In addition to public compulsory courses and basic courses, college students can also choose elective courses offered by the school according to their own interests, needs and specialties, which gives students a lot of room for independent choice and is conducive to their personalized development.

Third, the autonomy of learning methods. After more than ten years' study, college students have groped and summed up some learning methods that suit them, and they have a strong room for independent choice in acquiring knowledge and skills.

2. exploratory:

It has the nature of research and exploration, not only in completing academic papers and graduation thesis, participating in academic reports and seminars, but also in the content of courses studied. The study of college students is not only to master knowledge, but more importantly, to master the formation process of scientific knowledge and scientific research methods, and to understand the problems existing in various disciplines and the possibility of solving them.

The advanced stage of university is the key stage for an individual to become a professional, and there are many problems in the major that need to be discussed in depth. Therefore, college students must have the spirit of exploration and cultivate the ability to discover, analyze and solve problems.

3. Practicality:

Practice teaching plays a very important role in university study, accounting for a large proportion of the total class hours, generally exceeding 20%. The proportion of practical teaching in engineering colleges is as high as 30%. The practical teaching links in colleges and universities mainly include experimental courses, curriculum design, teaching practice, production practice and graduation design.

Practice teaching is an important link to cultivate college students' practical ability such as experiment and technical operation skills. In the process of practical teaching, college students can acquire their own operational skills and cultivate their theoretical application ability through observation and direct participation in practical activities.
