How do freshmen plan their college life and establish their learning progress?
According to the reporter, for most freshmen, how to study independently is the first difficult problem in college life. In the past, most students studied the same courses in high school for three years, but in college, education paid more attention to students' personality, including compulsory courses and elective courses. Almost no two college students study the same course, so some freshmen are confused about how to master the learning methods and progress of the new course.
JASON ZHANG, a sophomore at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, told reporters that he has been interested in learning since his freshman year? At a loss? . Because, in their class, because everyone chooses different classes and places, coupled with the division of some community activities, students in a class don't spend much time together in class. Usually, students have to study by themselves most of the time, so students can't know the learning progress and learning level of others. In this regard, experts suggest that freshmen should change their learning style as soon as possible, jump out of dependence on the progress of middle school students and establish their own learning progress.
It is not advisable to arrange too many elective courses.
Generally speaking, university courses are divided into public compulsory courses, public elective courses, professional compulsory courses, professional elective courses and double-degree elective courses. For undergraduates, public compulsory courses and professional compulsory courses are selected by default by the course selection software system, and those with freedom of choice are public elective courses.
Teacher Wu, a counselor at Sun Yat-sen University, pointed out that freshmen are basically registering online now, so freshmen should not go out two days before the start of school and strive for online registration? Spike. Go to your favorite class. Students should consider the load they can bear when choosing courses. If they take too many courses at a time, they are not only under great study pressure, but also have no time to participate in physical exercise and club activities, and the average number of clubs at the end of the period may be relatively low, thus affecting graduation recommendation projects, application for studying abroad and job hunting. There are too many other courses, and it is very likely that several courses will be tested at the same time, which is difficult to cope with.
In addition, Mr. Wu introduced that five or six years ago, students chose elective courses mainly based on interest, and popular courses included introduction to stock investment, comparative culture between China and the West, and appreciation of classical music. However, in recent years, students have become more utilitarian, and the course selection is basically based on the academic burden and exam difficulty, and they are keen to choose the most easily passed course. Some senior three students even reported:? Looking for a job now, it makes no sense for you to tell HR what elective courses you have taken. Elective courses are basically? Introduction to learning? Did you learn more? Introduction? Will not be treated as a trained person. ?
Don't blindly follow suit in textual research
At present, textual research is an inevitable learning theme in college life. Students with different academic qualifications and majors will face textual research, such as CET-4, CET-2 and CET-4, and professional skill certificates in higher vocational colleges. Some education experts pointed out that freshmen should know the market demand in time, plan and investigate selectively according to their own situation, and should not blindly follow suit.
It is understood that in recent years, undergraduates are most keen on taking English certificates, because CET-4 and CET-6 have become graduates looking for jobs? Prescribed action? Therefore, BEC (Cambridge Business English) and TOEIC (TOEIC) are proof of English ability? Extra points? . Besides, Putonghua Grade Certificate and Teacher Qualification Certificate are also favored by some undergraduates, because some enterprises in South China require candidates to reach Putonghua when recruiting? Second class, second class? Above. It is reported that the Putonghua training and examination services provided by Guangzhou include: Guangdong Institute of Education Putonghua Proficiency Test Station, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies Putonghua Training Test Station, Wenhua College of Jida University Putonghua Test Station, Sun Yat-sen University Putonghua Proficiency Test Station and so on.
For junior college students, professional skills training with strong practicability and good employment prospects is popular, such as software engineer training, graphic design, mold design, fashion design, game design, animation design and other vocational skills training courses. These trainings are expensive, which is about equivalent to one year's college tuition for an undergraduate. More expensive training programs even cost more than 10 thousand yuan.
community planning
Join clubs according to interests and majors.
Community is an important part of campus culture, and many freshmen adapt to the new university life by joining the community. However, experts pointed out that joining a community is also very particular. Some students have signed up for seven or eight clubs, such as drama clubs, radio stations and bicycle associations, but they have signed up for too many clubs, and they are tired of participating in various club activities every day, resulting in a lot of homework. After the enthusiasm, no club can persist.
Teacher Huang, a counselor of South China Normal University, said that South China Normal University is an open education platform and a place for students to show their personalities. Freshmen can join some clubs according to their interests and majors, which can not only lay the foundation for their future career, expand their knowledge and make friends with different majors, but also release their talents and enhance their self-confidence.
Bi Decai, general manager of China Cai Ying. In South China, it is pointed out that the experience of club work is very important in finding work time. Some well-known companies eliminated students without certain club titles at the first level of recruitment. In the last round of interview, telling a story about a community is A? Extra points? If you have no club experience, you have no material to tell the story to the supervisor; Sometimes you even want to make it up or perform it. These impromptu fabrications simply can't stand the supervisor's questioning on details. He suggested that freshmen should selectively participate in the school's club activities according to their future career orientation, find a correct personal orientation in the club activities, and strengthen the exercise of interpersonal communication and processing skills.
It is reported that for the evaluation of scholarships, the bonus points of different societies are obviously different, and students who hold the positions of youth league committees and student unions in schools or colleges will get higher bonus points; For some interest groups, the weight of extra points may only be 1/3 of the Youth League Committee and the Student Union. In many classes, students with the best grades can only get B and C scholarships, while students with average grades and outstanding club activities get A scholarships.
How do freshmen plan their college life and set goals and plans?
Setting goals is the starting point of success. If college students can plan and design their own future in time, their real study and life will point to this goal, and every day will be meaningful, and they will also become people who are prepared for the future. The design of the target should be scientific and reasonable. Goals should be specific and measurable; The goal should be appropriate, not too ambitious, unrealistic and conservative, which will affect the play and should be achievable; Goals should reflect stages, including short-term goals, medium-term goals and long-term goals.
The purpose of professional education in universities is to train senior professionals. Unlike middle school students, college students are closer to their future careers. Therefore, from the needs of the profession and their own aspirations, the learning objectives of universities should be more specific and clear. Different disciplines have different goals, engineering. The goal of most students is to become a qualified engineer and make achievements in the future engineering field. Students majoring in economics aim to become an economist and succeed in the financial field in the future; Art students aim to become artists, and they should give full play to their talents in the art field in the future. In short, students of different majors should have different goals. Even if each student's situation is different in the same major, their specific aspirations and goals should be different. No matter what the goal is, you can set it as long as it suits you and is beneficial to society.
With the goal, we should make a scientific and feasible plan for ourselves, which is aimed at our own big goals, including college life planning, career planning and even life planning. In order to achieve such a big goal, we need to make a series of action plans and define a series of small goals. From today on, we will gain knowledge through study, exercise our ability through practice, improve our quality through school education and self-cultivation, take every learning link and every activity in each semester seriously, strive to do everything well, strive to be the best ourselves every day, and move from a small success today to a great success tomorrow.
Select the appropriate mode.
In the development mode, we should have our own design and choice, and learn and grow according to the selected mode. Compound mode is an alternative mode. Follow? Not professional, not professional? On the basis of learning the major well, expand the knowledge, such as learning machinery and knowing a little electricity; Those who study electricity know a little about machinery; Engineering students know a little about economy and management, which is the need of future work. Liberal arts students should expand their knowledge according to the compound model, or choose minor or double degree, so that they can find a job smoothly after graduation. In the meantime, you can choose? Qualified+specialty? Mode, that is, on the basis of being qualified in basic aspects, highlight one's hobbies and advantages, develop one's own personality, March into the field that one is most inspired and interested in, give play to one's own specialty, and win by specialty. Compound mode and? Qualified+specialty? The model is not contradictory and can be taken into account.
In the specific mode, there are still problems in design and selection. For example, choosing research type, engineering technology type or management type should be decided according to your own conditions and aspirations. The specific mode is selected, and the corresponding learning content and methods are also selected. The research-oriented model should lay a solid theoretical foundation, strive to be broad and thick, aim at a certain direction of the frontier of the discipline to explore and study, and attach importance to improving the analytical research methods; The engineering technology model should focus on learning the subject foundation well, combining theory with engineering practice, cultivating and training practical ability, and attaching importance to design and comprehensive methods. On the basis of learning the theoretical knowledge of this major, the management mode should expand the knowledge, especially the knowledge of humanities and social sciences, and actively undertake the relevant responsibilities of classes, student unions or societies, organize and participate in various activities, and attach importance to cultivating and improving their communication skills and organization and coordination skills.
The social demand for talents is diversified, and each student's personality and pursuit are also different, so the development model should also be diversified. Every student should choose the mode that suits him best and be his best, instead of imitating others and repeating others' paths.
Constantly motivate yourself
Although all successful people in this world have different success situations, one thing is highly consistent, that is, they all have clear goals and positive attitudes towards life, which can constantly stimulate their inner desire for success and passion for struggle. Napoleon, founder of modern success? Hill has a wonderful exposition: There are only small differences between people, but this small difference often leads to huge differences. This small difference is whether the mentality is positive or negative, and this huge difference is success or failure. ?
Young students are in a period of vigor and vitality, full of longing for the future. As long as we set up lofty ideals, clear goals and corresponding plans, it is easy to generate motivation and passion and motivate ourselves to make unremitting efforts to achieve the established ideals and goals.
Let every student become an adult, a talented person and a successful person, which is not only the fundamental task of the school, but also the goal of college students. Adults pay attention to internalization and cultivation, embody the principles of being human, learn and understand, and regulate their behavior according to these principles, consciously internalize these principles into their own qualities, develop good habits and attitudes, practice unity, and accumulate good deeds into morality. Success lies in learning and practice, mastering the ability to do things, learning and mastering the corresponding basic knowledge and professional knowledge, and exercising and improving various abilities through practice. Success lies in pursuit and struggle, and it should be based on adulthood and success.
There are two sentences in the Book of Changes:? Tian Xingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement? In other words, people should be as persistent, indomitable, endless and struggling as the operation of the sky, and demand themselves with such an attitude; ? The terrain is Kun, and the gentleman carries the goods with morality? It means that people should treat others with a generous and tolerant attitude like the earth, undertake affairs with a brave attitude, and behave and do things with such an attitude. This is the essence of our excellent Chinese traditional culture and should be the motto of contemporary college students to strive for self-improvement.
