The next day, Schiller finished class and collected the homework on time as usual. However, today he found that the class had 32 homework assignments, which were neatly handed in, and judging from the thickness, they all seemed to have enough words.
He was a little strange. Although he usually pushed for homework very hard, there were always one or two people who didn't submit it. Among the many people who submitted it, there were also many people who were fooled and wrote two pages at random with a piece of paper sandwiched between them. Pile up blank paper, or simply copy some random articles and hand them in.
But this time, he stood on the podium, flipped through it, and found that everyone had written papers seriously. Although some of them were not very good at writing, and it looked like they had never written a paper before, at least they I tried hard to stay close to the topic. Although my wording sounded like a hopeless illiterate, at least I tried my best to stay on topic.
When the students saw him turning over their homework, they didn't dare to express their anger. In the past, class was about to end at this time, and the students were packing their things, but now no one made any move, and they all stayed in their seats. , waiting for Schiller to speak.
The reason for this situation is simple. Just last night, the whole class knew that Schiller went directly to Gotham's underground king Falcone in order to pursue Evans for homework.
In the era without Batman, let's call this era the "pre-Batman era." In this era, Falcone and the twelve gang families under his rule have the greatest say in Gotham.
How powerful are these gangster families? Sal Maroney, the top tycoon in the East Area, is just a lackey of the Lauren family, and the Lauren family ranks last among the twelve gang families.
The first one on the list is the Falcone family, and the old godfather Falcone has the final say on all twelve families.
In this era, you don’t have to know who the mayor of Gotham City is, or even who Bruce Wayne is, but you have to know the surnames of Fanecor and the other twelve gangster families, otherwise you There's no way you can survive in Gotham.
Ever since they knew that Schiller had gone to Gotham Godfather to pursue his homework, all the students' homework-making process last night was quite thrilling.
Schiller was unusually happy, so he said: "The situation of this assignment looks very optimistic. It seems that everyone has finished writing it more seriously. Then after I review the assignments, I will give everyone extra Usually, there are a few people who have written better among them. If you have no intention of going to graduate school, you can come to my office to talk about letters of recommendation..."
As a result, the classroom suddenly burst into warm applause. It was not clear whether it was for the reward Schiller said or for themselves who had survived the disaster.
And all this was seen by Principal Seldon.
As for Seldon, he is called persistence at best, or a traitor at worst. Whoever he targets will definitely try every means to get at him. Although Schiller's tough attitude prevents him from taking immediate action, he has always Looking for opportunities.
The principal can mobilize the surveillance cameras in all classrooms at Gotham University and observe the teachers' lectures. This function has become Seldon's best way to monitor Schiller.
In the next few days, all the students in Schiller's class were as quiet as chickens. Evans took the initiative to take on the role of monitor, collecting, handing in, and distributing homework every day, organizing classroom discipline, and the entire teaching situation was in order. It's orderly and no one can find fault with it.
This gave Seldon an illusion.
When he worked in Princeton's Academic Affairs Office, most students were basically at this level. After coming to Gotham University, he was busy establishing himself and did not take the initiative to understand the students' level. In his opinion, , Homework is a student's bounden duty. Although Gotham University is not ranked as well as Princeton, it seems that the quality of its students is not much worse.
At least that's how it was in Schiller's class.
Seldon only focused on observing Schiller's class. In Schiller's class, all the students were quiet and completed their learning tasks very well. This made Schiller's teaching arrangements go smoothly.
Seldon then had other thoughts.
As we all know, the campus alcohol ban he implemented is stuck in a stuck position.
Most of the people who are willing to follow this plan have also handed over their drinks, but those who are unwilling are all die-hard elements among them. This group of people would rather resist with guns than let the school interfere with their right to drink.
Students can resist with guns, but Seldon, the principal, cannot force students not to drink with guns. He is not a native of Gotham, and his thinking is still in a civilized society, so this plan is stuck in a It's quite an embarrassing position and there is no way to continue to implement it.
When they found out that they refused to drink the fine wine, Seldon wanted to propose a toast again.
Seldon was also a professor before taking on administrative work. He graduated from Oxford University with a major in modern literature and taught at both the University of California and the Metropolitan University.
Seldon felt that in order to control Gotham University, he must also get involved with the students. Being welcomed by everyone like Harvey was also a good route.
So he wanted to teach a class himself.
As it happens, Gotham University has almost no literature department and only one teacher who teaches basic courses. The literature and philosophy majors have not admitted students for many years. After all, this damn ghost place really has no soil for literature and philosophy.
To revitalize the literature department and take the lead in reviving the literature major, if he can recruit a group of students from the liberal arts college who were taught by himself, then he will have his own direct descendants in this school, this is Seldon's plan.
And it seemed that Schiller's class was very comfortable, and the teaching objectives were implemented well. In short, the weather was sunny, the rain stopped, and Seldon felt that he could do it again.
Although he is a university professor, the teaching process is not much different from teaching in elementary schools. Seldon is like a cloud player watching videos. Watching Schiller teach from the other side of the monitor, he feels relaxed.
Schiller's class process is just to walk into the classroom, wait for the students to sit down, and then take out the textbook and start teaching. There will be one or two discussion sessions in the middle. After the discussion, either Schiller will ask questions, or the group will send someone to speak. After that, Schiller made a round of summary, and then talked about some other content. He collected the homework when the get out of class was about to end, and there was a section to review the homework at the beginning of the next class.
This is how university classrooms were in the 20th century. There were no fancy slides. Most teachers just read from the text. This is especially true for subjects like psychology that require a lot of memorization of theoretical knowledge. If you don’t explain the book thoroughly, then you won’t think about anything. Learn to understand.
This process is indeed not difficult to watch in the classroom video. If the students cooperate, the teaching objectives can even be ended early, and they can still chat for a while near the end.
After the students began to become particularly obedient, Schiller was also willing to talk to them about the crazy murderers he had seen. Although Schiller could no longer remember many details due to amnesia, this legendary experience still made the students The young boys listened with gusto, and they discovered that this particularly stern professor did have his own merits.
When announcing the establishment of the School of Liberal Arts, Seldon fired the teacher of the basic literature course and then started teaching himself.
Just like most cloud players who watch game videos, when watching the video, they feel that they can do it themselves, and they point and point like crazy from God’s perspective, but when they actually get into the game, they are basically killed, and they quit and delete the game. Refunds are made in one go.
Seldon is no exception.
After the class actually started, he discovered that Schiller's class was completely an illusion. There were no obedient students here. The basic literature course and the basic psychology course were similar to a certain extent, that is, they required a lot of memorization and writing. paper.
The first time I handed in my homework, out of dozens of homework assignments for the whole class, I only handed in two, and one of them only had half the word count.
Seldon showed his tough politician style and denounced this behavior of not handing in homework in class. So when he handed in his homework for the second time, he didn't turn in any of it.
For example, some people are naturally more interested in science courses such as mathematics and physics, but no Gotham University student will listen carefully to complicated and boring courses such as basic literature courses.
Students do all kinds of things in class, sleeping is considered a relatively good hobby, they eat, chat loudly, slam game controllers, and even fly leaves in public.
No matter how much Seldon yelled, no one paid him any attention. Even if he was so angry that he slammed the door and walked out, the class would just turn into the same chaotic self-study.
Seldon also doesn't understand Gotham. If he did, he would know that the students are good enough and that the quality of people in this city who can go to college is really high enough.
In this city, there are no threats to classmates with guns, no physical bombing of schools, and no kidnapping of teachers and professors. The students of Gotham can already be called the city's civilized model.
But Seldon was still almost pissed off by them.
In particular, many students knew that Seldon was responsible for the damn alcohol prohibition, so they began to protest in Seldon's class. Someone took a whole box of champagne, pulled out the cork in the front row, and yelled at Seldon. She sprayed him with wine and even organized a drinking party in class.
Seldon shouted that he would deduct credits and expel them. This group of people didn't care at all. Seldon expelled two students, and the remaining students went even crazier. As a result, one dark night, Seldon was walking in the school. , his head was smashed by two wine bottles thrown by someone in the grass, and he was admitted to the hospital.
He could never understand why the students who behaved like quails in Schiller's class turned into crazy extremists when he came to them.
Maybe it's just that he hasn't heard Schiller say: Here, the only ones who can deal with criminals are criminals.
