Chapter 412: Popular Psychology
"Hey, tell you, the new lecturer, you know, he turned out to be a literature student at the University of California."
The Office of a Lecturer in Psychology at the University of California, a lecturer gossiped about it.
"What's this, Amway is still studying mathematics, isn't he also a lecturer in psychology?"
"NO, NO, that's not what I said. I mean, that guy doesn't seem to have graduated yet, he seems to be a sophomore before. ”
"Sophomore? No, no wonder I always thought this guy was too young, but I didn't expect to graduate. What's going on in school, how do you get a guy who hasn't graduated to teach psychology? ”
"Oh, don't gossip, this new lecturer is said to be very powerful. The last time he was at the school's psychology exchange guild, many professors have been impressed by him. Moreover, it is reported that Huang Yifan published a very powerful academic paper, perhaps because of this, the school made an exception for him and made him a lecturer in psychology. Oh no, it's not actually a lecturer, it's just a teaching assistant. ”
"I came less, saying that I was a teaching assistant, but I still enjoyed the treatment of a lecturer. And, do you know how much his salary is, $50,000 a month, more than us, where is this teaching assistant. I was thinking, this guy must be going through the back door. Otherwise, no matter how good he is, it is impossible for him to be a lecturer before graduating from his sophomore year. As for what kind of paper, heh, the ghost only believes it, and I have never believed in what the school does. ”
"It's a school business, Lev, let's teach in peace."
"Anyway, I'm not convinced, by the way, there will be his class later, why don't we embarrass him?"
"Lev, don't mess around."
"Don't worry, I know the square inch."
……
"Huang Yifan, I heard that you are still in your sophomore year?"
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Huang Yifan came to the lecturer's office with the materials, and there would be a class for him.
As soon as I entered the office, suddenly a sharp voice sounded.
"Yes, what's the problem?"
Frowning, Huang Yifan replied.
A few days ago, Professor Kelly reminded Huang Yifan that saying that your age might cause misunderstanding among other lecturers, and made an exception for Huang Yifan, and he did not need to go to the lecturer's office to work. However, thinking that he would become a lecturer after returning to China in the future, it would not be good if he had been specializing, so Huang Yifan would return to the office after class in the past few days.
"Hehe, I became a teaching assistant in my sophomore year, which is amazing."
Lev smiled, looking sarcastic in his laughter.
"What do you mean, Lev?"
"Nothing interesting, just asking."
Lev stood up and continued, "I heard that there are less than a dozen students in your class, do you think it's interesting for you to do this?" ”
"Say whatever you want, don't stumble."
Huang Yifan's becoming a lecturer was just an accident, and the course was also a temporary arrangement, and it was not a compulsory course, but an elective course. Therefore, there are fewer students who take Huang Yifan's class. However, Huang Yifan didn't feel anything about this. At the beginning, I had just become a lecturer, and it was good to have more than a dozen students come to the lecture. Moreover, Huang Yifan knew that these students who listened to the lectures were all top students of the School of Psychology, and they all came to listen to their own lectures after listening to their speeches last time.
"Haha, actually, I think it's a waste of resources to have only a dozen students in a class like yours. Why don't you bring these students into our class when you give a lecture? ”
"Lev, don't go too far."
The other lecturers on the side couldn't stand it anymore and came forward to help.
"Haha, haha, Huang Yifan, I'll make a joke casually, you won't be surprised."
As he spoke, Lev also patted Huang Yifan's shoulder and made a very affectionate appearance with Huang Yifan.
"Of course it's not strange."
Huang Yifan stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Lev, I am very talented, and it is already very good to have more than a dozen students come to listen to the class." I'm worried that in the next few days, your students will come to me. If such a phenomenon does happen, I hope Mr. Lev will not blame me. ”
"In a few days, my students will come to you to listen to the lectures, hahaha, hahaha, do you hear me, joke, I have been in classes at the University of California for 7 years, and I have been rated as a lecturer leader at the California School of Psychology every year, you actually think that my students will come to your class, you think you are a professor at the University of California School of Psychology."
"Since you don't believe it, let's talk about it in a few days."
Not angry, Huang Yifan sorted out the materials and prepared to go to class.
"Ladies and gentlemen, psychology has developed so far, in fact, there are some things like the overall planning method. Through various experiments, psychoanalysis, and finally the psychology of all kinds of people, we can make a more accurate analysis based on this data. However, there are billions of people in the world, and I have been wondering, is it true that everyone's psychology, everyone's personality, and everyone's subconscious are different? If that's the case, then, as a psychoanalyst, you can't be exhausted. ”
Freud's psychology Huang Yifan talked about it about the same, and in this class, Huang Yifan is going to talk about something else.
"Of course, at the last academic exchange meeting held at the school, a professor raised the question of what is the use of psychology compared to science? In fact, this question is more clear, that is, where should I go to work after studying psychology in the future. ”
Huang Yifan's humorous class made the only dozen students laugh.
"Obviously, studying psychology is like studying liberal arts, although it is a panacea, but compared to these science and engineering majors, it is really not easy to get employed. I specifically surveyed the job intentions of our psychology students at the University of California after graduation, and 90% of them changed careers and went to work in a job that had nothing to do with psychology. The remaining 10 per cent work in the profession of psychiatrist...... But the problem is, I'm thinking, how many mentally ill people are there in North America, I'm afraid we have more practitioners than psychopaths. ”
This is a very embarrassing thing.
The students in the audience frowned while laughing.
was said by Huang Yifan, and many students began to worry about their future.
"So, ever since I became a lecturer, I've been thinking about whether we should make our psychology accessible to the general public, in addition to studying all kinds of psychological problems. Otherwise, only some of us understand psychology, and the public knows nothing about psychology, and our psychology may come to an end. ”
"Then what should I do, Teacher Huang Yifan."
The students in the audience asked worriedly.
"It's actually very simple, wouldn't it be much better if our psychology was known and accepted by the public like any other discipline. For example, when everyone talks about psychology, it's like talking about a musical movie, what do you think? ”
"Teacher Huang Yifan, can our psychology really be accepted by the public like a musical movie?"
Soon, "Hatton", a senior psychology student in the audience, asked.
"Of course, perhaps, in the future, our psychology will be known by more people than musical movies." (To be continued.) )
