[Turn] Where is ]HKU better than Tsinghua Peking University? What is the difference?
Comprehensive ranking factors of global universities: citation index. Won the world prize (Nobel Prize, Fields Prize, Turing Prize. . . ) professor. The number of professors with the highest reputation (reputation evaluation comes from being cited many times by international journals). Survey ranking of the world's most famous scholars. Student: The ratio of professors (the lower the better). The average number of high-quality journal papers published by professors. The quality of students when they enter school; Graduation rate of students. School funds (successful national projects, etc.) ). Most schools in the Mainland will be low (except for the quality of enrollment), and HKU's evaluation results will be higher than those in the Mainland, because it has more high-quality professors attracted from abroad and a relatively healthy evaluation, tenure and retirement system. The reform of higher education in China must start with teachers. That is, Mei Yiqi said: "The so-called great scholar is not a building, but a master." Tsinghua, under the administration and the party group, lacks the spirit of freedom of thought and independent thinking, and its utilitarian atmosphere is very serious. Poor treatment and institutional reasons lead teachers to be busy making money; Seriously ignore the quality of undergraduate teaching and poor style of study; System and other reasons can not attract powerful young researchers; Graduate students become cheap labor. My feeling about Tsinghua is 1, and I don't pay much attention to undergraduate teaching. For example, the teachers of many undergraduate courses don't know what they are talking about in class. A teacher openly declared in class: "I am an engineer, and our study is almost enough. Teaching is not my business." Most of the homework is the previous version. After junior year, half of the students no longer write their own homework. But there is no way. We students have no influence on the teaching arrangements, teachers and textbooks in the department. Even the teachers in the department know this situation, but they have done nothing, and they have no motivation to reform. 2. Utilitarianism is very important. What universities admire most is not freedom of thought, innovative spirit and independent thinking, but how much money you earn. The future of being an official is much better. 3. A considerable number of textbooks are rotten to death. Most of these textbooks are compiled by domestic scholars. When you look at those things, you will feel that they are not for people to see. I really feel that these domestic textbooks used to teach physical education. Some people say that there is something wrong with the teacher, but there is still a question to consider: Why can we only spend so much money to buy famous professors who are too old to do research? Why attract so few young and powerful world-class researchers? In the final analysis, it is still a system problem. Academic circles are like bureaucratic circles, and scholars have administrative positions. If young people only rely on their own scientific research efforts, there is basically no future. Only holding thighs and leaning against trees will naturally lack the spirit of innovation and independence. How can you make anything by doing this? 5. Treat the problem. The salary of an associate professor in Tsinghua Institute of Information is 5000+ RMB a month, which is really a bit low. If you have a family child, it is very difficult to support your family. If teachers want to live, they can only pull the company's projects. In order to reduce costs, they gave jobs to graduate students, whose monthly salary ranged from 300 yuan to 900 yuan. It is conceivable that when professors are busy making money, how can universities make any major breakthroughs in innovative research? 6. Tsinghua constantly emphasizes the sense of social responsibility. In this environment, a considerable number of courses are self-taught, which greatly improves the self-learning ability of most students. It is also an unexpected gain. 7. World third-rate universities, world-class students. There is a strong competitive atmosphere here, and most students are very strong, which strengthens the style of study and ensures that most students will not sink. Tsinghua is one of the best engineering universities in China, but only students from Tsinghua can be admitted. I have been working in Microsoft and innovation works since 2007. According to my observation of Tsinghua people around me, most students in Tsinghua are not disappointing. Many students in Tsinghua are basically the result of their own cleverness and hard work, and the resources provided by the school are not very helpful. Undergraduate education in Tsinghua is far better than graduate education, which is related to the relatively single undergraduate education and the loss of good students when they graduate. The courses and research of graduate students in Tsinghua are the subjects of the last era, and it is not a little bit that professors are out of touch with the industry. Most people are busy evaluating professional titles and pulling external projects to make money. 100% of coding papers are rubbish (a few msra are still useful), while many external projects are rotten "national projects", which seriously mislead students. My feelings about the University of Hong Kong. I am an undergraduate student at the University of Hong Kong. I exchanged in Peking University for a year, in an American college of arts and sciences. Among them, Hong Kong University is what I hate most, and it is also the most unhappy. Although there is such a factor as "changing one's life is equal to playing", the values of HKU are really not to my taste. Say yes first. 1.HKU's hardware facilities are indeed better than those of Peking University. Libraries, computer rooms, dormitories and the like. I don't have a laboratory, so I have no say in this respect. There are many opportunities for international exchange. There are two or three hundred exchange places for undergraduates every year, and the same number of foreigners come to exchange. The feelings of visiting scholars are not limited to Peking University. The course is very tight, and the time is short. The past English teaching has trained our mainland students. There are no ordinary seniors in China who don't attend classes. 4. For example, in teaching, business students have many opportunities to show real cases, which is very helpful when training to find a job. Engineering seems to be a lot of experimental tasks. Science doesn't know whether there are many scientific research opportunities. That's not good. Not necessarily comparable to Peking University Tsinghua. This just shows some people who blindly worship HKU the other side of the story. 1, internationalization is virtual! First of all, I have never met a foreign teacher or a foreign student in the traditional strong department of mathematics, statistics and computer in China. Then there will be no intersection between overseas students, Hong Kong people and mainlanders. We live the life of our reading and examination library, Hong Kong people live the life of clubhouses without classes, and foreigners live the life of traveling in bars without classes. The school has never thought of using some measures to bring these three types of students together. I think they are just content with the number of international students. 2. Teaching is far from perfect. The only two small classes I have taught in Hong Kong University for three years are two compulsory English courses, and the professional courses are all big courses that nearly 100 teachers can't recognize our faces. On the other hand, in that college of arts and sciences in the United States, all my four courses in that semester were taught in small classes. There are more than 0/00 general courses and more than 0/00 public courses in Peking University (? ), the general courses of literature, history and philosophy are still very atmospheric, while HKU has only dozens of general courses, all of which are stingy and boring courses such as "Hong Kong's industrial heritage" and "Hong Kong culture is influenced by Japanese culture". Well, boredom is my personal feeling. Personally, I am really more interested in "Roman history" and "introduction to art" than the cultural history of Hong Kong where there is little accumulation. ) 3. The results of Hong Kong university students studying abroad are not better than those of Peking University and Tsinghua, and I feel that American universities actually know more about undergraduate education in North China. 4. Democracy and freedom exist, but in view of the lack of independent thinking, democracy and freedom bring only chaos. The school has long been full of local students' rejection and resistance to mainland students. The narrowness and ignorance of the region and the selective acceptance of reality are almost the same as the average level in society, which makes people wonder where this university education came from. Democracy and freedom have become tools for students who are keen to play with campus politics. They have mastered the public opinion and simply defined democracy by dichotomy: democracy is to oppose the government without thinking, and those who slightly agree with the government are brainwashed, indifferent and have no independent thinking. The student union is an organization completely independent of the school, so what is the school doing when the student union is foggy every year? I don't know. When it comes to utilitarianism, several universities in Hong Kong can only be more utilitarian than Tsinghua Peking University. My feeling during my one-year stay at Peking University is that at least Peking University has not advocated from top to bottom that "going to college is to find a job", and people who don't want to follow the rules can also have soil. On the other hand, the only entrance education for HKU freshmen is not the history of the university, not the ambition, but how to arrange their career paths. If the campus culture of Peking University is a mess of people, then HKU has no campus culture. When everyone you meet only talks about studying and looking for a job, the "self-personality" that you insist on and are proud of becomes dispensable, and finally HKU becomes a huge business school. At the graduation ceremony of the Faculty of Science, students from investment banks were invited to speak as student representatives. The only purpose of the club is to write "I have leadership!" On my resume; Art, science and business graduates are competing for investment banks and the Big Four ... that's why I don't like HKU the most. University is a deviant place, constantly trying, accepting information from all sides, and finally cultivating personality, instead of giving up personality and grinding itself into a small screw of a social machine that goes with the flow. I believe this is also the biggest gap between HKU and the world. In a word, it is "the environment and system determine the production efficiency of academic machines". In an interview with University Weekly, Yang Wei, the new president of Zhejiang University, talked about the development of the school. He said: "Take American universities as an example, they are the influencing factors of the number of papers in third-rate schools and second-rate schools. First-class schools do not require papers to be published, while top universities attach great importance to teaching. " Recently, the centennial celebration of Tsinghua was vigorous, but it caused countless curses on the Internet. We can't see that there are more and more reflections on domestic higher education in society. In my opinion, the gap between schools lies in the quality of teachers. The primary task of university teachers and professors should be teaching, and how to teach books well should be the first consideration for domestic university teachers. It's no use pouring ink into your stomach again. The quality of students. No matter how good the teacher is, no student is willing to study and research, which is impossible. Scientific research level. In addition to teaching and educating people, universities need high-level scientific research. Scientific research is not to repeat what predecessors have done, but to put forward some different ideas on the basis of studying the achievements of predecessors. Mode and concept of running a school. What is the purpose of running a school, what kind of students to train and what is the development direction often determine what kind of students it wants to train and what kind of university it will become. The gap between Tsinghua Peking University and Hongkong University can be completely enlarged to the gap between domestic universities and foreign universities. While many domestic schools shout empty slogans such as "all for the development of students", foreign schools are educating students to know how to repay the society. While teachers in some universities in China are worried about research funding, foreign teachers have started their own research in the laboratory. While some domestic professors are busy starting companies to earn extra money, foreign professors are discussing academic issues related to their majors with students. The impetuous academic atmosphere and social worship of money in China have, to a great extent, made domestic colleges and universities gradually lose their ability to teach and educate people and innovate in science and technology. They build buildings, roads and people. Try to make your appearance look more glamorous, but ignore your spiritual cultivation.
