Chapter 38 The invitation to be so straightforward that there is no aesthetic feeling

The venue for the provincial award and provincial excellent thesis defense was set at Haizhou University

According to Zhou Jingxue, the thesis defense was divided into three days.The defense of the high school group takes about half a day, and the defense of the university group takes two days.At least from all aspects of the arrangement, this competition is very serious.

The award-winning contestants set off early on Friday morning and went to an auditorium specially prepared by Haizhou University.

Bilingual No. [-] High School came earlier, and when I arrived at the auditorium, the professors on the rostrum hadn't arrived yet, but just looking at the nameplates indicating the identity of the judging committee, it made people feel that the lineup of experts presiding over the defense this time was not simple.

For example, the vice president of Haizhou University and the dean of the School of Economics and Management, and the president of the Haizhou Mathematics Association, Ning Qing also saw a nameplate that reads Lifetime Professor of the School of Mathematics of Haizhou University and Lifetime Honorary Professor of the Ryan Good Institute of Mathematics .

Although the names are all unfamiliar, it can be seen that there are many talented people in the judging committee this time.Ning Qing felt that this kind of judging lineup was made in a district selection competition.It is entirely to increase the pressure on the high school students who come to defend.

Not to mention that the entire defense process is still a public defense method. All groups that have won the provincial award can sit in the auditorium and defend on stage in the order they were arranged before. A TV station was also invited to record the scene.I think I will show my face in the local news footage of Haizhou that day.

With more and more people in the auditorium, the jury was seated, and the defense finally officially started.Ning Qing, who was ranked last, was fortunate to be able to see the defense performances of all other groups first.

For Ning Qing, such an arrangement is not troublesome.He has rehearsed the specific defense process many times, and there is no pressure on him because the status of the judges is too high.I even felt quite novel because I was sitting under the stage.

The defense process is similar to that on Earth, divided into two steps.First of all, the main defense representative group in the team explained the thesis plan through PPT. To put it bluntly, it read a self-report draft that had been prepared and submitted in public, and displayed the thinking process in pictures.

Then it is to accept expert review questions. Generally, each group is controlled to ask two to three questions, and the reply time of each group is controlled at about 10 minutes.

Probably because the sense of oppression brought by the team of experts was too strong, Ning Qing saw that many team leaders were stuttering while reading their self-reports.This directly caused Zhou Yan, who was quite relaxed at first, to become nervous, and began to whisper in Ning Qing's ear non-stop.

"Ning Qing, will you be okay later? Experts won't pick me to ask questions, right? I don't understand anything."

Ning Qing didn't bother to pay attention to Zhou Yan who lost his position, but admired Liu Xiaohan who was sitting on the other side of him.

Although this girl probably doesn't know much about mathematical modeling, at least she is calm enough to not be frightened by this scene.

Fortunately, the order of the dissertation defense arrangements this time is obviously finalized according to the final grades. Basically, the later the students are, the stronger the students' abilities are.After an hour of defense, the performance of the students on the stage began to smoothen.

In this way, it was soon Ning Qing's turn, and the three came to the stage. Ning Qing saw that Zhou Yan's legs were trembling, which made him feel a little disappointed in this friend again.The psychological quality is still a bit poor, embarrassing is of great use.

Fortunately, Ning Qing didn't intend to let the two of them speak at first. After walking on the rostrum, he began to introduce the topic selection and problem-solving ideas in detail according to the preview of his own conception. It only took 3 minutes to explain his solution clearly. problem thinking.

This is also where Ning Qing has the most advantage.

He is very clear about what the judges want to hear in this kind of defense, not how to divide the work in groups to overcome difficulties, and does not require individual students to explain the process of eliminating the false and retaining the true in their personal thinking. The whole defense process only takes a few minutes, and the judges only need to know How did you come up with the idea that modeling in a certain way is enough.

A more specific explanation is clearly written in the thesis. A defense of this level is nothing more than to let the review judges confirm that the thesis is indeed the result of their work, and it is enough that there is no cheating.So the defense process went smoothly. After finishing the self-report, the judges asked three more targeted questions. After Ning Qing gave concise and clear answers, the defense was considered over.

The total time is only about 6 minutes, which is considered as the group with the fastest defense.

After the defense, the three of them saluted the reviewers and returned to their seats, intending to go home after the host announced the end of the defense.Unexpectedly, Zhou Jingxue came over and said to Ning Qing: "When the defense is over, don't go back. That Professor Fu on the stage said he wanted to have a meal with you."

Ning Qing didn't expect this sudden invitation, so she subconsciously asked, "I'm the only one? Teacher Zhou, why don't you go?"

"Yes, it's just you. I have to take the team back later. Professor Fu said that later he will ask the academy to send you a car to take you back."

Ning Qing nodded, and it was a promise.

Then again, this operation made him feel that Professor Fu on the stage was quite discerning.

If he were to be a judge and a university professor, he would also want to fight for such a talented student.

At the level of colleges and universities, there is a basis for mutual achievement between doctoral supervisors and students.The tutor has contacts and resources, and the outstanding students have the drive and ability, as well as the ability to implement and realize the project.If a student has a certain level of management ability and can manage all the tutor's students well, it is definitely a treasure that all tutors look forward to having.And this kind of excellent students, like the legendary academician tutors, belong to the existence that can be met but not sought after.

Of course, this is just Ning Qing's judgment on herself.At this time, the two people sitting next to Ning Qing looked at him differently again.

Obviously, being valued by Teacher Zhou and being valued by the judges on stage are definitely two completely different concepts in the eyes of these high school children.

……

"You are Ning Qing?"

At the end of the defense, Zhou Jingxue arranged Ning Qing to wait in a small room next to the auditorium, and he left with the bilingual No. [-] middle school and the big team.Before making Ning Qing wait long, a young man dressed even more rustically than Ning Qing walked in.

"um, yes."

"Oh, you, my name is Zhang Zhuoyan, and I am a student of Professor Fu. Professor Fu asked me to take you directly to the place to eat."

"Okay, Brother Zhang." Ning Qing nodded and followed Zhang Zhuoyan out of the room.

Professor Fu's student probably belongs to the kind of honest person. Although Ning Qing didn't ask anything, he kept explaining there: "Professor Fu is a little busy now. The organizing committee originally had a dinner at noon. He had to Push down the dinner over there first."

"Oh, I got it, Brother Zhang." Ning Qing nodded helplessly. He has experienced too much about welcoming and sending off, so he naturally understands it.

"I've read your thesis, and it's really excellent. Director Fu also spoke highly of you. Are you willing to sign a direct Ph. Looking at you. And secretly telling you, maybe next year our Director Fu will be able to become an academician." The sudden and straightforward invitation almost caused Ning Qing to stumble and fall to the ground.

Too unpretentious, bad review!
