First, about the choice of schools and majors.
For the choice of postgraduate schools, the most important factors to consider are professional ranking, geographical location, and whether it belongs to 985/2 1 1/ double-class. The order of consideration of these factors is as follows: If you are interested in scientific research and want to make achievements in this major, it is recommended to consider the professional ranking first, which can be found on the website of "Best Discipline Ranking in China"; For other students, the purpose of postgraduate entrance examination is to obtain higher academic qualifications, so it is necessary to focus on whether there are enough employment opportunities in the geographical location of the school and whether the school belongs to 985/2 1 1. Therefore, Jiangnan University, located in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, is a relatively developed city, and Jiangsu Province attaches great importance to talents, and graduate students' graduation subsidies are also relatively generous. In addition, Wuxi is close to Shanghai, so there will be opportunities to practice in some foreign companies in Shanghai during the postgraduate stage, which will be very helpful for future employment. Professionally speaking, the food science and engineering discipline of Jiangnan University is the earliest, the best foundation and the widest coverage among similar disciplines in China, which can be described as "an old Chinese brand". Now it has the only State Key Laboratory of Food Science and Technology in the food field and the International Joint Research Center of Probiotics and Intestinal Health, ranking first in the fourth round of discipline evaluation (20 17) and the best discipline in China (2022). Therefore, the major of food science and engineering in Jiangnan University is a very good choice in terms of discipline ranking and geographical location.
It is precisely because of the superior position of food major in Jiangnan University that many students are afraid. But I want to say, as long as you have the courage to sign up, you are half successful! Taking last year's admission as an example, the retest line of the Food College is only 273 points, as low as the national line; Judging from the number of students enrolled, 80 students were admitted to the master's degree and 262 students were admitted to the master's degree, which is almost the largest among similar schools, so the competitive pressure will not be great. With the trend of national enrollment expansion, although the retest line was very low last year, the master's degree received dozens of adjustments, that is, those who volunteered for the retest were accepted. And this trend of enrollment expansion will continue in the next few years. Therefore, there is still a great chance to apply for landing in the Food College of Jiangnan University.
As far as the difficulty of specialized courses is concerned, the teachers of food specialty in Jiangnan University are more flexible in setting questions. Compared with other schools, rote learning can't get high marks, which is also the reason why students' scores in professional courses are generally not high over the years. However, since last year, due to the reform of specialized courses, the examination subject has been changed from elective one to general examination 852 (Biochemistry+Chemical Engineering Principles), and the increase of review content will also lead to the overall decline in the difficulty of setting questions in recent years. This is not an opportunity!
The specialty of food science and engineering trains senior engineering and technical personnel with knowledge of chemistry, biology, food engineering and food technology, who can be engaged in food production technology management, quality control, product development, scientific research and engineering design in the food field.
After graduation, students can engage in food engineering design, new product development, food nutrition research, quality inspection, quality control, technical management, technical supervision, food machinery and equipment management, food packaging design, food storage management, food transportation management, enterprise management, food scientific research and achievement promotion. Being able to engage in product analysis, testing, technical supervision, law enforcement and management in food quality supervision, customs, commodity inspection, health and epidemic prevention, import and export, industry and commerce and other departments; Teaching and scientific research can also be carried out in relevant state organs, institutions of higher learning and scientific research institutes.
Second, the initial experience.
Politics: The political review can officially start in July. In the summer vacation, you can watch the improvement once and brush the "1000 question" once, mainly to have an understanding of the examination content, and the study time is 30~40 minutes every day. Then you can watch the skills consolidate. The most important work is to do multiple-choice questions carefully after small 8 came out in June, 1 1, and ensure that each set of multiple-choice questions is not less than 40 points before the exam, so as to achieve the effect. Xiao Si will be published in 65438+February, with 20 essay questions to recite, and the importance is generally the first set; The second set of tests; ....., in short, if you master Xiao Si Xiao, you can get 60 points in politics.
Gross is a big shot in politics! About 34%. Will combine modern history and philosophy to produce subjective questions, or single subjective questions. The proportion of multiple-choice questions is also quite large! The main contents of Mao's outline are: introduction, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, Theory of Three Represents, Scientific Outlook on Development and harmonious society. Among them, the harmonious society in Mao Zedong Thought and Scientific Outlook on Development, Hu Jintao is the most important! When I still remember watching the video, he analyzed it like this: Mao is the founding marshal, and naturally it is the focus of 30% assessment. Because we can't forget our roots. The economic development promoted by Deng will account for 65,438+00% of the total. Ginger's contribution is relatively small and is not listed as a key assessment. Hu is the current chairman, so the importance mentioned in theory must be 60% of the total assessment! So the key point is self-evident. Many people will be surprised that those editorials are too boring to remember, and the documents and spirit are empty. Here, it is suggested to review Mao's history and modern history together. Especially in modern history, after Zunyi Conference, Mao Zedong Theory was born and re-examined.
English: In essence, vocabulary comes first and grammar comes second. Recommend the word "little red book" Although it is very thick, it is divided into units. It is completely feasible to recite one unit of words every day or every two days. Be sure to keep memorizing words until the day before the exam! ! ! Reading is the question with the highest score. It is recommended to use video to brush the real questions. It is enough to brush the questions once a day, but you must master the vocabulary and long sentences inside, and at the same time summarize the reading skills. Postgraduate English is also a very skillful problem. The composition of the third item can be put in 10, which is also a skillful topic. There are many templates on the composition website, but I suggest you organize a version yourself.
The real question is king! I have done the real question for nearly 10 years about four times. At first, I saw someone on the forum saying that I had done it six or seven times, which I didn't understand. But later, I gradually realized the importance of the real question. If I have time, I think I will do it for the fifth and sixth time. Do it carefully the first time. Do it on your own time on the first day, and then answer. The next few days are to look at the real problem of analysis and analysis.
I usually analyze two readings in one afternoon, taking into account the words, sentences and ideas for doing the questions. Generally, it takes about 4 days to complete a set of real questions. After the first time, I almost forgot the answer at this time. Do it again. If the first time is to understand the words, sentence patterns and writing methods of the real questions, then the purpose of the second time is to use the ideas of the questioner in addition to consolidating the previous knowledge.
Specialized courses: The specialized course of Jiangda University is 852 (Fundamentals of Food Science and Engineering), including biochemistry (80 points) and chemical engineering principles (70 points).
Because it is two subjects, review should start early. In previous years, it was often enough to take a subject from May. Therefore, it is suggested to start a round of review from March to April under the new syllabus. And the characteristics of the two subjects are different, so I will separate their learning methods:
The subject of biochemistry is mainly understanding+memory, and hardly involves calculation. In order to ensure the efficiency of our review, it is not recommended to follow the video class for a round of review, because the video content is too detailed, which is not conducive to the exam. Last year, I went through the textbook with a master's degree in education, using the Wang Miao version of biochemistry. If there is something I don't understand when reading, I will find the corresponding class to listen to. After reviewing each chapter, you can take out a piece of A4 paper to list the framework and key points, which is conducive to the second interview. As for the real questions about biochemistry, just recite the answers directly, because many questions will appear repeatedly. It is enough to master the knowledge points in the real questions in previous years, and it is not cost-effective to prepare the content that does not appear ~ If time is tight and there is no way to review it comprehensively, you can focus on the real questions in the past five years and understand the key points of the teacher's questions.
The principle of chemical engineering focuses on principles and calculations, which is somewhat similar to mathematics. In the first round of review, I also followed the key video learning textbook (Principles of Chemical Engineering of Tianjin University). In this process, I should try my best to understand the concept and formula derivation of each technical term, otherwise I will look confused when doing the problem. After learning a chapter, you should do the corresponding real questions in time (if you have enough time, you can buy exercise books to practice your hands). I suggest practicing big questions first and mastering the application of key formulas. In the second round of review, we should learn some details about the small questions in the real questions, that is, this time we can summarize the knowledge of a whole chapter in a complete framework by going through the textbook again, and the formulas that are frequently tested can also be summarized together, so that we can remember more. The big head lies in the calculation problem, so it is not too much to brush the big questions in the real questions many times. In order to consolidate the previous knowledge points, you can brush by chapter and then by year to train your comprehensive ability. As for the small questions, my suggestion is to master the previous years, because the knowledge points of the small questions are particularly detailed, difficult to master, and the scores are small, so it is not worthwhile to spend too much time on them. If there are difficulties in the review process of the postgraduate entrance examination, you may wish to sign up for a remedial class, such as the one-on-one tutorial course of Xinxiangxu Postgraduate Entrance Examination, which is highly targeted, flexible in class time and free to answer questions after class, which is very helpful for preparing for the exam at the initial stage of the postgraduate entrance examination.
Mathematics: The study of mathematics focuses on doing problems and summing up problems. Before the end of the summer vacation, you should brush a lot of questions to cooperate with the video class. After the summer vacation, we will enter the promotion sprint stage. At this stage, we should summarize the wrong questions in the exercise set into special topics and make up the weak ones. In this way, after 10 months, you have a relatively complete knowledge system, and you can brush the questions one by one. I suggest you brush the real questions for nearly 15 years, buy the answer sheet for postgraduate entrance examination online and train regularly. Early real questions can be used as exercises in each chapter during the summer vacation, and various institutions will produce simulation papers and sprint papers, so the questions are not in a hurry.
Third, the second interview experience
The re-examination ratio of graduate students in Food College is 1: 1.6, and the re-examination ratio of special students is 1: 1.2, with scores of 273 national lines. In the end, the ratio of the results of the initial test and retest is about 3:7, so it is much easier for students with good results in the initial test to retest.
The second interview process is as follows: Chinese self-introduction-professional question and answer (3 questions)-English question and answer-free questions.
Self-introduction time should be controlled within two minutes, just tell me the basic personal information. Students with good grades can tell me their undergraduate grades and rankings, as well as the professional-related competitions they have participated in. If not, you can talk about the future prospects of graduate students or your research interests. In short, you should talk about your professional ability.
There are three main courses to be tested in the re-examination course: microbiology, food chemistry and organic chemistry, with quite a lot of contents. For those students whose preliminary test results have been brushed aside, it is said that they will study hard after the New Year. You can find the seniors who were admitted in previous years to draw the key points, otherwise it is easy to waste time. Among them are mainly microbiology and food chemistry, and it may take more time to understand and remember organically. Let's weigh this according to our own situation.
English questions and answers are everyday questions, such as what your hobbies are, advantages and disadvantages, and introducing your hometown ... There will be many bloggers on some social platforms to sort this out, and you can practice your spoken English and pronunciation every day, and there are some general answers.
In the free questioning session, if you are a candidate of this major, the teacher will definitely ask you about the content of your graduation thesis or design, so even if you haven't started yet, you should be familiar with it in advance. The principle and method are easy to be asked, and the progress is also asked. Students with scientific research experience may also be asked related questions and should be familiar with them. If they don't know, they won't be very professional. The teachers of Jiangnan University are very kind and will not discriminate against you because you are a double-non or equal-level candidate. As long as you are calm and confident in front of the teacher and show your professionalism, you will definitely get good grades!
Four. Other suggestions
1. About work and rest: I suggest you go to bed early and get up early. After all, "a day's plan lies in the morning", giving the brain enough time to wake up will make the morning study more efficient!
2. Develop the habit of reselling. Whether it is once a day or once a week, it is a phased review and summary process. Improving learning methods and improving learning efficiency can save a lot of useless work.
3. Find a small partner to study with. The road to postgraduate entrance examination is long, and there are often lazy thoughts. At this time, you need a research friend to supervise each other, and you can also exchange review progress, study methods and materials.
4. The essence of learning is repetition. No matter what kind of subjects, you need to review them from time to time. To borrow a teacher's words, "Repeated, down-to-earth, never forget, there will be repercussions".
"A person's postgraduate entrance examination is a protracted war of his own, just like washing clothes in a dark room. You don't know if it has been cleaned, you can only wash it over and over again. When I arrived at the examination room, the light came on and I found that some people forgot to add washing powder and some people used washing machines. But as long as you wash every place carefully, that dress will be as bright as new, and you will think of these years every time you wear this dress. "
Students, since you have chosen the road of postgraduate entrance examination, you must be firm, brave and regretless. No matter success or failure, when you look back on this period, I hope you can see yourself shining for your goal!
