was looking at Xu You intently.
However, Xu You also knew that this situation might not last forever.
"Before the class starts, let's talk about something off topic. I wonder if you all have this feeling after graduating from high school: I finally got into college and can finally relax. Class starts at 8 a.m., but you may still be in bed at 7:50 a.m. Do some of you not have time to wash your face in the morning?"
Hearing Xu You's words, many students smiled embarrassedly.
Because Xu Youzheng spoke to their hearts.
Even if they are students of Ji University, not all of them can concentrate on studying in college.
It is very normal to relax the requirements on yourself when no one is supervising you every day.
"It is common for Chinese students to study very hard in high school and start . But what I want to say is that after entering university, it is the stage where you really start to study. This stage is much more critical than high school and determines everyone's future."
Xu You's words made the students in the classroom focus more.
"In fact, high school is more of a selection process. The college entrance examination selects the students with the best learning ability to enter the top universities. This kind of selection cannot be said to be absolutely fair, but it is relatively fair. After college, we will start to learn more professional knowledge. This knowledge determines our future employment, including scientific research."
"For example, there is a lot of knowledge in textbooks that I don't need to explain at all. Everyone can learn it by themselves. Why do we still have to take classes in the classroom? I think university teachers should not only impart knowledge, but also guide everyone. I encourage undergraduates to get involved in scientific research early. If you have any ideas, you can communicate with me after class."
Xu You spent ten minutes talking about things that had nothing to do with the lecture content.
But Xu You felt that the time spent was worth it.
If these students can change their learning attitude because of my words, it will definitely be much more meaningful than imparting ten minutes of knowledge.
While the students were full of enthusiasm, Xu You officially started the class.
