Chapter 654 Join The Textbook Writing Team!
In normal classes, the teacher can spend a whole semester calmly and feed the students what needs to be said bit by bit. With face-to-face teaching, students can communicate easily with any ideas they have.
And what about the textbooks? It is also teaching students but not getting feedback. It is equivalent to preparing all the courses for the entire semester before the semester begins. There can be no deviations and mistakes because there is no opportunity to correct errors!
At the same time, we must consider the level of the students using the textbooks. Questions that students in Qingbei can understand may not be understood by students in the three textbooks. At what level of students should the textbooks be compiled?
The length of the textbook is also a big problem. If it cites a lot of examples like some Western textbooks, it will certainly make it easier for stupid students to understand, but the amount of knowledge will undoubtedly be greatly diluted and the thickness of the book will tend to be outrageous. If, like the old domestic textbooks, it is condensed and filled with practical information, the length can be controlled, but will the difficult parts cause students to waste energy and be forced to expand their learning elsewhere?
In fact, none of the above are too fatal problems, and polishing can make it about the same.
The most deadly thing is the content!
There is so much knowledge in one field, what specifically should be taught to students?
For many students, textbooks are the backbone of building a knowledge framework and will inevitably affect the academic direction of a large number of students and even the future development of the entire field!
Song He was under great pressure. He searched through the entire library, read all the textbooks at home and abroad, and at the same time studied a bunch of the latest monographs in various fields.
Finally, he sat at the computer desk in the dormitory, closed his eyes, and rows of bookshelves appeared around him!
The bookshelves are full of books, filled with all kinds of knowledge he has learned.
Song He thought, and quickly scanned each bookshelf, picking out some books and throwing them away!
Large groups of books rolled down the bookshelves and were swept away by the strong wind. For the first time, one third of the books were cleared. The library in my mind was much emptier. The bookshelves were automatically reorganized and the number was smaller.
These books almost all have repetitive content. Many books in the same field have similar content, but they just change the order and can be thrown away without hesitation.
Song He took a sip of tea and continued to sit alone in the dormitory. He closed his eyes and saw rows of bookshelves surrounding him.
His mind moved again, he quickly scanned the bookshelf, pulled out some more books, and killed them neatly!
These books are all "negative teaching materials". Some are wrong theories that have been falsified, some look very suspicious, and some are just nonsense. If they are included in college textbooks, they will only be ridiculed by the world.
The bookshelves were closed again, leaving only a dozen rows of bookshelves, which was still too many!
Song He calmed down and continued to sift through the books. This time the work became more meticulous. Thick books flew up from the bookshelf, and the pages flipped like a group of multi-winged moths. In the end, only a few pages of each book were torn out and put back. Bookshelf, throw away all the rest.
The bookshelf shrunk dramatically, until only a row of pages remained, jaggedly bunched together.
Song He opened his eyes, unable to filter anymore.
He turned on the computer, moved his hands over the keyboard, and tried to write teaching materials.
He plans to write two textbooks, one "Brain Science" and one "Biopharmaceuticals", which happen to be his two master's degrees.
But after editing, he found that it was not working and could not be used.
"Teacher, my superiors asked me to compile a set of textbooks instead of one." Song He sent a message asking.
"A set of textbooks? What do you mean? You don't want to publish several books in a row to form a series, do you?" Xiang Xiaotong replied.
"The content of a single volume is indeed too thin, so I thought of several volumes to form a complete set." Song He explained, "I try to compress it into two volumes. If it doesn't work, I will make three volumes. If it doesn't work, I will make four or five volumes. .”
"It shouldn't be possible, right? Let me ask for you." Xiang Xiaotong said.
Song He waited for half an hour, and the news came.
"It is recommended that you try to compile two versions, one single and one set, and submit them to the academician meeting for review at the same time. In the end, whichever one can pass can be used. The other version that cannot pass can be sold through other channels." Xiang Xiaotong replied.
Song He had a headache, but seemed to have no better solution, "Okay, then, teacher, I'll be prepared."
"I'm busy here and don't have the energy to help you. This time I have to rely on you." Xiang Xiaotong replied, "It is too difficult for you to compile textbooks. It is not a test of your mastery of cutting-edge technology. It’s a test of your teaching ability. You’ve only been a teacher for half a year, so be prepared to fail.”
"Understood. If it fails, I will contact the publishing house to print it myself and give it to my students." Song He replied.
He said so, but he was very confident and it was impossible to fail. Teacher Xiang actually fell into a misunderstanding. The people who are best at compiling teaching materials in the world are not experienced teachers. There is a kind of person who compiles teaching materials. The one who is more capable is a self-taught person!
What a coincidence, Song He is definitely very skilled in self-taught skills!
He knows how a student who knows nothing needs to learn from the most efficient angle, and he also knows what kind of after-school questions can hit the nail on the head and truly test the student's academic level!
Five days before the Spring Festival, the notice came!
Song He's final paper passed the acceptance test at the academician meeting with high scores and received unanimous praise!
In the entire Frontier University of Science and Technology, there are not many lecturers who have entered the teaching material writing team, only 26, with an average of only one or two in each college. Only two lecturers in the biology field have successfully entered the writing team, one is Song He, and the other is Yu Caiyi from Shenggong.
Soon, Song He was pulled into a group chat.
[Biology Textbook Project Exchange Group]
After joining the group, all members were first muted. University teachers and academic experts from all over the world came in in droves. Everyone basically knew each other or had known each other for a long time. If they were not muted, the group messages would definitely be as lively as firecrackers. .
Soon, the crowd grew to 490 people and stopped.
Gods gathered!
The leader of the group is Academician Hou, a great master in the field of agricultural science. He is good at increasing the yield of various fruits, pears and peaches. Every few years, the new fruits he breeds will sweep the Asian market.
When everyone arrived, Academician Hou jumped out to speak and announced important content!
