The forms of teaching practice can be lectures, tutoring, organizing classroom discussions, guiding experiments, guiding books, course papers for junior college students, and assisting in guiding undergraduate graduation papers. Among them, the number of undergraduate and junior college students is generally not less than 20 hours. Teaching practice is based on "passing".

Full-time graduate students should actively participate in social practice activities, and complete at least 1 high-quality social practice survey report before graduation thesis defense, otherwise they will not be able to participate in thesis defense.

3. Make-up course

Postgraduates with the same academic ability or cross-majors must make up 2-3 main courses of their major universities; Make-up lessons cannot replace the degree courses and elective courses of this major, which are not counted as credits, and shall be subject to passing the examination. Those who make up lessons or fail the exam will not be able to participate in the thesis defense.

V. Curriculum Evaluation and Performance Management

Postgraduates of this major must complete all training links according to the requirements of the professional training plan, take relevant exams, and those who pass the exams will get corresponding credits. The assessment results are recorded in the summary of results, and included in my file and degree file.

1, assessment is generally divided into examination and assessment. Professional degree courses adopt examination methods, and non-degree courses adopt examination methods or examination methods. Teaching practice, academic activities, social practice and other compulsory links are written by instructors and training units to evaluate their achievements.

The examination method can be written (open or closed), oral or a combination of oral and written examinations. The examination methods of degree basic courses and professional courses should include closed-book examination, and the proportion of closed-book examination results in the total course score should not be less than 50%. The assessment method shall be put forward by the teachers according to the characteristics of the course within two weeks after the start of the course and reported to the leaders in charge of the unit for approval.

2. Actively explore ways to cultivate graduate students, strive to realize the integration of teaching and scientific research, and strive to achieve two combinations: first, organically combine systematic professional knowledge learning with ideological and political education to make them both adults and talents; The second is to combine the teaching of professional basic knowledge with the tracking research of academic trends and the scientific training of thinking methods and research methods, so that they can inherit and be good at innovation.

3. Give priority to classroom teaching, supplemented by social investigation, academic activities, teaching practice and social practice, so as to integrate theory with practice and implement ability training.
