"Mr. Dong, I am very happy that you have chosen the National Economics major at the University of Trier." Seeing Dong Qiangqiang walk in, the professor stood up from his chair with a smile and extended his hand kindly, "On behalf of the Department of Economics, I welcome you. arrival."
Dong Qiangqiang was actually more nervous when he walked into the room than when he answered the question. When he saw the professor's statement, the stone hanging in his heart suddenly fell to the ground, and he felt relieved: it seemed that he no longer had to take the elementary level courses and could directly Participated in advanced level studies and exams.
"Thank you. I'm very happy too." Dong Qiangqiang tried his best to stay calm, and he was already thinking about calling his friends.
The professor turned around and picked up a piece of paper from his desk and handed it back to Dong Qiangqiang along with the original.
Dong Qiangqiang took all the materials with confidence and was about to thank him again when he saw two eye-catching red crosses.
His heart suddenly sank: It's over!
The professor seemed to have expected that he would be confused, and immediately said: "In the exchange just now, you have fully proved that you have indeed studied some courses in economics. The university recognizes these courses you have studied, that is, Check these (courses). However, if you want to study for a master's degree in political economics at the University of Trier, you must complete all the compulsory courses required for the junior course level. For these subjects that do not appear on your transcript, you Like all students studying this major, you must complete the corresponding exams or obtain the corresponding credits before you can start your subsequent advanced-level courses. If you have other supporting documents to supplement these uncertified courses, you can contact me Make an appointment with Ms. Zheng, the teaching assistant, and we can communicate again in a week. If you have any other questions, you can ask them now. I will be happy to answer your questions."
Dong Qiangqiang had already clearly seen the two subjects with a red cross on the course certification form. One was "Basic Theory of German Public Law" and the other was "Economics Seminar."
"Professor, I have no problem with the 'Economics Seminar', but the other subject is 'Basic Theory of German Public Law' and I am really a little confused. I am studying economics, do I need to learn German public law? And you see, I studied economic law for two semesters in China, and my grades are here..." Dong Qiangqiang's subtext is actually emphasizing: I am studying economics, not law. And for fear of being dazzled by the professor, he used his fingernails to mark the score of "Economic Law" on the domestic transcript.
"Mr. Dong, I saw your results." The professor waved his hand and said with a smile, "It is a good thing that you have studied economic law, but just studying economic law is not enough. In Germany, economic law belongs to social law. A branch, that is, the overlapping legal domain of public law and private law. Learning public law well can help you deepen your understanding when you study economic law in the future, because economic law involves both public law and private law. In addition, if you want to study at university in Germany, whether Whether it is political economics, business management, sociology, or psychology, these majors will require students to have considerable knowledge of public and private law. So we think you need to study seriously."
For this reason, no matter how stupid Dong Qiangqiang is, he can still tell that people think he is not professional enough. It seems that there is no use in talking more. The result of exempting classes should be a certainty and cannot be changed. Thinking of this, he nodded slightly, reached out his hand, and solemnly said: "Thank you, Professor. I have no problem, no need to make another appointment."
The professor's hand was warm and strong: "I wish you a good start."
The doctor and "Big Back Head" were just as they were at the beginning. They still didn't exchange any greetings with Dong Qiangqiang when he walked out of the office, as if they didn't exist at all.
While the professor and others were going to the bathroom, Zheng Chunhua called Dong Qiangqiang aside and asked for clarification.
"Actually, I think the result of your exemption is already very good." Zheng Chunhua analyzed, "After all, you only have one seminar credit in China, but here you have to take at least two seminars in national economics, so you can make up one It’s normal.”
Dong Qiangqiang nodded in agreement: "I mainly don't want to study German public law. I feel that it has nothing to do with me studying economics."
"It doesn't matter, but this is what this place requires. What else can you do?" Zheng Chunhua asked, "You must read it, right?"
"Not only study, but also strive to win (these two subjects) in one semester." Dong Qiangqiang made up his mind, "This way, I can start taking advanced courses next semester. I don't want to study for four or five years, it's too long."
"Actually, you can prepare for those two subjects and take advanced courses at the same time this semester. You just can't take the advanced exams this semester." Zheng Chunhua corrected, "There are many benefits of starting to take professional courses early. You can get in touch with them earlier. What you need to learn, get familiar with the professor’s accent, understand the teaching assistant’s style, do more exercises, read more designated textbooks, etc., so that when you really start studying for the advanced level next semester, you won’t be at a loss, self-doubt, and give up because you don’t understand the class. ”
Zheng Chunhua's analysis was clear and logical. Dong Qiangqiang nodded frequently and then asked: "It should be fine for me to attend the class, but no one will care if I go to sit in? I am still a junior student, attending an advanced class. Doesn't the professor care? Is the student sitting below qualified to listen? Or is he studying this major? Are there no roll call and attendance records?"
"Who cares about you? I have never heard of a German professor being so boring." Zheng Chunhua shrugged, "All the classes I have attended are not attended by names or attendance. The professor doesn't care who the students below are. No matter what major, whether you are studying at a junior or senior level, he is only responsible for teaching, oh, and wiping the blackboard."
Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself: It seems that what he learned about college classes in the preparatory course is true. German universities and German professors are really big-hearted.
Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang was silent, Zheng Chunhua said earnestly: "Unlike in China, no one here is watching whether you go to class every day, read or not, do your homework, or take exams. Although you have studied preparatory courses, I still want to Let me emphasize to you again: studying here mainly depends on self-awareness and self-discipline.”
"Thank you for the reminder, I will remember it. Thanks to your help this time. Thank you very much!" Dong Qiangqiang bowed slightly.
"You don't have to be so polite. I can't afford to get up early." Zheng Chunhua looked behind Dong Qiangqiang and said, "They are back and I have to get busy again. Let's meet at the entrance of the cafeteria at 12 o'clock?"
Dong Qiangqiang knew what she meant and already had a plan in mind. He nodded and said, "Okay, see you there or not."
