In fact, there is a serious information asymmetry problem about how to choose teachers. Students know almost nothing about the teacher's laboratory, and can only see the official enrollment information.
But I didn't know that many of these materials were written casually by teachers. The research direction it writes may have nothing to do with what you do after you go in. The teacher who took you may not be the teacher you signed up for. Under the enrollment mode of Beihou University, these situations may occur. These must be asked in advance.
There are several ways to query:
If you don't know the seniors, there is a way: go to the forum to search for the enrollment posts of insurance research, postgraduate entrance examination and retest in previous years, and there will usually be groups inside. When you join the group, you can find these seniors and sisters privately to understand the situation.
Go directly to the lab and ask. Don't be embarrassed to ask, just go to a lab and ask a senior or a senior. I am sorry to keep you waiting at the door. You can ask when someone will come out, or you can choose evening or weekend when there are few people, so it is more convenient to chat.
Tutor evaluation network. Generally, the kind of laboratories or tutors that are very pitted are written here, so just rule them out directly.
Zhihu, Beijing Post People's Forum. You can post questions, but many seniors are not convenient to reply to you directly. After all, teachers also read forums. This is to find a way to talk to them privately. You can also find them in various recruitment positions and see their replies. Several of them are obviously from this laboratory, so you can ask them questions in private.
It should be noted that you can't believe all the contents in the admissions post. Teachers have a high probability of asking students to post posts, which are generally in a good direction, and the bad places are avoided, which can only be said to be for reference only.
Go to work in the laboratory in advance. In fact, whether you are a graduate student or a graduate student, I suggest that you start to get in touch with teachers and practice in the laboratory in your junior year, because this is also a way to get information. After entering the laboratory, you will naturally get acquainted with your seniors and sisters, and it will be easier to find out the situation of the laboratory and avoid pits.
Moreover, many good laboratories have fierce competition, so it is more advantageous to practice in advance. Even students who take the postgraduate entrance examination can write their internship experience in their resumes, at least the resumes look better.
