24 students in the whole class, with 100% scientific research and innovation experience, 100% participation rate in overseas study projects, 4 free from graduate entrance examinations, 10 "go ashore" for graduate entrance examinations, 1 study abroad, 8 successfully employed, the special prize of National Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Competition, the special prize of the provincial engineering training competition, the first prize of the provincial innovation and entrepreneurship competition, and the honorary title of "Jiangsu Provincial Advanced Class Collective"...Jiangsu University Fluid (Excellence) 1801, which can be called the "Student Master Class" with great achievements.
What's the secret behind the nearly "full" grades? Jinping Yang, who was successfully accepted by Zhejiang University and was also the monitor of the class, told reporters that this should be attributed to the "4C+Love" development plan designed by their academic tutors.
"4C+Love" is Confidence, Cooperation, Communication, Creativity, and Love, which is custom-designed by Prof. Shouqi Yuan, their academic tutor, to encourage students to develop expertise, study abroad, do scientific research innovation, and pursue graduate education.
When freshman students begin their studies at the university, Prof. Shouqi Yuan leads them to determine the phase goals according to "4C+Love" and makes individual and class ability improvement plans. After that, Prof. Yuan will consistently hold class meetings to summarize the developments each term. Also, study exchange, social practice activities, quality developments, and oral English learning are irregularly organized.
"Prof. Yuan has always asked us to pursue excellence and encouraged us to compete with students from prestigious universities. In the beginning, we may not have enough confidence to face such a goal." Jinping Yang recalled, "no matter an individual or a class, it seems not too hard to get the final achievements. Perhaps it is the goals of the class - each of us is approaching our dreams step by step while completing one by one."
In the eyes of many people, contemporary college students have more personality and are difficult to manage. How to make students in a class "all flowers bloom together" and make progress together, the secret of the academic tutor Xiaochun Sun is to grasp the "leader".
"As an undergraduate, I was given the opportunity to join Mr. Sun's research group as a freshman, participating in scientific research projects and academic exchanges, which is a valuable asset in my university life." Pengli Wang, a study committee member of the 1604 class of medicine, and currently studying at Tongji University. He still remembers that Mr. Sun set up a scientific research interest group in the class, provided topics and scientific research materials, answered questions and doubts about the research frontiers, and had full patience with students.
Under the guidance of Xiaochun Sun, the 32 students in the class had a total admission rate of 84.4%, of which 9 class committees were all successfully admitted to postgraduate entrance examinations. The class's postgraduate entrance examination rate, the national line-up rate, and the total admission rate all broke the historical records of the medical school.
This year, the enrollment rate of the Electrical (Excellent) 1801 class has also reached more than 50%. Facing the "postgraduate entrance examination fever", Qi Wang from this class chose to work at BOE after graduation, a Fortune 500 company.
With Qi Wang's grades, his academic tutor Qiuqiu Zhu once suggested he continues his studies. "But after understanding my thoughts, Mr. Zhu fully understood and warmly said that he can consult him at any time if I have the idea to go to graduate school in the future." In Qi’s opinion, Xiqiu Zhu, the leader of the school of electrical engineering, is a scholar who is rigorous in his studies with an open mind. His unique empathy makes his students communicate with him without any barriers and also provides students with strong belief support.
Not only to be an academic tutor, but also to be a "leader" of students, which is the original intention of Jiangsu University's undergraduate academic tutor systems.
Each year, about 1400 academic tutors are selected and recruited, covering all undergraduates. School-level and division-level leaders have gone to the grassroots to contact students and serve as academic tutors. Academic and subject leaders have also shifted their focus to students’ academic guidance… ...Jiangsu University has implemented the undergraduate academic tutor systems since the end of 2010. After more than ten years of exploration and practice, the academic planning and operation mode has been gradually improved. Distinctive training concepts have also continuously promoted academic tutors to truly become students' ideological, political, and growth guides.
