Chapter 38 An invitation that is so straightforward that it has no sense of beauty

The defense venue for the provincial prize and provincial outstanding thesis has been set at Haiju University.

According to Zhou Jingxue, the thesis defense was held in three days. The defense for the high school group lasted about half a day, and the defense for the college group lasted two days. At least from all aspects of the arrangement, this competition was very serious.

The winning contestants set off early on Friday morning and arrived at an auditorium specially prepared by Haiju University.

Bilingual No. 1 Middle School arrived early. When we arrived at the auditorium, the professors on the rostrum had not yet arrived. However, just looking at the nameplates indicating the identity of the review committee made people feel that the lineup of experts hosting 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 Mathematical Association, Ning Qing also saw a name tag that said lifelong professor of the School of Mathematics of Haizhou University and lifelong honorary professor of the Ryan Goode Institute of Mathematics.

.

Although the names are all unfamiliar, it can be seen that there are many talented people in the review committee this time. Ning Qing felt that such a review lineup was created in a district selection competition, and it was a bit fussy. It completely increased the pressure on the high school students who came to defend themselves.

Not to mention that the entire defense process is still a public defense. All teams that have won provincial awards can sit in the auditorium and go on stage to defend in the order they were previously arranged. A TV station was also invited to record the defense. I think it will be in Haizhou that day.

Show your face in the news footage.

As more and more people entered the auditorium, the jury took their seats, and the defense finally officially began. Ning Qing, who was ranked last, was lucky enough to see the defense performances of all other groups first.

For Ning Qing, this arrangement does not bother him. He has rehearsed the specific defense process many times. As for the high status of the judges, it is not stressful for him. He even feels it is quite novel because he is sitting in the audience.

The defense process is similar to that on earth, and is divided into two steps. First, the main defense representative group in the team explains the thesis plan through PPT. To put it bluntly, it means reading a prepared and submitted self-report aloud in public, and

Show the thinking process in pictures.

Then they will accept questions from expert reviewers. Generally, each group will ask two to three questions, and the defense time of each group will be controlled at about ten minutes.

Probably because the pressure brought by the expert lineup was too strong, Ning Qing saw that many team leaders were struggling to read their self-reports. This directly caused Zhou Yan, who was quite relaxed at first, to become nervous and start to worry.

Stop and whisper in Ning Qing's ear.

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

Ning Qing was too lazy to pay attention to the lost Zhou Yan, but he admired Liu Xiaohan sitting on the other side of him even more.

Although this girl probably didn't know much about mathematical modeling, at least she was calm enough and not frightened by this scene.

Fortunately, the order of the thesis defense arrangement was obviously determined according to the final results. Basically, the farther back the students are, the stronger their abilities are. An hour after the defense, the performance of the students on stage began to become smoother.

In this way, it was soon the turn of Ning Qing's group. The three of them came on stage. Ning Qing saw Zhou Yan's legs were shaking a little, which made him feel a little disappointed in this friend again. His mental quality was still a bit poor, and it was embarrassing.

Fortunately, Ning Qing did not intend to let the two of them speak. After walking up to the rostrum, he started to introduce the topic selection and problem-solving ideas in detail according to his own rehearsal. It only took three minutes to explain his solution clearly.

Question ideas.

This is also where Ningqing has the greatest advantage.

He knew very well what the judges wanted to hear in this kind of defense. It was not how to divide work in groups to overcome difficulties, nor did students need to explain their personal thinking process of eliminating falsehoods and preserving truth. The entire defense process only took a few minutes, and the judges only needed to know

How did you come up with the idea that modeling it in a certain way would be enough.

A more specific explanation is clearly written in the paper. This level of defense is nothing more than to let the review judges confirm that the paper is indeed their work and that there is no cheating. So the defense process

It went smoothly. After finishing the self-report, the judges asked three more targeted questions. After Ning Qing gave concise and clear answers, the defense ended.

The total time spent was only about six minutes, making it the fastest group to defend.

After the defense, the three of them saluted the review experts 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: "Wait a minute.

The defense is over, don't go back yet. Professor Fu on the stage said he wants to have a meal with you."

Ning Qing didn't expect this sudden invitation, so she subconsciously asked: "Am I the only one? Teacher Zhou, aren't you going?"

"Yes, you are the only one. I have to lead the team back later. Professor Fu said that he will ask the college to send a car to take you back later."

Ning Qing nodded and agreed.

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

If he were the judge and a university professor, he would try to win over such a talented student.

At the university level, doctoral supervisors and students have a basis for mutual achievement. Supervisors have connections and resources, and outstanding students have drive and ability, as well as the ability to implement and realize projects. If students have certain management capabilities,

Being able to manage all the tutor's students well is definitely a treasure that all tutors look forward to having. And such outstanding students are just like the legendary academician tutors, they are rare beings.

Of course, this was just Ning Qing's judgment of 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 two completely different concepts in the eyes of these high school kids.

…

"Are you Ning Qing?"

After the defense, Zhou Jingxue arranged for Ning Qing to wait in a small room next to the auditorium. He took a group of bilingual students from No. 1 Middle School and left with the large team. Ning Qing was not left waiting for long, and a young man dressed even more rustically than Ning Qing appeared.

People walked in.

"Well, yes."

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

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

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

Let’s turn down the dinner over there first.”

"Oh, I understand, Brother Zhang." Ning Qing nodded helplessly. He had experienced too many things like welcoming people and sending them off, so he naturally understood.

"I have read your thesis, and it is indeed excellent. Director Fu also speaks highly of you. Are you willing to sign up as a direct PhD candidate in our School of Mathematics? You will be my junior brother when you come, and I can support you in the school in the future.

I'm looking forward to you. And I'll tell you secretly, maybe next year our tutors will be able to become academicians." The sudden and frank invitation almost made Ning Qing stumble and fall to the ground.

Too unsubtle, bad review!
