From 18 to 21 April, SDU-ANU Joint Science College held an array of surveys and symposiums on course teaching, teaching management, service work and the students’ study and life in order to get a clear picture of the college’s teaching and management and implement the concept of holistic education. Vice Dean Bai Ming was present and made a speech. The head of academic affairs office, Ms, Sun Xiaochen hosted the symposiums and some teachers and student representatives participated.
The student representatives gave feedback on the students’ problems and suggestions based on their previous surveys. The students from 2022 cohort applied chemistry major reported about the course progress being too fast for them to digest. The students from applied physics and biological sciences expressed their hope for improvement in the allocation and coordination of teaching resources in terms of class time and classroom arrangement. Besides, some students spoke out their concerns and bewilderment about their major studies.
Prof. Bai Ming exchanged views with the participants answering questions with experiences of his own and his previous students. He encouraged them to strengthen their self-management and self-monitoring, and put forward three suggestions. Firstly, they are supposed to make full use of the learning resources to explore knowledge actively and enhance their knowledge ability. Secondly, they must study actively and develop interest in their studies so as to study effectively. Finally, they are to set a long-term goal and not to seek quick success and instant benefits.
The teacher-student symposiums serve as a platform for teachers and students to exchange their views freely. It plays an active and effective role in improving the quality of fostering outstanding innovative talents with morality.
