How to spend your college

 University: University life is the key
critical stage of life. This is because access to college is that you finally put down the burden of college entrance examination, for the first time began to pursue their own ideals and interests. This is your life away from their families, the first independent participation in the community and social life. It is you do not simply learn or recite the books of theoretical knowledge, the first opportunity in the same hands-on learning theory. This is the first time you are no longer arranged by the parents of all living and learning, but there is enough to dispose freely of life and learning problems encountered, the control of all of their own time.
University is a crucial stage of life. This is because, this is your last opportunity for a lifetime of systemic access to education. This is the last time you can build your knowledge base heart. This may be the last time you can long period of time for learning stage of life, it may be the last time you can have a high plasticity, and concentrate on self-fulfilling process of growth. This is probably the last time you can in a relatively tolerant, can immerse themselves in the road where the ideal learning environment for interaction with others.
University is a crucial stage of life. At this stage, all students should be careful seize every four years in college, we should try to weave their own dreams of life, clear hard direction, building their careers.
everyone four years of college only once, four years of college should be spent this way hh
self-study: From TELL self-taught
to remember any of my teaching assistant at Columbia University when the parents of Chinese students had bit complained to me: , not even VisiCalc [1] are not used. can not guarantee that every student can learn techniques and tools. we can guarantee is that your child will learn to think and to master the learning method, so that no matter what emerged after five years, new technology or new tools, your child able capability. was erased, the last thing left is the essence of education.
I said these words from the famous educator BF Skinner. so-called capacity, which is giving top priority to or without a teacher's ability. Universities are not important thing is to learn to think of ways to develop the ability to learn by analogy, the only way graduates can adapt to the changing world of the future. I know a lot through college in China to the United States as a graduate student friend. They believe that the United States after , whether it is learning, work or life is the most lacking in their ability to think independently because they rarely at home when the independent thinking and independent decision-making.
in high school, the teacher will repeat again and again the key elements of each lesson . but into the college, will serve as guides for the role of the teacher, students must independently learn, explore and practice. go to work, the self-learning ability becomes more important. Microsoft has done a statistical: in Microsoft employees each knowledge content, only about 10% of the staff study and work in the past been accumulated, and other knowledge are re-learning after joining Microsoft. This data fully shows a lack of self- ability is difficult in the modern enterprise like Microsoft to gain a foothold.
self-learning culture must start at the university. Many students complain about teachers teach well, do not know much, the school's curriculum is also unreasonable. I usually advise these students, said: textbooks are usually dozens of pages to cover the information content, only through classroom lectures can not pass all the knowledge and learning, learning through the. the best way to learn is to put the books before the teacher is lecturing in pondering issues related to clear, then control their lessons in class to make up their own understanding and awareness on the inadequacies.
students in learning is the pursuit of knowledge is more knowledge and good at asking questions. For each knowledge point, should ask a few the realm of self-taught.
In fact, many problems have different ideas or perspectives. In the study of knowledge or to solve problems, do not always sticking to a mode of thinking, do not let yourself become a slave to books or experience. Only in learning innovation, good thinking from the perspective of a new problem, the potential student thinking, creativity and learning ability in order to be really inspire them.
without friends, the Gu Lou and few heard. Or ask them to recommend some reference books outside of school. In addition to other senior professors, the University of the young teachers, graduate students and even their classmates are the best source of knowledge and learning partners. each person understanding of the issues and Recognizing not all the same, only teach and learn, we can progress together.
Some students have told me that they envy when I read one received a master of preaching Tuition Turing Award. In fact, Although I respected my teacher, but he was in college did not teach me much expertise. He just pointed out the direction for me, let me share his experience, give me the resources to provide research and taught me in life methods. He did not guide my time there is no need to learn specific professional knowledge. I have the expertise accumulated during the University are available through self-study. just started, I had blushed to my brother several times to ask the most basic knowledge content, meet to discuss a lot when I was asked superficial questions, spare time I also take the initiative to discuss with the students, learn from. the opportunity to boldly ask, always learn from, we can learn the most useful knowledge and methods.
