Hello!
Hello, classmates!
I'm your senior Xiao Hu,
Let's share it with you today.
Beijing University of Technology?
materials science and engineering major
Senior/senior
Basic information

Professional direction: metal materials science and engineering
Why should I go to graduate school?
This is an era of inflated academic qualifications. In this era, it is difficult for you to study for a master's degree as you did 20 years ago, and the future is bright after graduation. Therefore, in the postgraduate entrance examination, we should use the most utilitarian and realistic angle to calculate the value and time cost, which is more important. Generally speaking, the master's degree still has obvious advantages over the undergraduate course, but the premise of all this is that you take the postgraduate entrance examination with questions and purposes, not just for the postgraduate entrance examination. Only when the master's degree is put in the right place can it play its role, instead of automatically creating value for you without thinking about studying as a graduate student.
If you can choose a better direction, who doesn't want to choose? If you can choose a computer graduate student, who wouldn't!
I am an ordinary student majoring in materials for 7 years. I also know that the computer direction is better when I take the postgraduate entrance examination. But I don't believe I can pass the cross exam. After all, I haven't studied professional courses, and I'm not the kind of person who started preparing for the cross-examination very early, so I think it's very risky. Although I know that the employment salary of materials major is not high, I still chose this one. There is no other reason, that is, conservative stability+survivor bias! In fact, you can learn about the working environment of materials employment and the danger of materials graduate students doing experiments. 202 1 Recently, there was another material explosion in China Southern Airlines. I saw similar news on 2016,5438+07. Why did I choose this postgraduate entrance examination? It is because the difficulty coefficient is low and it is easy to enter, and the survivors are biased and the explosion will not happen to me!
Metal major for 4 years: 20 15, university, a school in Hubei. During my study, I visited the traditional auto parts factory and practiced metalworking at school. This kind of ordinary workers have high work intensity and poor employment environment. The work of two undergraduate students is much harder than that of 996 in the internet industry, just like the workers with junior high school education in the workshop, but their wages are less than half of others. Although I know that the material major is not good, in order to reduce the risk, I still have no reason to take the postgraduate entrance examination of the material major conservatively, but I am stable and easy to be admitted. There is no school for materials majors.
My three-year postgraduate study: I successfully landed in Beijing University of Technology, majoring in materials science and engineering (metal materials). In the three-year material experiment, basically all kinds of dangerous reagents have been used, such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid, formaldehyde, acetone and so on. I can't help it This is true for material experiments, and so is it for students to do experiments in the whole material building. If the experiment is abnormal, the risk factor can be imagined. But I think every material person has a lucky feeling in his heart that dangerous things will not happen to us. On the contrary, the computer direction, high salary, safe and comfortable experimental environment, the difficulty coefficient of natural postgraduate entrance examination will be much greater. This is your choice. You think you're super capable. If you have passed the exam, there is no problem. If you are like me, your ability is average. For the master, it is very difficult to take the postgraduate entrance examination.
Finally, talk about the work of material specialty. We are a material major, the jobs we can choose are far less than computers, and the salary is half that of others! At this time, material people should never comfort themselves by saying that it doesn't matter. Now their salary is half that of others, and in three to five years, their salary will double. But if you double it, won't others double it? After two or three years of computer work, the salary is directly the ceiling of the material direction. Maybe you won't reach this in ten years. Therefore, materials graduate students must have a clear thinking when looking for a job. If you knock on the door of a small company with a graduate degree, you will definitely not get into a big company, so change to a small company. For example, in the semiconductor industry, which is very popular recently, you can choose an easy-to-enter Fab factory as a process engineer and then switch to chip design (IC design engineer).

Overall review planning?
The review of specialized courses can be divided into basic training (July-65438+1early October), simulation training+actual combat (65438+1late October-65438+1early October) and review (165438) Basic training stage: focus on mastering book knowledge, comprehensively and systematically review the scope of textbook examination, sort out the knowledge framework, review exercises, master the key points of answering questions, sort out notes (sort out various types of questions), and memorize basic concepts and pictures. Simulation training+actual combat stage: strengthen concept memory, strengthen understanding memory, and practice exercises repeatedly, especially the problems that are easy to make mistakes in the first round of review, so as to ensure that you can get high marks in the foundation of materials science, such as phase diagram and calculation. When conducting simulation training, you must be able to complete key exercises independently. When practicing real questions, you must simulate the atmosphere of the examination room and close the book on time. Review: organize knowledge points, systematically review all knowledge points, concentrate on solving the problem of reciting test sites, especially pictures, complete the final prediction model test, check for missing parts, adjust mentality and meet the exam.
Some suggestions on reviewing the timeline?
7- 10 month to lay the foundation: July-September is the golden period for preparing for the exam, and there is no interference from school courses and other things in these two months. All the time belongs to you, which is especially important for the first round of review. It determines whether you can improve qualitatively before school starts, so you must calm down and review your books. If you don't have very strong self-control, I suggest you stay in school during this time, review with your research friends regularly, and be sure to follow the guidance and arrangement of professional teachers.
10-165438+10 month: in these two months, you must go through the real questions and the simulated questions, and feel the matching degree between yourself and the target institutions in the process of brushing the questions, so as to thoroughly understand the real questions of the target institutions in recent years. And do more intensive lectures on real problems in different schools. At the same time, before studying every day, we must make a good review plan, time allocation and so on.
11-65438+February: It is recommended to review the wrong questions+check for missing parts, adjust the mentality+work and rest. At this stage, it is not appropriate to brush more questions, but we must go deep and review more wrong questions, and we must thoroughly understand them.
Suggestions on preparing lessons for public and professional courses
politics
I watched the intensive class in Xu Tao from August to June, 65438+ 10, and used Xiao Xiurong's summary of knowledge points, but I didn't think the effect was so good. I still suggest using the matching core exam cases. Later, I listened to Xu Tao's brush class, and then eight sets of papers came, so I wrote eight sets of multiple-choice questions. Xiao Si arrived in June+February, 5438. Since then, I only recite Xiao Si's big questions every day. Later, students recited big questions according to the key points of Xiao Lao's paintings. Because I really know that my foundation is not solid, I have memorized all four sets. I recited Xiao Si not to recite the original question, but to have something to say in the examination room. Therefore, it is very useful to suggest memorizing more.
English
2. 1 word book
He Kaiwen Core Word 1575 (recommended)
Love to practice words (not recommended), the logic of words (not recommended), and the core 5500 words issued by Yellow Book (highly recommended by super invincible).
Reciting words principle
Don't stop talking Every morning at 7:30-8:30( 1 1), I began to recite my composition, but when I arrived at 1, I found the words were very vague. Although those difficult words are memorized after learning the real questions, the fact is that I don't know the meaning of many short words in 1, which also brings great trouble to the understanding of the article. So I quickly brushed the core 5500 words to help, so please don't stop! )
2.2 Grammar knowledge
Although I don't like He's lecture style, considering the sentence research, Tang Chi's video of long and difficult sentences, He is the best choice for long and difficult sentences, and the speaking method is really good.
2.3 reading
Listen to Tang Chi's class. Teacher Tang Chi's video class, the most important thing is to tell us what reading comprehension for postgraduate entrance examination is and how to do it, help us understand what reading comprehension is, and let us know clearly how to do it. ?
2.4 composition
Backing the template is not recommended. I have memorized Wang Jiangtao's high-scoring compositions, including 10 big composition and 10 small composition. I assembled it myself in the examination room, and I think the effect is better, because the template is not omnipotent after all, and the time to recite the template is not as good as the time to recite the model essay!
2.5 Translation
Without attending class, learning difficult sentences well, plus the accumulation of real reading, translation is not a problem. ?
mathematics
1. 1 Advanced Mathematics
Tang Jiafeng+Zhang Yu
The foundation is the most important. I listened to Tang Jiafeng's basic class. I hope you don't drive at two speeds when you listen for the first time, take notes and digest them well, and don't worry. Every night from April to June, I only listened to a basic class of Mr. Tang, and I haven't started to do the problem yet, because the classroom content is really enough to fill the study time. After laying the foundation stone with Mr. Tang in June, he began to practice seclusion with Mr. Zhang Yu. I also think this is the best choice, because I also think that Zhang Yu pays attention to all kinds of problem-solving skills and rarely involves basic knowledge, so if there is no stage of laying the foundation, the earth will shake. The exercise book recommends Mr. Tang's 1800.
1.2 linear algebra
Li Yongle
I watched Mr. Li's basic course in early July, but the introduction to linear algebra was really abstract, and I was still at a loss after reading the basic course twice. Later, at the end of July, Grandpa Li's intensive class meeting began to be updated to catch up with more intensive classes, which was hard to understand. Linear algebra is really a subject that needs rote memorization. Except for the first time, I began to listen to the intensive class three times at double speed, but every time I found something I didn't hear. So please pay attention to Li Lao's courses and don't question him. It turns out that Li Lao's linear algebra course is also the best handout. But the most important thing in linear algebra is to do more problems, and do more problems than listen to lectures. But what I mean by attending classes is to remember the knowledge points that Li Lao said, not to attend classes on the surface. Do more questions, do more questions, do more questions. Unlike Shu Gao, line generation does exercises to remember knowledge, and line generation is inseparable from ancestors, while Shu Gao does exercises to see various exercises. 660 questions recommended by Li Yongle.
Professional courses
Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will appear.
What is important in specialized courses is the teaching materials, and what is important is how to learn the teaching materials. Generally speaking, I have read the textbook three times. The first time is to be familiar with knowledge and know what the textbook is about. When reading, you must take notes in the margin of the book. Don't worry about forgetting, because you will definitely forget, so forget it and continue reading later. In the process of reading, you will find that there are previous knowledge points. This method shows that you have learned to contact and learn, and that you have not forgotten. At this time, write down your own opinions in the blank space. The second time is wrong, because it is definitely wrong to look at your own opinions the first time. At this time, I will see where I am wrong. This knowledge will be well remembered. The second time was following the course "Materials Science and Foundation" by Hu Gengxiang, which covered a wide range. We don't need to know many formulas, but we might as well learn them, which is also very helpful for memory. The third step is to read in series, find the connection, systematize the knowledge, and check for missing parts. At this stage, I read it with a summary of knowledge points. At this time, the notes in the book are the first, the textbooks are the second, and the summary of knowledge is the direction. Remember that I will start to find the key points at this stage. At the same time, it is very important to find a notebook, summarize, draw a mind map and build a framework during reading, so that knowledge will be closely linked. 165438+ 10-65438+February, the real questions, simulation questions and exercise books were brushed twice. In the process of brushing the questions, you will find that there is a lot of knowledge in this workbook that is not available in books. Moreover, this knowledge also has many key points. There are many examination questions in the real questions over the years, which are similar to those in this exercise book. This exercise book is really difficult. I can't write it the first time. I just write a question and answer the first time. After reading the answer, I will write it myself, not copy it. This process is the process of learning problem-solving methods. After the second independent writing, the questions that can't be marked, and the marked questions are written again for the third time, and the book is perfect. Many big questions can be found in almost all exercise books except the basic knowledge of textbooks. Be sure to pay attention to the content of the second interview. For example, strengthening the mechanism has been tested for many years, and the default is basically a compulsory question. Judging from the feeling of doing problems, HKUST pays special attention to basic investigation, so it mainly focuses on textbooks and exercise books.
The above is my learning experience. I wish all the students all the best and a successful landing!
Other suggestions
1.？ Information collection:
1. 1? China Postgraduate Enrollment Information Network (R&D Network) mainly provides postgraduate online registration and adjustment, professional directory inquiry, online consultation, college information, application guide and exam counseling and other services and information guidance. The website has comprehensive information, which is one of the important channels for each graduate student to query all kinds of graduate information.
1.2? When a target college enrolls students in official website or graduate school, it usually publishes all kinds of important information about graduate enrollment in official website, including enrollment brochures, professional catalogues, historical materials, enrollment announcements, contact information of colleges and universities, etc. ?
2. Mentality adjustment:
2. 1 positive psychological suggestion: affirm your previous efforts, and your efforts will always pay off.
2.2 Moderate physical exercise: Relieve the study pressure and improve the study efficiency.
2.3 Learn to choose: in the case of insufficient review time, give priority to the review with high scores and easy sub-topics.
3.？ Learning skills
Make a phased plan. The first thing you have to do is to disassemble and quantify your goals. Before you start reviewing, you should have an idea from overall grasp to gradual refinement: what tasks should I prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination? My task is public courses and professional courses, so what review materials should I look at in public courses? What review materials should I look at in specialized courses? List them on paper one by one. This is the process of quantifying your goals. After the content of postgraduate review is quantified, it should be arranged reasonably. Generally speaking, we can plan about 3-4 rounds of review time. Generally, the time period of each round is getting shorter and shorter, that is, the back is getting faster and faster, because your book is getting thinner and thinner.
