Only one year after returning to China, Yang Xingjun has made great achievements in scientific research and teaching. Yang Xingjun published three SSCI and 1 SCI papers in two major fields: transportation economics and operation management. In addition to undertaking the humanities and social sciences projects of the Ministry of Education, I also participated in the projects entrusted by the Ministry of Commerce. Talking about such a busy life, he said: "I thought it would be easier to return to China to teach, but I didn't expect it to be more difficult than going abroad to study for a doctorate!" In this year, I only took time to go home during the Spring Festival and summer vacation, and I usually had no time at all. "
Most returned teachers are mainly academic research, while Yang Xingjun is teaching and scientific research. His department of international transportation and logistics has few teachers, so he undertakes many courses. In the first year of teaching, he took four courses in succession.
Pay attention to targeted education
Students at different levels need different teaching concepts, especially in-service graduate students and international students, which makes Yang Hangjun deeply touched. "It's a great pressure to give a class to in-service graduate students for the first time. Because many of the listeners I face are professionals with more than 5 years of work experience, giving them classes is an interactive and mutual learning process. " Being exposed to students of different levels has also greatly enriched Yang Hangjun's experience. "International students' learning motivation is relatively simple, and the biggest problem they face is language. Many foreign students are not fluent in Chinese and English, so I will try my best to slow down in class and give them time to digest knowledge. "Some foreign students come to China to learn about China culture and explore the China market for their enterprises. Based on their special requirements, Yang Xingjun also specially arranged practical projects in the classroom. " For example, I will ask them to pay attention to the passenger flow of a store and make records, so as to analyze the passenger flow and the operation of the whole store and put forward suggestions for improvement. "
Yang Xingjun, who once taught in Canada, said that the principle of his class is not to be too humble to the students and ask them to do their best to complete the course. Studying in a foreign university is "lenient entry and strict exit", while studying in a domestic university is often "strict entry and lenient exit". It is this situation that makes Yang Hangjun hope to change some attitudes and views of domestic college students through his own teaching practice, and his teaching style has also been recognized by many students.
