My University Road---"The road of the university"

Recently, I read the new book "The Road of the university" by Wu. In this book, the author of the daughter chose the University as an "opportunity" to systematically study the European and American many world-class universities, and personally accompanied her daughter visited some well-known institutions. As always, the author will be fluent in writing, beautiful language, Oxford University, Cambridge University, University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Caltech, Princeton University, Yale University, Stanford University, Duke University, Washington University (Saint Louis), The campus and surrounding environment, architectural style, disciplinary features and application conditions of the world-class universities such as Wesleyan University are displayed in front of readers. Whether it's a school student, a fledgling novice in the workplace, or a veteran in the workplace, you can get some inspiration from this book on a long learning path.

Wu that a good university should play four roles. First of all, he is the place to cultivate talents, to cultivate those young people with potential ambition to contribute to society, second, it is a research center, leading the development of world science and technology, and will have a positive impact on a country, a region; Thirdly, it is the birthplace of a new thought and a new culture. It is the home of the young people, the place where they have the best time of their lives.

After reading this book, I could not help but think back to my university four years of time ...

My university's major for communication engineering, the entire professional a total of 130 students (later, when a person did not come, so in fact, the beginning of the number of students only 129), according to the first letter of each student's surname in ascending order to arrange the school number, my school number is no. 126th. The school divides us into two classes, the first 65th is the correspondence class, the remainder is the communication second class (obviously, I am the communication Second Class).

Next, the university's study life officially began. In freshman time, we studied the main courses include: "Advanced mathematics", "Linear Algebra", "University Physics", "Circuit principle", "C language Programming", "College English" and so on. Because there is no senior learning elder sister's way, the teacher in addition to the class almost always in the "vanishing" state, coupled with in the university before entering the school in addition to serious reading nothing else, so my freshman year of life can be regarded as a continuation of high school life. Get up early every day to go to the morning run (school rules, freshman must participate in the morning run, and have a minimum number of limits), and then eat breakfast to class. In the absence of class, I will go to the library or find a classroom to read and study quietly.

High school places fixed in a classroom, but the university is not the same, to see the schedule above the arrangement where to go to class, so, often this course just finished, we will rush to another teaching building in a classroom to class. At the beginning of the class, I always very early into the classroom to occupy a position, worried about sitting in the front row and affect the effect of the lectures. After a period of time only to find that I do not need to do so, because most of the students will choose to rely on the position, as if the farther away from the teacher the better. I was thinking that the front position of the lecture is obviously better, why do not people want to sit? This is why I have not thought about it so far.

Based on the "glue" mode of life, freshman year has been very fast. Two semesters of the overall results also released, I ranked first in the professional, high number of books have got full marks, C language courses got 99 points. I also won the "Miyoshi students" scholarship in our school. For this result, many students are very surprised, ran to ask me how to learn. In fact, my learning method is very simple, even a bit "stupid".

The way to learn the high number is this: Before class, I first in class to learn the contents of the preview, will not see clearly the place to tick out; in class, I follow the teacher's rhythm (of course, sitting in the front row), for the place where the previous tick, I will play 200% of the spirit of focus; In addition to the completion of the teacher's homework assignments, I will be the textbook behind the problem of a non-landing done, and the problem-solving procedures written to a paper notebook. For some of the problems that I can't think of solving, I will record them and ask the teacher when I am in class. Many people think that in the university, to learn a course, need a lot of reference books, in fact, it is not necessary to learn a book is enough.

C language Learning method and high number of learning methods are different, C language is a highly practical course, need to keep on the ground machine practice. At that time, limited to the conditions, I do not own a computer, only in the machine Class I have the opportunity to practiced hand and debug programs. In order to take advantage of the "valuable" time in the machine class, I was prepared for "full". I write the program I wrote in class on paper and take it in class. I began to do my own thing when I finished the tasks assigned by the teacher. Such a class down, compared to those who are unconscious and prepared for the students, I have to debug several procedures, so long-term, the difference is more obvious. Sometimes, I think, many people want to find some learning skills, thought this can save time and effort, but I think some primitive, ancient learning methods (such as preview, take notes, more practice, hands-on, etc.) will achieve better learning results.

There are many courses in the sophomore year, including some very important basic courses, such as "analog electronic technology", "digital electronic Technology", "Signal and system" and so on. Many students feel that these courses are very difficult, can not find a good way to learn. For me, because a freshman time will be the foundation of mathematics, and at the same time to do a pre-class preview, class carefully listen to, the lessons summed up exercises, so learning is also relatively easy.

In the sophomore, I bought the first laptop in my life. Every day after class, I use the computer to read the teacher's courseware, writing procedures and documents. Even with the computer, the library and study room are still my frequent places.

Another important thing happened in sophomore year, that is, I participated in the "2007 National College English Contest", and won the Class C (non-English major undergraduate Class) Second prize, is our professional only one award. I have not been lax about learning English since I entered the university. When I was a freshman, I saw many people reading English on the school lawn in the morning, so I insisted on taking half to one hours to read English every morning, and this habit persisted until I graduated. In order to test English level 46, I also subscribed to an English weekly, and each of the above articles have been read several times, at the same time, each of the above exercises have been done. Also because of the density of learning at that time, I passed the national English class four exam in the big semester, in sophomore semester passed the national English level Six examination.

Sophomore this year is so hastily passed, I continue to be the first in the professional, and once again won the "Miyoshi students" of our school scholarship.

This year, we are obviously much busier than the last two years. Many students began to prepare for graduation, have to go out to practice, there are all kinds of certification, there is a lot of consulting preparation for postgraduate examination, there are crazy reading ready to participate in the retake, of course, there are all day to muddle through. The last semester of Junior High School is the most difficult four years, including: "Computer network", "Communication Principle", "Digital signal Processing", "Data Structure", "microcomputer principle" and so on. In order to learn these lessons, I sleep almost every day around 12 o'clock in the evening and get up at six o'clock in the morning. In addition to the class, the other time is not in the laboratory, or in the library, or in front of the computer. Now in retrospect, life was a bit bitter at that time, but I learned a lot of things.

Perhaps is to facilitate everyone to graduate school, the course is a lot less. At that time, in any corner of the campus, you can see things about the postgraduate examination. Including the wall stickers, students in their hands, and even every population is talking about, almost all related to postgraduate examination. Postgraduate examination seems to be a magic weapon to change the fate of students.

In the study, I also went to listen to some of the lectures on the grind, for the postgraduate examination has a general understanding. I analyzed the actual situation of my own, first of all, I personally like to study some of the things have a certain depth, the enthusiasm for research, and secondly, I compare "sitting", that is, scientific research inside the "tolerance of loneliness"; again, as long as I can enter the public funds of graduate students, will not spend the money of the family. In addition, the whole process of postgraduate examination can be good to exercise a person's temperament, at least can be a few years after a "good memory." I will prepare myself for the entrance examination of the idea to the family said, they did not say anything (in fact, they do not understand), just say let me look at it. Therefore, I also joined the "Postgraduate examination of the Army", from the beginning of the next semester to concentrate on reviewing the postgraduate examination.

And many other people from the beginning of all kinds of remedial classes, buy a variety of review materials, I set up a review plan "three steps Away": The first step, will be the basis of the foundation of the course (such as high number, linear algebra, professional related courses, etc.) to review again, to achieve a variety of basic concepts very familiar Second, for each of the subjects to buy one or two classics of the revision of the textbook, slowly chew, repeated reading, and strive to thoroughly understand all the knowledge points in the book; The third step, to grind the stage of the final examination, appropriate to participate in a few short-term training, to understand the latest postgraduate study of the dynamic, so that the "big battle" is

In the next semester, the school also took place a "history" event, that is named the national "211" Engineering University, Hainan Province is the only state-level key university. Since then, Hainan University in many parts of China's admission scores from two into a copy. One of the greatest benefits for students who want to graduate from school is that they have a GPA qualification.

Before the school was rated as "211" engineering University, if a student wants to study, then there is only one way, that is to refer to the national organization of the Unified examination. After being named "211" Engineering University (that is, the second half of our junior year), the school first got the GPA, a total of 120 people. In this way, students in the first three years of undergraduate studies have the possibility of examination and study.

After the teacher in charge of the recommendation and some of their own efforts, I finally successfully insured to the South Mail, and there spent three years of good time. When I graduated from college, I was also awarded the title of "Outstanding Graduate".

Compared to the "University of the Road" in those elite, my university Road "monotonous" a lot:

First of all, I put most of my energy into the study of professional courses, did not participate in any student community, has been almost "ascetic" life. Most universities in Europe and the United States emphasize the importance of extracurricular activities, and Yale students spend half their time in extracurricular activity.

Secondly, I almost always follow my own will in the study, around the lack of some mentor guidance (perhaps I did not seriously explore). Most of the top schools are very concerned about the growth of students, the teachers will be in different ways to guide students learning.

Again, I learned more utilitarian (I found that most of the students around are like this), the purpose of learning a course is to get high scores, and then obtain scholarships, did not consider this course has any practical use. Many courses, such as exams, will never touch. By now, I have found that more than 95% of the courses in the university are not relevant to my present job.

Finally, in school, although I have been studying hard, but the mind does not have a blueprint for the future, there is no detailed planning for the future. The spirit of "take one step, count one step" principle, I "stumbled" to the present, but also inevitably on the road of learning to take some detours.

Losing in the starting point is not scary, learning is not hundred meters sprint, but marathon, learning is a lifelong thing. As long as we persevere and constantly update our knowledge base, then we must be the one who laughs last.

"The road of the university", a good book that can bring inspiration for everyone, recommended for everyone to read.
