[Edit this paragraph] University History After 100 years of development and changes, the University of Toronto has become a comprehensive university with the largest scale, the most disciplines, strong faculty and advanced equipment in Canada. There are more than 55,000 registered students. Among them, there are 8000 graduate students. More than 3,700 students with foreign passports come from 100 countries and regions in the world. There are also 12000 part-time students. There are more than 3,700 full-time teachers, including professors 1.080, associate professors 878, assistant professors 430 and lecturers 337. Administrative staff, laboratory staff, secretaries, computer experts, school police and various handyman, 4000 people. The school covers an area of 26,000 square kilometers. There are 225 buildings of all kinds. Ranked above Yale, Harvard, Oxford and Cambridge every year. The University of Toronto has three campuses. One is St. George's College, which covers an area of 0.55 square kilometers and is called the headquarters. The other two are scarborough Campus and Ajade Campus, with areas of 1.265, 438+0 and 0.84 square kilometers respectively. They are located in the East and West Primary Schools of the University of Toronto, 33 kilometers away from St. George's College. During the daily shuttle bus, the traffic is extremely convenient. The University of Toronto is one of the largest cities in Canada with a population of 2 million. She is close to Anda Lake, one of the five great lakes in North America, and faces Chicago and Detroit in the United States. The transportation is developed, and there are daily flights to new york, London, Frankfurt and the world metropolises in South America. Roads and railways extend in all directions. With prosperous economy and developed commerce, it is the largest economic and cultural center in Canada. It is also one of the most active tourist attractions in Canada. Generally, the University of Toronto usually refers to St. George's headquarters, which is located in the center of Toronto. As soon as you step into the campus, you will be swallowed up by an ancient and energetic university style. The whole campus atmosphere is harmonious, elegant and quiet, which makes people feel happy. Ancient Victorian architecture and modern reinforced concrete architecture are row upon row, which set each other off. Sculptures, tree-lined streets, flower beds everywhere, green as a carpet. There are few cars in the center of the campus and the city is noisy, which makes people forget that they are one of the most active metropolises in the world. University of Toronto has always been good at arts and sciences. Since the 1960s, the research of applied science has been catching up. For example, applied science and 22 large-scale applied science research projects have been applied to the Canadian federal government and the Ontario government. After the successful study, a plan to change Canada's energy structure will be put forward. In order to apply university research results to production and social practice as soon as possible, the University of Toronto established the "Invention Foundation" on 1980. It introduces the technical inventions and ideas of the school to the society and industry, and then extracts a certain proportion of shares from enterprises that have obtained business licenses or business licenses by using these achievements, and then uses these shares to fund the scientific research of the school. In 198 1- 1982, the income was as high as 73 million Canadian dollars, and 209 1 research projects were funded. At present, the University of Toronto has more than 20 interdisciplinary research institutes or research centers, mainly engaged in the research and development of marginal disciplines. They are not only complete and self-contained from equipment to personnel, but also have autonomy in subject selection, personnel employment and fund use. The school encourages old majors to strengthen their traditional advantages, but at the same time, they should not break the field of innovation and study new disciplines. Only in this way can we be at the forefront of scientific and technological development. For example, computer manufacturing and computer-aided design of machinery have been on the research agenda since there were computers in the world. Now it is very influential to train doctoral students and master students in this field every year in Canada. At the University of Toronto, a year is divided into two semesters. Winter semester and summer semester. The winter term begins in early September and ends in mid-May of the following year. The summer term begins in mid-May and ends at the end of August. The winter semester is divided into two short semesters: autumn and spring. The autumn term is from the beginning of September to the end of 65438+February, the spring term is from the beginning of 65438+ 10 to the end of mid-May, and each term ranges from 16 to 18 weeks. The normal teaching plan is arranged in the winter semester, and a winter semester is equivalent to a school year in China. Courses in the summer semester study plan. The first few weeks of each short term are probation. Students can listen to opinions extensively during the probation period. Then, choose and register your own study courses according to the teaching plan. Only courses registered by a special person and approved by the college are counted as credits. The final score of a course is based on the 100-point system, which consists of three parts: the usual homework and the test results of the final exam. The final grade usually only accounts for 25-35%. In this way, if you want to get good grades, you should go all out to do every homework and deal with every exam from the day you choose the course. In order to evaluate the "quality" of students' grades, the University of Toronto divides "100" into six grades: A, B, C, D, E and F. A score below D (50) means failing, and the courses that fail must be retaken, and there is no chance to make up the exam. However, the evaluation of a student's grades and whether he can get a degree depends not only on whether he has completed the teaching plan, but also on his comprehensive grades. University of Toronto has two methods to evaluate students' comprehensive scores, one is called grade point system, and the other is called compound system. Although the two methods are slightly different in practice, the purpose is the same: to cultivate students with strong academic ability. Students don't have to use their strength equally to cope with further studies. They can spend more time on the courses or fields they are interested in, study deeply and get high marks, and only require credits for general courses. The teaching management system of the University of Toronto has many forms, such as liberal arts college and credit elective system, college of applied science and engineering, college of architecture and environmental beautification, and college of medicine and dentistry. In the credit system and academic year system, medical and dental colleges and other forms. Under the management system of credit system, each degree teaching plan stipulates the total credits of the course. In order to ensure that students have a wide range of knowledge and a solid foundation, students are usually required to choose a certain number of credit courses from different disciplines. Learning to choose courses is different in students' intelligence and foundation, and students have greater freedom in choosing courses, so that students can obtain different knowledge structures and easily form interdisciplinary and marginal subjects. However, the talent training plan is poor and the success rate is relatively low. The academic year teaching plan is based on the academic year, and there are a few interdisciplinary elective courses in each period, with the least degree of freedom in course selection. This may be the reason why students who enter the School of Dentistry of Medical College receive 1-2 years of "general education" in the College of Arts and Sciences. The academic year system and the academic year credit system are more planned and closely integrated with the development of the national economy. Each stage of learning has specific requirements and regulations, and the success rate is high. No matter what kind of teaching management system, students of the University of Toronto receive a wide range of humanities and social education. The students not only have professional knowledge, but also have high cultural literacy. The University of Toronto has a supercomputer that is outstanding even in North America, as well as dozens of other large and medium-sized computers and hundreds of terminals. In addition to university computer centers, many colleges have their own computer centers. These computers can use data, information and software from Toronto or North America. The university has an audio-visual education center to provide services for teaching and scientific research, including renting personnel and equipment, arranging audio-visual education equipment at the venue, making and copying audio-visual education materials such as vehicles, movies and tapes, and training in the use of audio-visual education equipment. The University of Toronto is the largest library in Canada, with more than 5 million books. Campus life facilities are complete, with more than one student social dormitory 10, which can accommodate nearly 3,000 students. There are dozens of restaurants and bars, as well as post offices, university bookstores, theaters, gymnasiums and concert halls. The University of Toronto also has some well-known affiliated institutions, such as the Royal Conservatory of Music, which enjoys a high reputation in Canada, Frederick Harris Music Company, which publishes music records and tapes, and the University of Toronto Press, Printing House and University Observatory, which publish high-level academic works. According to the ranking of Maclean magazine in Canada, the University of Toronto was rated as the number one university in Canada this year. This is the eighth consecutive year that the University of Toronto has won this honor. There are 15 universities in Canada offering bachelor's degree, master's degree, doctor's degree and medical degree. The University of Toronto has been among the best in this category since 1994. Founded in 1827, the University of Toronto is one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in North America, ranking 9th among all public universities in the world (according to Newsweek in 2006). The library of the University of Toronto ranks third among the top universities in North America, slightly lower than Harvard and Yale. After 100 years of development, the University of Toronto has become "if I call it the second, no one dares to call it the first" in Canada. Everything in the university is first-class from aerospace technology to zoology. The number of professors who won the Nobel Prize is also the largest in Canada. The University of Toronto is located in Toronto, Canada's largest city. The university has 3 campuses, 300 undergraduate majors and 32 libraries. When you stroll through the leafy campus and walk through the century-old buildings, even in the huge Roberds Research Library, you can feel the other side of the University of Toronto: it leaves enough space for every student to study and explore. The University of Toronto consists of three colleges, located in downtown Toronto and its adjacent areas. There are 54,000 students, including 30,484 undergraduates, more than 6,000 international students and 6,000 teachers. A giant university like Toronto can provide a rich curriculum plan in almost every conceivable professional field. From aviation engineering to zoology, from art education to Ukrainian studies, from architecture to psychiatry, thousands of courses are offered to students. The College of Arts and Sciences alone offers more than 2,000 courses.
