Gu Kun felt that the professional class was a little difficult to keep up with, and it started about the third week after the class.

The main reason is that in the first two weeks of the professional course, the main teaching is a general outline, and there are relatively few parts that need to be quantitatively calculated.

Although Gu Kun didn't go to college in his previous life, he had more than ten years of maritime experience and had dealt with ships all his life, so he learned things quickly that he didn't want to understand. If it's a little obscure, you can basically solve it when you go home to read a book and ask a teacher to answer questions.

In general, in the several professional courses in his sophomore year, the entry-level courses such as "Electrical Technology", "Fundamentals of Electrician Experiments", and "Mechanical Drawing" were very easy for him.

In the other two courses, "Mechanics of Materials" and "Structural Mechanics", he has no problem understanding each of them. But as he entered the stage of quantitative calculation, his shortcomings were exposed, because he did not have too many numbers and big things on the system.

"It's better to pay the teacher privately and make up the lessons alone. In my previous life, I watched the movie "Huaxia Partner", and asked a teacher to be a tutor in 94, which should not be considered a violation of school discipline. ”

After making up his mind, during the last day of class before the National Day, Gu Kun took the opportunity of everyone to pack up their things after class, followed the lecturer who taught two mechanics courses, and shouted to each other in the corridor:

"Teacher Zhu, I'm a little troublesome and want to ask you. ”

The lecturer's name is Zhu Mingbo, a middle-aged man about 30 years old, who has just graduated from the university with a doctorate and stayed in school for less than two years.

Lecturer Zhu stared at Gu Kun for a while: "Oh, you're the new international student who came to the class, right, what's wrong?" ”

It's normal for teachers in universities to not recognize students who have just been in class for a few weeks.

"I don't understand the stress calculation you talked about today, maybe my foundation in high mathematics is too poor, and I can't do simple integrals. Can you take advantage of your break to make up for me alone......"

As soon as Gu Kun said this, Zhu Mingbo's face changed.

This is too difficult for strong people, the work of a university lecturer is already so heavy, and I usually have to do some papers by myself to fight for the title.

"That's a light thing to say, if everyone asks for it, heh......" Zhu Mingbo complained frantically in his heart.

Fortunately, he was still more polite, and he was thinking about how to refuse tactfully in his mind, so he gave Gu Kun the opportunity to open conditions:

"Teacher Zhu, I know...... It's too cheesy to talk about money, but the situation is like this, I myself am the owner of a maritime company, and I came here to study because I want to learn a little bit about the real skills of distinguishing the advantages and disadvantages of ship design and the cost of moisture.

So if you teach me, it's a great financial benefit for me. So as long as you are willing to make up the lessons, I think you will be given at least 50 yuan a hard fee for a section, and you will be considered to be consulting my maritime company, what do you think?"

Zhu Mingbo almost squirted out a mouthful of tea.

In 94 years, the salary level in the system is not high, and in places like Donghai Province, lecturers are still receiving a salary of four or five hundred. Hujiang is the city with the best treatment in China, and Jiaotong University is a high-end school, Zhu Mingbo is a new lecturer, and his salary is seven or eight hundred yuan a month, and the bonus is not counted.

If you are rated as an associate professor or professor, it may reach 1,000.

Fifty yuan for a class is definitely a conscience price. If he takes time to make up for a lesson every afternoon after work, the tuition fee can be twice as high as his salary in a month.

"It turns out that you are in Lanfang Guokai Maritime Company, it is rare that you admire the level of education in China, and you have come all the way to us to learn real skills, which is really commendable.

We, the Chinese people, have always been friendly to foreign countries, especially friendly neighbors of the same language and species, and we should be even more enthusiastic in helping. Money doesn't matter. ”

Do gentlemen speak without profit, and how vulgar are high-level intellectuals when they talk about money?

Of course, Gu Kun knew what to do. Money is such a thing, just take it and don't talk about it.

However, Gu Kun's money is not so easy to earn, and he has other requirements.

Gu Kun shrewdly proposed: "Teacher Zhu, I plan to do so, I don't know if you can teach advanced mathematics at the same time? That is, material mechanics and structural mechanics, when talking about the parts that need to be calculated and used with advanced mathematics knowledge, start directly with the most basic mathematical knowledge, and talk about it from beginning to end, consistently."

If you're not good at it, it doesn't matter, I'll go find a high math teacher with you, and you will teach me two-to-one when the time comes, and when you need to use math knowledge, you can rest, and I'll ask the math teacher first. ”

Zhu Mingbo hurriedly said: "It's a waste of manpower to teach two people, I'll teach you." High math, although I haven't taught it, but one-on-one is absolutely no problem, if you don't understand, just ask at any time. ”

Generally speaking, most people who learn well on their own may not be able to teach well, because they do not understand the comprehension and progress of their students.

"Whether they can quickly and efficiently know the mastery of their students" is the main indicator of the traditional teaching model to judge good teachers and poor teachers. As for the knowledge points, the teacher himself must understand them all.

However, if it is one-on-one teaching, if you don't understand it and ask questions immediately, the ability requirements for the teacher to grasp the level of students are greatly reduced, and basically as long as the teacher himself understands it very well and has the teaching foundation of other classes, it can be taught.

The reason why it is easy to listen to big classes and can't keep up when it's out of touch is because the teacher doesn't know after the students are distracted and fall behind. Or even if the teacher knows, he can't stop the progress for you alone.

Therefore, as long as Zhu Mingbo agreed, Gu Kun dared to believe the other party.

"Then you won't bother the two masters, and when you are halfway through the lecture, you will encounter a place where you need to call the basic knowledge of high numbers and big things, please explain it from the beginning. We'll pay a hundred dollars for two classes each. ”

"Alas, don't talk about the money anymore!"

"If you want it, I will pay thirty make-up fees first, and it will be regarded as a thank you. Gu Kun didn't say a word, a small red envelope of 3,000 yuan was stuffed directly into Zhu Mingbo's pocket.

Zhu Mingbo clutched his pocket and lost his mind for a few seconds: "Then you ...... Do you have time during the National Day? I think your foundation is weak, so you should seize the holiday to concentrate on assault. ”

Gu Kun readily agreed.

After a few long vacations, he lived a completely ascetic life, focusing on making up classes every day.

He never intended to learn advanced mathematics and big things completely and systematically, he only needed to learn the parts that he needed to use in the professional courses of his major.

Compared with the confused state of most people who "don't know how to use what they have learned", Gu Kun can be said to be rushing to solve specific problems in every class, and the efficiency gap is naturally very huge.

The biggest inertia in learning lies in not knowing what to do when "learning ahead". Most people with work experience will feel the same way, when you are forced to learn by a task, as long as the teacher is knowledgeable enough, the efficiency is not much higher than in school.

Zhu Mingbo would take a small notebook for his own sign-in and bookkeeping every day in class, and he couldn't wait to cross out 10 class hours a day and earn it 500 yuan in extra money.

Under this kind of high pressure, Gu Kun has made rapid progress, and the only fly in the ointment is that this learning mode is really tiring, because you don't have the opportunity to be distracted and desert at all.

Sitting in a big classroom, even if you are forced to sleep for two hours, the teacher may not know, or if he does, he will not care about you.

But in the one-on-one make-up class, Gu Kun only needs to be distracted by the explanation time of half the questions, and Zhu Mingbo can immediately find that he is confused.

"It's really not a human life...... However, in order to understand the structural stress calculation table and the design budget, we endured it...... "More than once, when he was exhausted, Gu Kun complained frantically in his heart.
