Students must pay attention to check the school notice email. For some schools, emails are sent very frequently, and there is even a time limit for what is required to be completed in some emails. Therefore, it is very important to provide schools with safe, effective and convenient mailboxes at the application stage. At the same time, it is necessary to get into the habit of checking the mailbox regularly, especially in the later period, and it is necessary to check the mailbox once or even many times a day.
Many students think that everything will be fine if they get the admission notice. Wu Di reminded that it is very important to plan the time before entering school.

Yang Jiawei, the guest speaker, talked about American classroom culture in particular, hoping to attract students' attention. He said that students should not think that they can understand the professor's class. Professors rarely test "what did you learn", but "how did you learn to learn". Students should change their way of thinking, from obedience and acceptance to criticism, questioning and creation.
