Latest website: What will the summer vacation of a college teacher look like?
Many people are very envious of university teachers. After all, universities are not as busy as junior high school and high school courses, and there are winter and summer vacations.
In their opinion, the summer vacation of a university teacher is not to lie at home every day watching dramas, playing games, or going on a trip.
But the actual situation is: the school is on vacation, and the academics are not on vacation.
The summer life of a university teacher like the one imagined by outsiders rarely appears, and only those teachers who lie flat, such as without considering the subject, salary, and professional title promotion, can indeed do it.
But the reality is often cruel. Teachers who have just worked have to consider the dowry, housing loan, and car loan when they get married a few years later. Teachers who have worked for a few years and have a wife and children have to consider the family's expenses and children's schooling. Ten years of professors also need to consider the issue of children getting married and the elderly...
The real summer routine of a college teacher is like this:
Write the thesis, change the thesis, change the thesis, change the thesis, change the thesis, change the thesis, change the thesis... The last "maybe" is to publish the thesis.
Why use "maybe", because it may not be published successfully.
Science and engineering teachers usually travel to and from the laboratory to conduct scientific experiments, and humanities and social science teachers also engage in their own academic research projects.
For students, it is summer vacation, but for teachers, summer vacation is the busiest.
At this point, the situation of domestic universities and foreign universities is highly consistent.
For example, in 2015, the British "Times Higher Education" once conducted a survey, they interviewed 16 famous British university professors, including Oxford University, and asked them to talk about their summer jobs.
In a nutshell, the main jobs of professors during summer vacation are: engaging in academic research, continuing teaching work, participating in academic conferences, going out for interviews, and so on.
After all, there is no end to the road of education, and moving forward is the best attitude.
The first movement of Beethoven's "Fifth Symphony. Destiny" sounded in the cafe.
Listening to the high-pitched and passionate music, Hu Qing only felt that the notes hit his brain one by one, and finally turned into inspiration and letters under his pen.
His name is Hu Qing, he graduated from BJ University with a bachelor's degree and a Ph.D.
This coffee shop named "IdealCoffee" is newly opened recently. Perhaps its Chinese name "ideal" is more popular with young scholars. After all, most of the academics are a bit idealistic.
There is also piano music and pure music played all day in the coffee shop. Hu Qingting likes to study his mathematics in this environment.
Not every mathematician likes a quiet environment.
The pen kept spinning and writing, and the scratch paper on the table covered one sheet after another. With the slow spit out, Hu Qing stopped the pen in his hand.
"Failed again."
Rubbing his cheeks with his hands, this was his 31st attempt to find a solution.
But I don't know how many ways to change it, but I can't deduce it.
If this mathematical paper can be written perfectly, even the four major journals of mathematics are not impossible.
Ahem, although the probability of success is not high.
It can be published in the journals "DukeMath", "AnnalesScil\'ENS", "JEM****AM", which are second only to the four major journals.
When I was upset, two voices of discussion came from beside me. Although the voices were not loud, I could barely hear them clearly.
The ideal coffee shop is not like the coffee shop outside. Loud noise is strictly prohibited, and only soft communication is allowed. After all, most of the people who come here are professors and scholars.
"I just saw a piece of news, and our school is on Weibo hot search again!"
"What news? It's about to start pre-job training. Do you still have time to read Weibo?"
"The school's admission letter for new students also includes the iPad Pro sponsored by Apple. This... I am envious. Even American universities don't have this treatment."
"Indeed, when I was a PhD student at Cambridge University, I never saw Apple sponsoring freshmen. I can only say that our school has too much influence in the technology world."
"It's still your engineering department. The school's focus is obviously engineering. We have a hard time doing humanities and social sciences."
"This is also normal. Humanities and social sciences all rely on precipitation. Guanghua's development momentum is fierce, and regardless of qualifications, even if it is not a science and engineering degree, you can still succeed if you have the ability."
"Yes, it's better than other schools, even Qingbei can't avoid these 'old rules'."
Hu Qing glanced at the two of them a little, they were about the same age as him, and with the conversation just now, it could basically be determined that the other party was also a newly hired teacher who came in at the same time as him.
It sounds like one is engineering and the other is humanities and social sciences.
What the heck is just an admissions letter and a tablet?
His daily routine is to write mathematical papers, read mathematical papers, and as for entertainment... It seems that it is just listening to songs.
Opened the dusty Weibo for a long time, searched for keywords, and sure enough, relevant news popped up.
Looking at the news content, Hu Qing's face was stunned.
Then he touched his nose.
"This admission letter is much more luxurious than the admission letter from Peking University that I got back then."
He thinks it's good to give freshmen a tablet computer. After all, a tablet computer is a learning productivity, and it is very convenient to read papers and take notes.
It's just too luxurious and enviable.
But because of this, Hu Qing thought of the pre-job training and mobilization meeting for new teachers held in the afternoon, and Principal Chen Hao would also attend, and he couldn't help but feel hot.
For Chen Hao, both his academic ability and personal charm are very strong, and he can solve the domestic chip problem by himself!
It can be said to be an idol in the minds of young scholars!
After clearing the thoughts in his mind, Hu Qing continued to devote himself to the calculation.
His goal is to appraise Guanghua Youth within three years.
3pm.
The pre-job training mobilization meeting for newly hired teachers of Guanghua University.
There are more than 200 newly hired teachers, most of them are young teachers with doctoral degrees.
The school leaders of Guanghua University basically attended, and Chen Hao, the principal, naturally sat in the middle of the leadership seat.
Conventional university meetings have to start for two hours, but at the request of Chen Hao, Guanghua University's large and small meetings were shortened to one hour.
Hu Qing sat in the chair and listened intently to Chen Hao's speech.
"Guanghua University will not be the same as other universities. Administrative matters are done by administration, and administration will never be allowed to interfere with teaching and research!"
"As for teaching and research, you don't need to separate some things from chores. You only need to be responsible for students and projects."
Chen Hao looked around at the crowd, and said loudly: "Guanghua University will be a holy place of colleges and universities dedicated to learning. Any faculty member who encounters seniority, unfairness, oppression, etc., can come to my office to find me directly. Complaint!"
"Of course, the school respects the teachers, and I hope everyone here can respect your students. I don't want to see any students in Guanghua being forced to jump off the building or purple sand. Once they appear, they will never be tolerated, or even banned in the industry! Please believe I, Chen Hao, have this strength."
"I have no ability, I can barely tolerate it, but if you have no morality, please consciously get out of Guanghua."
It's not that he speaks badly, but that a group of black sheep is really indispensable in the teaching profession.
Treat graduate students as free labor, and never graduate until the eighth year...
Sending the tutor's children to and from school, cooking at the tutor's house, etc., these situations are not one or two cases.
He believes that what a university should really be like is that students only need to be responsible for learning, teachers only need to be responsible for teaching, researchers focus on scientific research, and administration does not cross boundaries.
Is it bad to focus on each other and dig deep into your own field and not cross the line?
The newly recruited teachers present heard Chen Hao's direct and undisguised words and caused an uproar.
Not uncomfortable, but rather excited.
A university president who respects students, respects teachers, and is very courageous is quite rare.
With such a leader with clear rewards and punishments, everyone feels that there is a rush in their work life.
Hu Qing's eyes flashed even more, his hands clenched tightly.
"My choice is indeed correct!"
...
at the same time.
Beijing, Ministry of Science and Technology.
In a conference room, the topic of discussion was related to Guanghua University and Chen Hao.
ps: The second chapter was gone yesterday, I'm really sorry, I'm in a slump.
