What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 179 Receiving an Award Is a Trouble
Colin walked into the class.

What was different from usual was that he was carrying a rectangular suitcase in his other hand.

This kind of suitcase for containing documents is very common among the teachers of the college. After all, most teachers want to look through materials during class, and only one or two books are not enough.

The number of students who came today has once again created a record. There are no empty seats in the classroom, and students are standing behind. Even the windows outside the classroom are full of people.What's more, Colin found that His Excellency Iris and several familiar or unfamiliar teachers were sitting in the first row.

Since the paper on the Burning Magic Pattern Group was published on "Mechanical and Engineering", his reputation in the school has once again risen to a new level. The number of people attending each class is too large to guarantee the quality of the course.

For this reason, he specifically proposed to the college to limit the number of people who can choose his courses.

This request was made for the first time in the history of the college.

However, the principal, Hans, understands very well that the students who finally want to choose the Cohen Snape course must make an appointment in advance, and the total number of students should not exceed 250, first come first served.

This amount is barely acceptable for a classroom that can accommodate 200 people, and many people will bring their own benches to attend the class.

With this measure, the number of people attending classes finally dropped.

However, today's situation is special, because at the end of the last class, Professor Cohen Snape announced that the content of the next class - about the improvement of the energy conversion rate of the burning magic pattern group - was exactly the subject he had completed before, It is also the main content of the paper he published.

The author himself will explain this most popular academic topic recently, and of course there will be many interested people.

Therefore, although those students who did not make an appointment for the course could not get the corresponding usual credits, they still scrambled to attend the class. Even Iris and other teachers of the Magic Pattern Department came here after learning the news, and Using his identity, he forcibly seized the front row seat.

Colin couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

But I didn't care too much.

"As we all know, the burning magic pattern group is the most basic and most widely used power magic pattern group in magic engineering. With it, many magic machines can really work..."

As he spoke, he wrote on the blackboard behind him.

"Since 130 years ago, His Excellency Hamas of the Principality of Gilman completed the fifth technological innovation of the Burning Magic Pattern Group. Its energy conversion rate has continued to increase from the previous 0.4%, but it has not been able to break through until a few months ago. 1%……"

One and a half hours is only enough for him to explain the basic concepts of Chevelier's formula. As for the proofs of the other three derivative formulas, which are the work that Harold has done his best before, he can only talk about it in the next class. .

To really give an overview of the content of his thesis, it will take four lectures.

But obviously everyone didn't feel that the progress was slow, because the content of this class alone made many people feel overwhelmed and unable to understand.

In the classroom on the second day, the number of people dropped significantly.

Obviously, most people just came to join in the fun, while the other part felt that it was impossible for them to really understand, so they chose to give up.

On the third day, the numbers dropped again.

On the fourth day, except for a few teachers such as Iris, the number of people in the classroom has basically returned to the previous state of less than 300 people.

After the day's class ended, Ke Lin suddenly asked for an assessment.

Use half an hour after the class to do a simple test, which can be regarded as an assessment after listening to the first four classes, but it is completely voluntary, and those who do not want to participate can leave at any time.

Yet nearly all stayed.

Colin glanced at Iris, who was still sitting in the front row, and gave him a "test paper" as well, and said with a smile:
"Your Excellency Iris, being assessed once in a while may make you feel like you're back in your student days."

"That's exactly what I mean." Iris laughed and happily took the test paper.

The test papers used for the assessment are all provided by the college, and they are just the most common paper, so it is impossible to print too many questions.

Half an hour is over quickly.

Colin asked Harold, Burke and several assistants to help move the test papers back to his office.

Professor-level faculty members have an independent office that belongs only to themselves. Professor Cohen Snape's office is located on the second floor of the same building as his research group's studio.

Today's eleven assistants are still continuing the project on the improvement of the earth element magic pattern, because the manpower is sufficient and the workload is not heavy, and they will no longer need to stay up late to work like in the beginning, but the progress of the project has been very slow.

Harold and Burke are now Colin's most important assistants. After putting more than 200 test papers in the office, the others left, but Colin stayed behind.

Ke Lin took out a standard answer from the table, and said to the two, "Just use this answer to correct."

"Okay, Professor." The two of them were obviously used to doing things like this.

"Professor Snape." Harold, who was much more talkative than Burke, asked curiously before he started working: "Your paper has been published for almost a month. No news, I heard that this is an achievement that is guaranteed to win the Albert Medal."

"Who did you hear that from?" Colin said with a smile.

"Mr. Iris, Your Excellency Ackerman, and several teachers who I took courses have said."

"This statement is not wrong." Colin sat down behind the desk, ready to start today's work, and said, "But it won't be so fast."

"why?"

"The distribution of the Albert Medal has two main principles. One is groundbreaking..." Colin explained.

"Your thesis is very consistent with this." Harold interrupted impatiently.

"Yes." Colin smiled: "But there is another principle, that is, other than the theory of elements, other pioneering discoveries must have been verified by practical applications."

"I seem to have heard of this." Burke joined the discussion.

After all, the Albert Medal is still too far away from these students. We usually only know how powerful this award is, but many details are not clear.

The thesis of the Burning Magic Pattern Group can undoubtedly be called groundbreaking, but in terms of practicality, there is no real case yet.

The main reason is that Professor Snape has not authorized it to any chamber of commerce, so before that, the Albert Prize Selection Committee of Youlan City can only make preparations first, and wait for this discovery to have practical application Later, consider whether to award medals.

"In fact, even the theory of elements now requires a certain degree of practicality." Colin continued to explain: "The anonymous author's fourth conjecture proves that the original nomination is still open to question, until Felix Your use of it to solve the problem of the high-energy collapse of the water element has truly become uncontroversial.

"And the reason why His Excellency Felix's thesis was nominated for the Albert Award that year is because the improvement of spells can be verified on the spot."

"Professor, isn't your other thesis about increasing the casting speed of water arrows by 10% even better?"

"indeed."

Ke Lin sighed slightly: "Winning two Albert Awards is certainly good, but the other may not be won until next year. In this case, you have to travel to Youlan City twice. Thinking about it, it is really troublesome."

Burke: "..."

Harold: "..."
