Shen Yiyi considered the relationship between himself and Tan Zhong, and he could also reduce a lot of worries when dealing with strangers. So she told Tan Zhong her thoughts directly.

"Principal Tan......" As soon as Shen Yiyi spoke, she saw Tan Zhong's disapproving eyes, so she changed her words next, "Teacher Tan." I think you should understand how our little group of students came together that you and the rest of the teachers in your school look up to. The details of the situation should have been reported by the school leaders as well. That's right, we were put together because we were working on a common graduation project and writing a set of graduation theses at the same time. ”

Shen Yiyi is ready to tell the story of the formation of his group. Where did I think that her narration was interrupted by Tan Zhong.

I saw Tan Zhong's eyes shining and wanted to confirm with Shen Yiyi: "Wait." Are you saying that the graduation project of your class this time is related to your graduation thesis? In other words, will your graduation thesis be a group of papers around a topic in the future? ”

Shen Yiyi nodded a little uncertainly: "Yes." Don't you know about this, headmaster? Didn't the teachers in the department tell us that writing a graduation thesis in the third year was required by the school? How is it that the principal doesn't know about it? ”

Tan Zhong said: "There is nothing wrong with this request in the school. But the school didn't know that your whole class would be working on the same topic. ”

"But the school should know that our group is working on the same project when we get together!" Shen Yiyi asked rhetorically.

Tan Zhong patted his forehead: "Now I understand." Each of these pieces of information has already been collected, but it is a discrete fragment of information. None of them were able to integrate. Even if schools were provided with fragments of this information, the final analysis of the information was still fragmented and inaccurate. The school thinks you're doing different things at the same time, but it doesn't realize that you're doing the same complex thing. As he spoke, he was a little dizzy.

Shen Yiyi still figured it out. Ultimately. The previous idea was that the research they were going to do in their class had nothing to do with their graduation thesis, and that it was purely a project similar to the simple topic they had done before. I didn't think that the ultimate goal was not to do a project, but to write a graduation thesis.

Shen Yiyi said to Tan Zhong: "If it weren't for the purpose of writing a graduation thesis, we wouldn't find guilt ourselves." You think that our project has made every student in the class day and night. People usually can't read books, just to figure out something that they haven't thought of learning before. ”

Tan Zhong after figuring out the truth about their subject. also had an understanding of Shen Yiyi's statement. He nodded, "yes." In fact, many things are not really able to be done well by sitting there thinking about them. The plan couldn't be better. It is also necessary to put it into practice. It is only when you really start doing something that you will find that some of your original ideas are too naïve and detached from reality, and you need to take time to make up for it. And if someone else is not doing it yet, they remind you that there may be a lack in your plan. You don't necessarily have to listen to it. But. From the perspective of the school teachers, I applaud you for this attempt. ”

He looked at Shen Yiyi: "I think you also know that the school has ideas for improving undergraduate education over the years, especially for the quality of some undergraduates' graduation theses. That's why the school requires your teachers to prepare your essay a year in advance. We think that the quality of undergraduate papers is not high, and the reason is that you have too little time to write your papers. You know, a good paper needs to be boiled out. The school expects you to be prepared to write your essay from your junior year. In this way, when it is time to actually start writing, you will be able to accumulate enough to write a better paper. ”

"Still. The school didn't expect that you would already be writing essays at the beginning of your junior year. Tan Zhong said with some amusement when he thought of this. If he had known about this, his glasses would have fallen off. But then he will definitely praise you for your pioneering spirit. ”

When Shen Yiyi heard this, he realized that it was their group of students who started writing essays from the junior year to make a mistake. The original meaning of the school was to let everyone start preparing for their essays from their junior year, not to let them write. Speaking of which, it was their group of students who put pressure on themselves that led to the current situation.

She couldn't help but touch her forehead: "Alas. We're asking for our own hardships. This is self-inflicted. If you hadn't made your own decisions, you would have asked the teachers in the department about it. This is not going to make such a big oolong right now. ”

Tan Zhong didn't see it that way: "That's not right. In fact, I think you should think that under such a mistake, you started a big project by mistake. That's a good thing. And I now believe that your future undergraduate dissertation will definitely reach the level of a graduate dissertation. It seems that the outstanding graduate thesis of your class is about to fall into your class. ”

Shen Yiyi didn't feel that it was so festive as Principal Tan said. What she thought about at this moment was that she was adding another fire to her already busy life. That minute is the rhythm of roasting yourself on a blazing fire. So naturally she complained: "It doesn't matter if you get a good paper or not." The point is that we're too tired for the whole class right now. If everyone knew that this graduation thesis didn't need to be written so early, everyone would definitely be angry. ”

Indeed, everyone is in such a hurry now, it is because they feel pressure in their hearts. If everyone realizes that this pressure does not actually exist, then how tense it will be at this time, how relaxed it will be at that time.

Tan Zhong was startled when he heard Shen Yiyi's words. The situation that Shen Yiyi said is completely possible. But if everyone was full of energy, they all relaxed after talking to Shen Yiyi. Don't think the headmaster is making trouble in there. Even if you don't think it's your own troublemaker, you can't escape the accusation of incompetence.

Principal Tan hurriedly said to Shen Yiyi: "Don't tell them that they are actually not in a hurry to write papers." It's better to wait for them to finish the project and then reveal the mystery. ”

Shen Yiyi objected disapprovingly: "That's not good. This is a crucial piece of news. How can you hide it from your classmates? Isn't this a deception to everyone? ”

Tan Zhong asked Shen Yiyi: "I'll ask you." Which teacher said you have to start writing your essay now? Who? You give his name. ”

Shen Yiyi thought for a while: "There is really no teacher who said that he had to write a paper now." ”

Tan Zhong said proudly: "Yes." The fact that you have imagined that you are going to start writing your thesis now has nothing to do with the school. There are no teachers in school who tell you that you have to write your essay now. You will be wrong yourself. How can you say that the school is cheating on you? ”

"But now that I know this from you, shouldn't I tell everyone the truth of the matter?" Shen Yiyi was puzzled.

"Do you tell everybody what's in it now? Is it just for everyone not to rush so much? So what do you do with your free time? Is there anything more meaningful waiting for everyone to do? Did you get a job? Or did you get a certificate? Shen Yiyi, academic achievements are not someone else's, but your own. While the school will be praised for your academic success, it is you who will be recognized for your work. You don't write your dissertation for school, but to lay the foundation for your future academic success. Tan Zhong said with a serious tone.

Shen Yiyi thought about Tan Zhong's words for a while. She had to admit that Teacher Tan had a point.

The school did not deceive itself. The school just said that it wants everyone to start preparing their graduation thesis from the third year. It's my classmates who keep the paper time so tight. And if he hadn't been close to Tan Zhong, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to clarify this matter with Principal Tan. That's the case. Until I finish my thesis, I may not be able to find out that I did it too early. What's more, the big guys are actually outside of writing papers. It's true that there is nothing worth doing in the eyes of teachers. Maybe writing a paper and doing research is the biggest thing in itself. So if you don't expose this matter with everyone, there should be no serious consequences.

Shen Yiyi's heart moved, and he felt that there should be no problem in doing what Principal Tan said. Okay. Then I won't talk about that. She still answered the matter of the expansion project team mentioned by Vice President Tan just now.

"Okay. Then it's better not to tell them. Shen Yiyi said to Tan Zhong one by one, "But the other two things you just mentioned, I don't think we can do anything at the moment." ”

Shen Yi broke his fingers one by one and counted them to Tan Zhong: "Look." We are now on this topic. Even if I personally came forward to help the students solve the problems of the research objects, I also provided some sponsorship for the students. But that's how big the project is. It's useless to add someone else. ”

"As for extending our model to other departments, I don't think it's going to be easy. Because our cohesion comes from an interesting project that can be completed together. It's not easy to find equally interesting programs for other departments. ”

Tan Zhong can accept the first point that Shen Yiyi said. Indeed, according to Shen Yiyi's own description, this topic has been divided into enough details. It is not necessary to add people to it, and it is likely to be counterproductive. A cartoon that everyone watched since childhood was about the trouble caused by too many people in a team. Therefore, the tragedy of "one monk carrying water to eat, two monks carrying water to eat, and three monks having no water to eat" cannot be staged in this rare team.

However, for the second point, Vice President Tan still has his own ideas.

"One by one. You said that your research group is strung together by a single project, and that you can't get more people now. I agree with that. But why do you say that your model can't be replicated in other departments? I think you're in a good way now. Just find similar topics for other departments. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to motivate everyone to work together? ”

Shen Yiyi was a little helpless. This Teacher Tan still hasn't grasped his own meaning. She looked at Tan Zhong: "Principal Tan, don't you think that my current topic has fallen from the sky, or that I can shoot it with a casual pat on the head, right?" Let me tell you, in fact, the final brewing of the project is really stuck in the topic selection. First, it can't be too complicated, because things that are too complicated are not suitable for undergraduates; Second, it can't be too simple, if someone else can just get something that can come out in two or three clicks, it is not suitable for the graduation thesis. And to write a thesis, especially for an engineering major like ours, the style of a paper with pure written calculations is not high, and there must be experimental verification, right? Well, you have to find an object that you can use to implement. There is the coordination of relationships, and there is also the use of investment. This is not as easy as the leaders think. ”

"I agree with the leaders who want to replicate our experience in other departments. But first of all, I suggest that it is better to let students from other departments come up with a topic on their own. Of course, the value and achievability of the task must reach an acceptable level. Then there's the investment of funds. We have a lot of money for our project. I don't shy away from saying this, it has something to do with my personal little money. However, even if students from other departments find a project, can the school leaders allocate some of the funds from the school fund to support them? Let me start by saying that the fund I was going to set up at the school didn't do that kind of thing. That's a start-up fund, not for this kind of activity organized purely for the purpose of dissertation. ”

Shen Yiyi opened his mouth, and without waiting for Tan Zhong to say the rest of the words, he directly blocked Principal Tan's subsequent attempts, which really made Principal Tan a little embarrassed. In fact, Shen Yiyi did not guess wrong. The school's school funds are already very tight, and each has its own place, where can there be a balance for undergraduate projects? At the beginning, one of the purposes of the principal asking Tan Zhong to talk to Shen Yiyi about these things was really to let Vice President Tan discuss with Shen Yiyi whether he could contribute some money to bear the funding for the graduation theses of students from other departments. (To be continued.) )
