Second, learn to think: biology is an experimental science, and reductionist thinking philosophy is a very important basic research idea. That is to say, the finer an organism is divided, the more it understands some mechanisms, and the detailed information of each part can explain the characteristics of the whole. Corresponding to this is holistic thinking, which is a very important thought in eastern philosophy. Some people say that China didn't produce modern science because of oriental holism. In today's increasingly detailed disciplines, holistic thinking is very important and worthy of attention. For example, there are more and more information in biological genomics today, but it is difficult to analyze these fragmented genomic information completely without comprehensive analysis of these information from the whole and biological functions. So, what aspects should we consider more? Issues related to human health, national economy and people's livelihood are all important scientific issues, and understanding and thinking about these issues is very beneficial to their own development.
Third, learn to take notes: taking notes is a very important learning content. How to learn how to take notes in class? What is recorded? Generally speaking, important concepts and information need to be recorded, and important information that is not in textbooks needs to be recorded ... so how do you know if it is important or not? How do I know if there is one in the textbook? Listen to the tone and emphasis of the teacher's lecture and preview the relevant content in the textbook ... There are many ways and means, as long as you have the heart. Nowadays, teachers use PPT in teaching, which has advantages and disadvantages in the information age. A teacher who prepares lessons carefully, PPT may be very logical and concise, just as easy to record as the teacher's blackboard writing before. The key is to take notes and not be lazy. But taking notes is important, interesting and new information, and the purpose of recording is to master it better, so taking notes is based on listening carefully. If you don't concentrate in class, you can't make good class notes. Some students don't listen carefully, and copying other students' notes after class is a waste of time. You can't take notes in the exam, you should review the textbook in the exam. College students should take mastering basic knowledge, cultivating interest and training thinking ability as their main goals, but don't fall into that poor score again!
Fourth, learn to read: read with interest and plan. Don't read dead books. The purpose of reading is to improve, develop and enrich oneself. College students should not be limited to the content of textbooks they have learned, but should read more relevant extracurricular books. Think more about the issues you are interested in and consult more materials. Spend more time in the library and read more new books. In the era of information explosion, new professional books are overwhelming. You should consult teachers more and make full use of network resources. But: don't be captured by the internet. If you are trapped in the network, you will lose more than you gain. If possible, I suggest reading some original works early. English is the "standard" language of natural science today, and being able to read original works or documents is a very important ability.
Learn to listen to reports: First, cultivate the habit of listening to academic reports. There will be many academic activities and lectures in the university. If you have time, you should take the initiative to join them and don't miss these opportunities. Listening to expert reports is different from listening to teachers in class, and the information obtained is different. Academic reports are often very new achievements and discoveries, and some may be very cutting-edge subject information. This knowledge is undoubtedly valuable to your knowledge structure, and may even affect your choice of major direction. Listen to the report if you like.
Learn to communicate with teachers: the significance and importance of communication in life need not be said. College students should learn to communicate with teachers and form the habit of loving communication. There should be teaching assistants in the university, right? There should be course counseling, right? There should be a class question and answer, right? There should be homework. Take advantage of these opportunities to ask the teacher more. Why don't teachers ask themselves what they are interested in, what they don't know and what they don't know? Teachers have this responsibility and obligation, so they can ask at will.
Seven, into the laboratory: if there is an opportunity, it is recommended to enter the laboratory of some teachers who do research. It would be best if they could help. It is very important for students who are determined to take the road of scientific research to know what scientific research is about as early as possible. It is also very helpful to understand and master the knowledge in textbooks. Conditional schools, students should take the initiative to put forward this requirement.
Reading Darwin: Evolution is the greatest and most common theory in biology. To study biology, it is suggested that we must pay attention to the study of evolutionary biology. If the school is closed, study by yourself. This course is very important, and evolutionary thought is very important for understanding and explaining biological phenomena, which can not be ignored. Some scholars say that everything in biology is incomprehensible if we don't analyze the problem from the perspective of evolution. Evolution is the greatest theory in biology today. We should understand it and master it.
Nine, the classic disciplines can not be ignored: the branches of modern biology are becoming more and more detailed, and new disciplines are constantly emerging. Therefore, some old disciplines are gradually being "ignored", but some knowledge can not be ignored, and we still need to master or understand some, such as classical taxonomy, anatomy, animal geography and so on. This knowledge is very important to the personal knowledge structure, otherwise we don't even know the species, even the distribution area of animals and plants. How do we understand such beautiful biodiversity today? How to explain the colorful biological world? Find your own teaching materials and teach yourself. It is very important to study and master the knowledge of macro-biology and micro-biology in a balanced way.
10. Learn basic courses well: For students majoring in biology, some basic courses are essential, such as physiology, cytology, genetics, developmental biology and biochemistry. Whether the school offers these courses or not, they must try their best to master their studies. The knowledge of these courses is very important for the development of students studying biology. At the same time, these courses are also the important foundation of popular molecular biology, genomics, neurobiology, bioinformatics and so on. Other basic courses, such as advanced mathematics, college physics, chemistry, etc. It is also very important for interdisciplinary, and we should also pay attention to it.
1 1. Keep curious: keep curious and learn new knowledge in time. For example, the annual Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, the annual major news and discoveries in the field of biology, etc. We should study more. The biological progress and related news on the science network are good information resources. Some important popular science magazines, such as Scientific American, Newton and National Geographic, have relatively novel and authoritative new knowledge introductions. Read more if you can.
12. Ability training is the key: what you learned in college is the ability to master knowledge. College students should learn to read, think, analyze and find problems. Don't take an exam for the sake of it. Take ability training, interest training and professional quality training as one of their important goals. These aspects are lifelong courses for scientists. It should be clear that a person's habits and behaviors when he is young have an important influence on his later habits and behaviors. Good habits and behaviors will help you succeed; Bad habits and behaviors will seriously hinder your development. Strengthen the cultivation of ability and the shaping of self-restraint quality.
University life is very beautiful and desirable. The development responsibility of college students is great, which is related to the future and hope of a country. Can college students shoulder this responsibility if they don't cherish this opportunity? Always thinking about cheating and copying and taking shortcuts?
I really can't stop anyway. Rory has no theme or logic.
You must form good habits and regulate your behavior in the first year of college, which will determine whether your four-year college life is brilliant and perfect. A good beginning is half the battle. Attitude is everything.
I hope that college students will be self-respecting, self-reliant and self-loving, and be a qualified college student, a vigorous college student and an enviable and respectable college student!
I don't know the situation of the university now, so this article is a typical "personal feeling". There are college students at home, and I also want to listen to the advice of college experts!
