Brown University does not have a set class.

The flexible day school system and humanized course selection method have always been the secret of its popularity with American students.

Brown University probably inherited Rhode Island's usual independent style, and in the mid-to-late sixties, abandoned their original syllabus in favor of a "Brown syllabus" that was very different from the traditional teaching policy.

In short, students only need to pass 30 courses in four years and prove their ability to express themselves in writing to graduate.

At Brown University, no one tells you what classes to take, and students are free to develop as long as they are interested.

This also brought a trouble, Han Xuan couldn't find where his class was, and he didn't even know what class he was taking, it was all arranged by the old man for him.

Originally, he planned to take psychology as an elective, but now that he has two majors, the boy thinks that it is better not to put too much pressure on himself, after all, he is still young, how can he waste the age of playing in class......

I got up at six o'clock to grab the toilet, took a shower happily, and looked at the mirror for a long time.

When he came out, Ramirez was glaring at him, and he didn't have time to speak, so he hurriedly ran in to solve the major events in his life, and the sound of exhalation Han Xuan could hear it from afar.

Changed into a long black trench coat, wore a round-neck sweater underneath, and carried a square brown cowhide backpack shiny, I didn't think that after many years, I could still feel the atmosphere of the original school year.

Principal Gregoris began to relax today, it was almost before the start of school, and when he went downstairs he was making breakfast, which was not really a hands-on meal, but just put oats and warm milk on the table and waited for the residents to enjoy.

As soon as Han Xuan sat down, Harris dozed off, and the toothpaste foam on his mouth was not wiped clean, thinking that it was really rare, this fat man usually wouldn't get up before ten o'clock.

Gregorian rarely paid attention to him, and praised him for being able to sleep as a blessing, and he couldn't sleep until he was old, unless Harris stayed up too late, and would go upstairs to remind him.

"By the way, principal, what about my class schedule?" Han Xuan said vaguely as he drank milk and soaked oats in his mouth, looking up at the clock in the living room, it was only seven twenty, so there was no need to worry.

"On the table in my study, you were asleep when you came back last night, and I didn't wake you up. The old headmaster turned around and cracked an egg and put it in the pan: "Do you want some more?" The school doorman's own hens, I bought them from. ”

"Of course, the price is lower than the market, at least not a bribe. ”

Han Xuan understood his bad joke, last year, a teacher in charge of admissions collected money from the student's parents and arranged for the student to enter Brown University.

The teacher was arrested the day before yesterday for tax evasion, which caused great damage to Brown's reputation, and it seems that Gregoris has always kept it in mind, and I am afraid that guy will have a few more crimes in the future.

"Thank you, Principal, I'm full. ”

"Well, go get it in my study yourself and bring theirs out as well. Gregoris stared into the pot and said.

Next to the stairs is the study, the door is not locked, and it opens with a light push, and the books of each category are piled higher than people, and the table is a little messy, and it seems that it has not been sorted out recently.

Finding a few timetables Han Xuan hurriedly came out, it was too rude to stay alone inside, turned around and walked back, looked down at his hand, gloated and said to Isabelle, who was going downstairs: "You didn't have classes this morning, and Harris is the same, it's only at two o'clock in the afternoon." ”

"Oh God, how can you do that to a girl. Isabelle came to the table and lay down depressed, and then quickly ate her breakfast: "While I am still sleepy, I must get back to bed quickly." ”

"That's right, we'll go up later. Harris returned to his languid appearance, eating an omelette in his mouth, his mind visibly empty.

Gregoris chuckled, as if he hadn't heard it.

"What about me?"

Ramirez asked, looking up.

"Full class, one more class than me. ”

"Almighty Lord, save your merciful believers!"

……

"Business Administration and Marketing" is taught in the Faculty of Finance.

Han Xuan asked a lot of seniors, and it took seven or eight minutes to walk to find this four-story old building that was covered by desolate trees, the walls were a little blackened, I heard that there had been a fire before, and there were three buildings in the Department of Finance, all of which were nearby, the farthest ones were more than 100 meters apart, but the architectural styles were very different.

The path is paved with cobblestones, and the grass next to it is just a little green, and you can't see them at all if you don't open it.

I went up to the third floor to confirm that it was correct, and walked in with my legs raised, but there was not even a ghost in the lecture hall.

I looked at my watch, I set off at half past seven, just seven forty-six two seconds ago, there were many people passing by the door, but none of them came in, so I could only wait for a place to sit down.

Time passed minute by minute, seeing that it was about to be eight o'clock class time, I just decided that I was in the wrong place, more than ten people came over, all of them entered the classroom in seconds, and the teacher appeared at the door when the class bell rang, according to common sense, it was already a minute late, but the bell was not over yet, so the teacher deserved to be a teacher, Han Xuan didn't know what to say, this stunt must have been practiced.

Walking up to the podium and picking up the oily pen, Long Feifeng Wu wrote his name, and did not forget to draw two bars underneath, and made an exclamation mark: "Pierce Kenton, students will introduce each other when they get out of class, this semester is very tight, and we can't waste our lives." ”

His eyes skimmed to Han Xuan's action and paused, and he shouted in his mouth: "I knew that geniuses would not be without vision, why have other departments have done it, but our finance department is the first time?"

"It's rare to have access to it at my age, so it's boring. ”

"Haha, yes, then tell a few stories to make finance not boring, I'm taking care of you...... By the way, what's your name?"

"Han, my name is Han, sir. ”

"Just call me Pierce, I think about it, ha, there is!"

The teacher was a little crazy when he was too enthusiastic, and the boy didn't know if the other teachers were like this, but he was the first one to touch anyway.

Picking up a pen and preparing to take notes, he sat in the front row, and even Mr. Pierce splattered it in his face: "This is about the island of Manhattan, which the Indians sold to the notorious governor of the Dutch province of New Netherlands, Minuit." ”

"The shrewdness of the Indians in the deal will forever be etched in history, and I learned that the Indians netted about $24 out of the deal, and that Peter, who paid the money, earned all 22.3 square miles of land on Manhattan Island. ”

"Based on this price-for-land basis, it's not hard to make a fairly accurate estimate, which is now estimated at $20 per square foot of land, so it's reasonable to extrapolate that the total value of land on the entire island of Manhattan is now $12433766400, or about $12.5 billion. ”

"For those who are new to investing, this statistic sounds like the deal made by Governor Minuit is making a lot of money. However, the Indians only need to be able to achieve a return on investment of 6.5% per annum to have the last laugh. ”

"At a compound annual rate of 6.5%, the $24 they get from selling the island will increase to about $42 billion over 338 years. ”

"And as long as they try to make half a percentage point more a year and get the annual yield to 7%, they can add $205 billion now in 338 years." ”

"This tells us how important compound interest is, so thank your ancestors and regret it, for that half a percent, Han. ”

"Poof, teacher, I'm Chinese!"

"Then why is your skin ...... So?"

"Tanned!"
