The original meaning of the word "teaching" is to teach and educate people, impart knowledge and skills.

Contemporary professors have two functional identities, teacher + scholar.

But before, many professors spent more than half of their energy on projects, funding, writing articles and connections. Teaching students specifically was a perfunctory job of teaching undergraduates.

With the introduction of the new regulations, professors should not perfunctory students. Professors should love students from the bottom of their hearts and truly teach and answer questions.

In fact, many professors focus on scientific research and neglect teaching, and are forced to do so. The hard scientific research tasks assigned by the above must be completed on time.

If the professors do not set up hard scientific research tasks, most professors are still willing to become a synthetic teacher and cultivate reserve talents for the motherland in all aspects.

When a teacher works as a teaching position, he feels accomplished and happy, and is respected. Moreover, during the teaching process, the professor can also sort out his own professional ideas, which is conducive to systematically conducting more in-depth and comprehensive research on the professional fields he is engaged in.

Shen Qi likes being a teacher very much. After taking this exquisite course, he has a deeper understanding and new ideas about mathematics and physics, Riemann's conjecture, prime distribution, high-dimensional physics and m theory.

A freshman with a strong desire for knowledge surrounded Shen Qi and asked various questions, some basic and some imaginative.

It is impossible for Shen Qi to answer every student's questions in detail. Princeton's approach is to use the guidance class system, and the guidance teacher of the assistant professor will answer the students after class to consolidate relevant knowledge points.

Chinese universities do not have a guide system. When students encounter academic doubts, they usually do it themselves.

What should I do if I have a poor understanding?

Then there is nothing we can do. Learning such things depends on diligence and talent.

Shen Qi picked a few typical questions to answer the students, but this could not solve all the confusions of the students.

Shen Qi thought about finding time after class and holding a special Q&A meeting, but this is not the fundamental way to solve the problem. After all, Shen Qi has limited time.

So Shen Qi had the idea to recruit a doctoral student in mathematics within Yan University.

Shortly after the news came out, a bunch of resumes were placed on Shen Qi's desktop, all of which were master's students from Yan University's Mathematical Institute.

Shen Qi started the primary election.

"The higher generation is 100, number scores 82, number theory 99, complex variable function 72... This student is very strong in some courses, but he also has obvious shortcomings."

"The higher generation 92, number scores 88, solution 95, number theory 90, mathematical physics methods 89, algebraic geometry 87... This student is very comprehensive, pik."

The criterion for Shen Qi's primary selection is to examine the achievements of these graduate students in various professional courses in undergraduate and master's stages.

Some courses get full marks, while some courses have only a score of more than 70 points, Shen Qi excluded them.

All professional courses are students of excellent level and relatively comprehensive level, Shen Qipik and others.

Five master's students entered the final PK stage, and Shen Qi summoned them to the center for an interview.

A total of five students, four men and one woman, lined up in front of Shen Qi. They were all excited and looking forward to one of them. One of them would become Shen Qi's doctoral student.

What this means to be able to follow Shen Qi to study for a doctorate is beyond doubt for the five students.

Shen Qi said with a smile: "Hello everyone, everyone, please give a simple self-introduction first."

The tallest boy introduced himself first: "Hello Professor Chen, my name is Chen Tao, I am from the Northeast, and my master's supervisor is Teacher Fu Yabo. My master's professional direction is real-variable functions. My master's thesis has been completed. I hope to follow Professor Chen to study for a doctorate."

Shen Qi nodded and said, "Yes, not bad, next one."

The only girl said: "Hello Professor Chen, my name is Tao Ya, I am from Chenzhou..."

The other three boys introduced themselves: "My name is Cao Quan, I am from Jingmen..."

"My name is Liu Weikun, I am from Mianyang..."

"My name is Wu Shangfeng, I am from Texas..."

Shen Qi kept smiling: "Not bad, you are from all over the world and are all excellent. Have you all joined the party? Party members, please raise your hands."

Four students raised their hands and were party members.

Only Wu Shangfeng from Texas did not raise his hand.

Shen Qi looked at Wu Shangfeng and asked, "Xiao Wu's hometown is Texas, right?"

Xiao Wu shook his head repeatedly: "No, Professor Chen was joking. My hometown is Texas, Texas of China, and I am not an American."

Shen Qi asked again: "Why don't you join the party?"

Xiao Wu explained: "My whole family believes in Buddhism, and I also believe in Buddhism."

"I understand, it turns out that you are a disciple of Buddhism." Shen Qi respected Xiao Wu's religious beliefs. The firm communists were atheists. Xiao Wu's conversion to Buddhism was his freedom of faith. This is normal.

"Let me tell me what I think. The doctoral student I recruited this time did not do any project in the past two years. This doctoral student only did one thing in the past two years, which was to tutor the undergraduates' studies after class and answer the undergraduates' doubts. You can understand that this is a position similar to a tutor instructor."

"In two years, this doctoral student will follow me to do projects, so it will take you more than 5 years to get a doctorate. So, are you willing to follow me to study for a doctorate?" Shen Qi said a sensitive topic, and he observed the expressions of the five students.

"Ah? Didn't do projects in the past two years?" Tao Yaxian was surprised.

"Tutorialized undergraduates?" Chen Tao felt that this was a waste of time. Two years of youth did not do serious business. Just tutoring undergraduates can't afford to waste it.

Of course, most master's students want to follow a great doctoral supervisor, and can immediately participate in a major project during the doctoral degree, get a doctoral degree early, and enter the core circle of academia early.

Even if everything goes well, I am almost 30 years old after graduating from a doctorate.

If a doctoral student does not do a project in the first two years, the time for a doctoral student will definitely be delayed.

"Can we do this? In the past two years, we not only tutored undergraduate juniors, but also followed Professor Chen to do projects. We have nothing to do with it, and we can bear it." Liu Weikun put forward a compromise suggestion.

"Oh, that's what you think." Shen Qi smiled, not agreeing.

Only Wu Shangfeng, a Buddhist, did not speak. Shen Qi asked Wu Shangfeng: "Xiao Wu, please say a few words."

Wu Shangfeng said sincerely: "We all come from undergraduates. When I was in undergraduate, the teacher disappeared after class. The assistant teacher didn't care about anything. When I encountered problems that I didn't understand, I really didn't know who to answer the questions. I could only go to the library to check the materials and solve the problems by myself through self-study. I think undergraduates, especially freshmen and sophomore students, still need someone to answer their questions after class. I am willing to accept the job of a two-year tutoring teacher mentioned by Professor Chen."
