In general, the courses of the university can be divided into two types: "compulsory courses" and "elective courses", and the compulsory courses are also called professional compulsory courses, which are known from the name above as the courses that must be studied in this major, such as Chinese history, world history, historiography, and economic history in history...... These are all compulsory, and if you fail the exam, you will definitely not graduate, which is not to be said.

The general characteristic of elective courses is that even if they are hung up, they can theoretically be compensated for in other ways, of course, theoretically.

Electives can be roughly divided into two types, namely "major electives" and "public electives".

The former is aimed at students of this major, such as American history, Japanese history, Southeast Asian history, and European history...... These are major electives, and students can theoretically choose according to their interests.

Public elective courses can also be subdivided into two types, one is nominal, such as college English, college sports, ideological and political education, and ideology and socialism with Chinese characteristics...... Although these are called elective courses, you dare to fail the exam to try it, and in addition to physical education, doctoral students can't escape from these courses, which is the most criticized point of China's doctoral education.

The other is the class that Director Wang Yuan wants Chen Kan to open this time, which is an elective course of the whole school, and the class time of China Normal University is concentrated in the evening, three classes at a time, for all students, students can choose according to their interests, this kind of elective course can really be hung up, anyway, as long as the final completion of seven credits, it will be fine.

Don't think that seven credits is very simple, half a semester is only one credit, the Chinese Normal University stipulates that a student can only take a maximum of three credits of courses in a semester, that is, seven credits, and it takes at least three semesters to complete.

Because these elective courses are for tens of thousands of students in the school, many people will not be able to choose the course, so although it is called "elective courses", students may not be able to choose what they like.

In fact, in Chinese universities, it is very simple to distinguish between "compulsory courses" and "elective courses", just look at the final exam, and the compulsory courses must be formally finalized, and there is a specific score at the end, but the elective courses are not used, there is only one level, and there is no specific score.

The Chinese Normal University stipulates that each department must offer such school-wide elective courses, and the specific number of courses offered by a department is determined according to the number of teachers in different departments.

From the subject teachers of this kind of elective courses, it is also obvious to distinguish the strength of a school, such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, such top schools, if it is not at the professor level, it is impossible to open this kind of school-wide elective courses, but Chinese Normal University, Chen Kan and other novices can open courses, the gap is ......

Although Chen Kan's scientific research and teaching ability is not bad, but this is a matter of probability, the academic standards of old professors and old teachers are generally higher than that of new teachers, and some famous schools attach more importance to elective courses than even professional courses, because this is an opportunity for students to expand their knowledge.

In order to let Chen Kan open this elective course, Director Wang Yuan also made a cost, so that Chen Kan did not have to deal with some miscellaneous matters, such as not having to be a class teacher in the future, and not having to worry about teaching evaluation and other miscellaneous matters.

After weighing it for a while, Chen Kan finally agreed, these chores don't seem to be much, but they are very scattered, taking up a lot of time and energy, Chen Kan doesn't like it, because he has this time to do these things, Chen Kan might as well go to class, at least he can teach and educate people.

In the end, Chen Kan opened a course called "A Discussion on National History", talking about the history of China, there is no beginning and no end, that is, a lecture to let go of oneself, the class time is 12 weeks, one day a week, three classes a day, a total of 36 classes, two credits.

Of course, the course Chen Kan is submitted, and it still needs the approval of the school, and if the approval can be passed, the whole school will have one more elective course to choose from next semester.

The Spring Festival of 2016 is in February, but the university still holds the final exam of this semester after the end of New Year's Day, because many students in the university are from other places, and the school is worried that students will go home and collide with the world's largest population flow "Spring Festival", which will cause problems, so the time of the winter vacation of the university is generally early.

In December, the final exam review season that is unique to universities begins, and at this time, most of the students become top students, and go to the library early every day to grab a place, even if the students who don't like the class anymore are attentive to the lectures, hoping to leave a good impression on the teacher, and it is best to ask some "non-focused".

"If the students can maintain their current level of enthusiasm throughout the year, then our school's grades will definitely be able to improve to the next level."

"If it's really like what the senior sister said, it will be even more doomed, and you can only teach some students who are specifically for exams, so it's better not to have such a situation!"

"Yes, but there is no way, now the exam is the best way to test, and it can't be without the exam." Weng Xiupin said with emotion.

Chen Kan smiled when he heard this: "Senior sister, the little guy will go to elementary school in two years, what are you going to do?" Let him be subjected to the devastation of exam-oriented education? ”

"What can I do, I can only accept the destruction, and we were also destroyed in this way!" Weng Xiupin shrugged and said.

Now it is a break after class, Chen Kan, Weng Xiupin and other teachers are chatting in the office, and they inadvertently talk about the final exam, which finally leads to education.

"Actually, the education in some schools is not bad now, your teacher is still a professor at Jinling University, can't you arrange for the primary school affiliated to Jinling University to study?" Teacher Chen Mei said.

"Yes, I'll do this for the time being, but I see that those elementary school students have big schoolbags, it's really hard, and there are all kinds of tutorial classes."

"Senior sister, you're not going to start letting the little guy go to tutorial classes, are you?" Chen Kan asked.

Weng Xiupin shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak, the meaning is obvious, yes, when I usually discuss it, it is all kinds of things to reduce the burden on children, but when you are really a parent, how to say it and how to do it are completely different things.

said that he was a bystander, but when it came to himself, he was the authority, watching his child's classmates go to various tutorial classes, can he sit and watch his child fall behind other children?

As a parent, this is very difficult, this is not a matter of reason or unreasonable, this is the truth, many people know that "don't let children lose at the starting line" This sentence is very, but it is easier said than done.

"A second of silence for the little one."
