The long night is long, accompanied by beauty, although Duke is often hit by Shuya, but on the whole the two chatted very pleasantly, because of the spirit before, the two of them chatted with great interest until dawn, the next day is a rare sunny day, the sky of Boston after the snow is as blue as washing, the golden sun is sprinkled on the windowsill, and occasionally a trace of leakage through the curtains shines into the room, making people feel extraordinarily warm. "Oh...... Duke, I'm a little sleepy, I don't know how many days it will take to reverse the jet lag. What are you going to do today? Shuya yawned. As soon as it was dawn, the sleepiness of the two people who had been chatting all night began to come up.

"I'm going to visit the professor first, and the professor will determine the course plan, and then ask for a study list, go to the library to borrow it and start studying, and we also have to study 8 doctoral courses before we can finish the course and start writing a thesis. I heard that I had to take the doctoral qualification exam after studying, and I didn't want to go back to the country after all the way to get here. Duke said. What about you? ”

"We don't seem to have any exams, but yesterday the tutor has given me a list of teaching case materials, and today I will also go to the reference room to borrow reference materials to come back, it is said that our learning is mainly to do case analysis, if we don't do our homework in advance, it will be bad if the professor names them to make a case analysis report during class, and some courses our usual grades will account for 50% of our academic performance. So it looks like there's no formal exam, but every day looks like an exam, and I've heard that even grabbing a seat in class is like a war. Speaking of studying, Shu Ya had a bitter face.

"And in the first year, we have to take ten courses, ten, I don't know how to get through. There's not much time for chatting like this in the future. To complete these ten courses, I don't know how many reports I have to write and how many case studies I have to do to pass. ”

I can't imagine that you, a genius girl, are also afraid of difficulties.

"Looks like we're all going to have to have a hard time going through a while." Duke concluded, ending the night's small talk.

The MIT Ph.D. program is based on students' own choice, but must meet the requirements of the university's regulations and obtain the consent of the instructor. The school requires students to determine the second major before choosing a course, and the second major is generally determined by the student according to the needs of interest or scientific research, which is mainly reflected through the study of courses, that is, two courses of the second major must be taken. Since Duke doesn't need teaching assistants to earn grants to supplement himself, this amount of money is not bad now, and time is relatively more precious to Duke.

According to the requirements of MIT, doctoral students usually have to take 8 courses, and they must have good grades to complete the credits, Duke got the 2013 spring class schedule, studied it carefully, and found that most of the courses are 3 to 5 hours a week, people who are used to living in domestic universities do not think that this is very easy, you must know that the progress of MIT professors in class is quite fast, basically the main points of the course are pulled over so that students have an overview, and to deeply grasp the course content mainly depends on students' self-study, If you don't know how to study on your own, you can go home directly, and MIT professors won't be your nanny.

In this case, if it is obviously not enough to rely on the consciousness and consciousness of the students alone, it is very likely that they will become sheep herding. As a result, MIT professors employ a large number of assignments and strict grading requirements as a means of forcing students to study on their own. After the course every week, you have to assign a considerable amount of homework to urge you to study deeply, and the homework assigned by the professors, if you don't read and understand the relevant materials assigned by the professors, you don't want to do the homework.

For the average Ph.D., this assignment takes at least two days. Therefore, taking two courses a semester is a common choice.

However, in this way, it takes two years to complete the doctoral credit in just one major. In this way, to complete the task of Billem, just studying Duke will have to spend several years at MIT, and Duke can afford it, but Billem may not be able to afford it. Therefore, it is not possible to follow the rules step by step.

Duke carefully studied the course schedule, and found that the computer course and physics course could be staggered this semester, and decided to choose physics as his second major.

But the number of courses Duke chooses is enough to make people maddened, because he not only chooses four courses for this major, but also for the second major, so that he chooses eight major courses in one semester, which is usually a normal student's two-year course, and every week is basically full of courses that need to be attended, is this what one person can do?

Although Duke is not too clear about the rules and requirements of MIT, Duke believes that if he just hands over the course design, Duke believes that Professor Pol will go berserk, and there is no problem for a person to be arrogant, there has never been a shortage of arrogant technical talents at MIT, but a crazy course arrangement like Duke, most people do not think it is arrogant but brain-dead.

In order to avoid being seen as a brain-dead person by Professor Bohr, Duke felt that he should make some preparations, show his strength, and prove that he is capable of completing this crazy course plan, and he would definitely not worry about a student learning too much knowledge at MIT. He went to the library to borrow and study according to the list of reference materials suggested in the class schedule, and of course this honorable task was mainly done by Kerry.

The librarians who want to come to MIT have been accustomed to encountering all kinds of strange people, and in the face of Duke borrowing more than 60 books piled up like a hill at one time, they didn't show the slightest strange look, and the library even prepared a trolley like a supermarket. As long as you want to use something that you can't find, in this environment, the part of the people with the highest IQ in the world can be concentrated to engage in research with peace of mind, how can you not produce results, and you can get so many Nobel Prizes back, MIT is really a little different.

Moving the books back to the dormitory, in addition to eating and sleeping, most of Duke's time is spent reading books, these books are tutorials and reference materials without electronic versions, Duke must read them page by page, Kerry can receive them through the images reflected into the brain, and the electronic version of the reference materials that can be downloaded, search for the latest research results related to the course on the Internet, Duke downloaded it and threw it directly to Kerry, and in less than a week, on Friday afternoon, Duke finally "studied" these courses Finished, I read through the borrowed books completely, although it was a swallowing of dates, but don't forget that these are more than sixty professional books, each book is as little as two or three hundred pages, more than a thousand pages, a total of more than 10,000 pages, even if it is only once, it is a huge torture for Duke's brain and eyes, and after absorbing this knowledge, Kerry generated a summary report of these eight courses in the blink of an eye.

With red eyes like a rabbit, Duke came to the printing room with a copy of the review report, the USB flash drive is the result of the hard work of the past few days, these Duke will take eight courses to read the review report, each is 10,000 words long, but the main points of the course, the current research hot and difficult points, and even some of the wrong views in the books, the key points that may be broken in the future are listed very clearly, if the professor in the class sees this report, he will definitely be surprised, Because the report is clear, it is like the writing of a scholar who has studied this course for several years. No, the average scholar may not even be able to write so clearly.

Yes, these reports have included the essence of all the information that Duke has gathered, and of course, who in the world today can compare to the supercomputer of Kerry, and perhaps to remove the more rebellious being than Lem. Now that the more than 60 books and related paper reports and other contents have been completely absorbed into the knowledge base compiled by Kerry, along the guidance of this organized knowledge base, Duke even wonders if he has also learned this knowledge, because everything seems to be very familiar, for example, just saw a thinking problem, Kerry can always quickly extract the knowledge content related to the problem, so that Duke can easily understand.

After all, Duke relied on his own ability to go to graduate school, and he had studied the basics of these courses, but some things were not very clear after a long time, and now he could look through the knowledge base that Kerry had sorted out at any time, just like carrying a library at any time, and these professional knowledge was equivalent to taking root in Duke's mind as if it were on call. Therefore, for a while, Duke feels as if he has grown a lot, which is normal, from the perspective of brain science, a person's intelligence can actually be divided into multiple parts, and memory ability is undoubtedly one of the most important links, Duke with Kerry is now equivalent to a genius who will never forget, and this learning speed has of course become very terrifying.

After printing those reports, it felt like an important project had been completed, and after almost a week of hard work, tomorrow was the weekend, and Duke decided to give himself a day off to relax his tense body and get a good night's sleep, and then go out for a stroll, visit Boston, and treat himself to an authentic Western meal. Of course, it would be better if Shu Ya, a genius beautiful girl, could be together.

Thinking of this, Duke raised his hand and took out the phone and sent a text message to Shu Ya. Now the mobile phone numbers of both of them have been changed to local numbers, speaking of which is still arranged by Shu Ya, I don't know how to do it, Shu Ya chose two numbers that are only one difference, Shu Ya said that if someone wants their own number, they will call Duke to report it, and they are too lazy to remember, this reason is quite powerful, so that Duke who was busy at the time was a little sweaty.

After a while, Shu Ya called, looking depressed and saying that she had just finished class, and she had to write a report tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and there was no time to go shopping; Duke was a little disappointed, and casually mentioned going to eat authentic Western food, Shu Ya immediately had the spirit, and strongly asked to change the place near the school, she must take the time to sacrifice her life to accompany the gentleman.
