Self-study ability must be cultivated during college. Many students always complain that teachers don't teach well, don't know much, and the school curriculum is unreasonable. College students should not just follow the footsteps of teachers, but take the initiative to walk in front of them. The best way to learn is to make clear the relevant problems in the textbook before the teacher gives a lecture, and then make up for the lack of understanding and understanding by comparing the teacher's explanations in class.
Middle school students are more in pursuit of "remembering" knowledge when learning knowledge, while college students should ask themselves to "understand" knowledge and be good at asking questions. Ask more "why" for every knowledge point. In fact, many problems have different ideas or angles. When learning knowledge or solving problems, don't always stick to a mode of thinking, and don't make yourself a slave to textbooks or experience. Only in this way can students' potential thinking ability, creativity and learning ability be really stimulated.
We should make full use of libraries and the Internet to cultivate the ability of autonomous learning and research. First of all, college students must learn to consult books and documents in order to get in touch with a wider range of knowledge and research results. When reading, read as many original English textbooks as possible. Secondly, in addition to books, the Internet is also a huge resource pool, and college students can use search engines to find all kinds of information online.
When you teach yourself, don't be complacent just because you have met the requirements of the school. 2 1 century talents has become an international concept. When you are satisfied with your grades, it is suggested that you go to some world-class universities to start self-study courses. For example, try MIT's open courses on the Internet. When you can master these courses freely, you will be more confident to face the challenges of internationalization.
The second study: basic knowledge
During college, you must learn basic knowledge (mathematics, English, the use of computers and the Internet, as well as basic courses required by this major, such as financial courses in business schools). Many seemingly advanced technologies in the application field will be replaced by new technologies or tools in a few years, and only the study of basic knowledge can benefit for life. Without a good foundation, it is difficult for college students to truly understand advanced applied technology. In many universities in China, professors have more teaching experience in basic courses than in the latest technology.
Mathematics is an indispensable foundation for science and engineering students. Many students think that mathematics is the most difficult thing to learn in high school. Once you find that your major has low requirements for mathematics, you will completely relax your study of mathematics knowledge, and you will not see any practical application or employment prospects of mathematics knowledge. But don't forget that most knowledge systems of science and engineering majors are based on mathematics. At the same time, mathematics is also the crystallization of wisdom accumulated by human beings for thousands of years. Learning mathematics knowledge can cultivate and train people's thinking ability. Learning mathematics can not be limited to taking relevant courses, but to master the methods of cognition and thinking from the process of learning mathematics.
The fundamental purpose of learning English is to master an important learning and communication tool. In the next few decades, the world's most comprehensive news content, the most advanced ideas and the most profound technology, as well as the interaction between most intellectuals, will be conducted in English.
The important learning method is to combine with practice as much as possible, and we can't just "learn" without "using", let alone learn English by reciting. When reading, try to read the original professional textbooks and read some professional papers that you are interested in. The best way to improve English listening and speaking ability is to talk directly with foreigners whose mother tongue is English. Besides, don't take learning English as a chore, you can learn English in an interesting way. For example, you can watch more speeches, novels, plays and even cartoons. Beginners can find the original English teaching programs and videos to learn, and those who have a certain foundation can watch English TV or movies. Listening to English radio is also a good way to practice English listening. There are also many interactive English learning websites on the Internet, where you can improve your English through games, self-test and bilingual reading.
The third study: through practice
There is a proverb about spiritual practice: "What you hear will be forgotten, what you see will be remembered, and what you do will be truly understood." In universities, students should know how to combine knowledge, theories and methods of various disciplines with concrete practice and application, especially engineering students.
No matter what major or course you study, if you can practice hard and master it, you can understand the knowledge system more deeply and remember what you have learned firmly. Therefore, it is suggested that students choose more professional courses related to practice. In practice, it is best for several students to cooperate, so that we can not only understand professional knowledge through practice, but also learn how to cooperate with others and cultivate team spirit. If you have the opportunity to do some practical projects under the teacher, or go out to work, as long as it does not affect your studies, these practices are worth encouraging. When you go out to work or do projects, don't just focus on salary (unless you really have difficulties in life). Sometimes even if the salary is not satisfactory, there are many opportunities for exercise and practice, which is worth a try.
The fourth study: cultivate interest
First of all, we should objectively evaluate and find our own interests: don't take what is recognized and valued by society, family or friends as our hobbies; Don't think that the interesting thing is your own interest, but your own experience and judgment with your own mind; Don't think that what you are interested in can become your career, but you can try to find the best combination of talent and interest.
In addition to "choosing what you love", you might as well try "loving what you choose" in college. It may not be easy to change majors, so we should try our best to learn this major well first and gradually cultivate our interest in it in the process of learning. In addition, there may be many different fields in a major, and you may be interested in a certain field in the major. Nowadays, many majors have developed interdisciplinary subjects, and the combination of the two majors is often a new growth point. On the other hand, even if you want to engage in other industries after graduation, you can still study your major well, which can also become the advantage of new industries.
Fifth learning: initiative
The first step to be proactive is to have a positive attitude.
The second step of being proactive is to take responsibility for everything and face life bravely. Don't just shelve uncertain or difficult things. However, it must be recognized that not solving is also solving, and not making a decision is also a decision. Such solutions and decisions will exhaust the opportunities before us. This passive and timid style will pay the price one day.
The third step of being proactive is to be fully prepared: do everything with your heart and do your best, and don't wait for opportunities; We should create opportunities and seize them. We should make full preparations and seize the opportunity when it comes.
The fourth step is to actively "start from the beginning to the end" and actively plan the university for four years. Any planning will be the end of one stage and the starting point of the next. Ambition and interest will provide direction and motivation. As long as you carefully formulate, manage, evaluate and adjust your life plan, you will get closer and closer to your goal.
The sixth study: controlling time
Four years in college is the easiest period to get lost. College students must have self-control, make some good friends, learn some good habits, and don't indulge in bad habits (such as online games).
A classmate said: "Compared with high school, the difference is that the university spends a lot more time surfing the Internet and sleeping, and the pressure is much less." The student doesn't understand that "much more time" is the great difference between college and high school. If you have more time, you need to arrange, plan and manage your own time.
Arranging time does not mean making a timetable. The book Seven Habits of Highly Effective People points out that the difference between "important things" and "urgent things" is one of the biggest reasons why people waste time. Because people's inertia is to do the most urgent thing first, but doing so will lead to some important things being abandoned. Therefore, a good way to manage time every day is to determine the urgent and important things to do today in the morning and review them before going to bed to see if the day has achieved a balance between the two.
It is unrealistic to want to do everything best. It is suggested to separate "what must be done" from "what should be done as much as possible". It is suggested to accept those things that cannot be changed temporarily with a good attitude and broad mind, and pay more attention to those things that can be changed.
Lesson 7: Be a man.
In the future, people's ability to get along with others in society and work will become more and more important, even exceeding the work itself. Therefore, college students should seize the opportunity to cultivate their communication awareness and team spirit.
Suggestions on how to improve interpersonal skills during college are:
First, treat others with sincerity, blame yourself with the heart of blaming others, and forgive others with the heart of forgiving yourself. Be sincere and tolerant of others and criticize yourself. Treat others as you treat others. It's like looking in the mirror. Your own expression and attitude can be seen from other people's expressions and attitudes. The most sincere friendship and the most difficult hatred are gradually caused by this "reflection" principle.
Second, cultivate true friendship. If we can achieve the first point, many college friends will become lifelong bosom friends. On the road of studying together and seeking self-development, such friendship is precious. When making friends, don't just make friends with people with similar temperament, or just make friends with people with similar temperament. There are many kinds of good friends: optimistic friends, wise friends, practical friends, humorous friends, enterprising friends, friends who improve their abilities, friends who help themselves understand themselves, friends who tell the truth, and so on.
Third, learn team spirit and communication skills. The community is a micro-community, and participating in it is the best training before entering the society. In the community, we can cultivate teamwork and leadership, and also give full play to our professional expertise. But more importantly, you should be a sincere server and volunteer, or take the initiative to play the role of a bridge between classmates and teachers when you are a student and exercise your communication skills. Seize the opportunity of learning interpersonal communication in universities, because interpersonal communication in university associations is a kind of learning without "paying tuition fees", and you can start all over again if you make mistakes.
Fourth, learn from the people around you. In classes and clubs, observe more students around you, especially those who feel that their communication skills are particularly strong, and see how they get along with others.
Fifth, improve self-cultivation and personality charm. If you feel that your lack of professional knowledge and hobbies may become an obstacle to improving your interpersonal skills, then you can consciously choose and cultivate some hobbies. * * * The same hobbies are also one of the ways to build deep feelings with friends. If you really don't have any hobbies, read more good books to enrich your knowledge and improve your interpersonal skills, because nothing can better reflect a person's personality charm than wisdom and erudition.
