(Repost self-irrigation park, comparison, know how failed our education)
Tsinghua's undergraduate five years, like many comrades for a bitter effort, in 1998, finally in the North American continent after 98 years. It is a deep experience in these two years. I have a deep understanding, and I can understand the taste of the study of the University of North America. I believe many of the domestic mobilized DDMMs are still in a dream and embarrassment stage. As I have two years ago, I am here, I hope to make a comparison and introduce, let everyone can be able to be in the country. Learn about the differentiation of the learning life of Tsinghua and North America. I chose the name of China and the United States in China and the United States: Tsinghua and MIT. From a sonistic, there is no school in the United States to put the science-shaped elements and the top ten in the country in the country. Although MIT has always been the leader in the science and engineering, the California Institute of Technology, Stanford, Berkeley and other famous schools are not too much. Like Stanford is a unique attraction in Silicon Valley, producing Yang Zhiyuan capitalists. From the level of aggregation of excellent students, probably Mit plus Stanford is not enough to fight with Tsinghua. TOEFL and GRE don't have a white test after all, can understand 80% of the class. Originally with a single discharge of the content of the teacher's lecture, only once, no record, and then never brought it. There is not much difficulties in reading a text (which is greater in GRE). American students are really different, and they don't have to work, and one hundred points is less than fifty-fifth, and it is generally Americans. (Japan, Indonesia and other countries "English names of the English names read without Americans). However, the curriculum here is really not easy. Generally, the choice of three classes is standard (many people only choose two doors); people who can go to four classes are different; five courses? It is best not to think. I have a "computer system design" in the first semester here, and the hardships are really difficult. Ten homework has been paid in the fifteen weeks, and six course design. Some design is also divided into several parts, divided into design reports. Therefore, the design report is probably about ten times. The most horrible thing is once, six jobs or design reports within ten days, and at that time, several other courses were in the exam. I have been complained, the teacher said: "I am sorry. But this course is very important, please don't work." Students start design from the general logical timing circuit (counting electricity has been forgotten); core It is the self-design "Narrows, although the sparrow is full", Alu, single-instruction cycle CPU (Single Cycle CPU); Multi-Cycle CPU (Multi-Cycle CPU); for the final implementation of the Pipe line 32-bit MIPS CPU and Cache. One class, all knowledge related to computer CPUs will be integrated. Hardware design levels have also been greatly improved (it is too tired). In Tsinghua's undergraduate course, this kind of course is not found in such a truth. The computer-based TEC-II test computer has been exclusively in the country, but the experimental arrangement did not touch the core (the TEC-II is a computer when Microending). The lack of moving hand design link is a relatively superficial understanding of the principle of CPU. At the beginning I made a micro-instruction experiment, I was a feeling of Mourns, but now I found far enough.
As for the level of "microcomputer principle", the level of the "Microcomputer Principle" is not used, and I still think of a little heartache in one sentence - "Learn the eight-bit machine, the sixteen machine, the principle of the 32-bit machine is the same." "How can MIPS may comply with the 16th CPU? At Stanford, undergraduates also have similar computer system design courses, but students are required to be realized with VHDL language (today IC design standard language), Tsinghua's undergraduate students will use VHDL? In Tsinghua, the "Operating System" has been "operating system", and it is necessary to make four project, six people, and can be handed over. I didn't have to panic at the end two or three weeks before the end of the time, saying that there is a cow in the last two weeks, everyone can take a ride. The situation I am here is different, and it is also four project, three people group, and pay a project every three weeks. If there is too much place, it is subject to the question, the penalty method is deducted 50 points (full points 100), and the aproned precedent is presented. The school's time is at 11:59, 59 seconds, and the online operation is not prolonged for half a second, and the time transmission stops, no one can make it. So everyone only sits down and brave. In fact, it is unreasonable for three weeks because the second week is finished with Project. The only way is to stay up late - the third week, from the evening to two or three o'clock in the morning, the dozens of workstations in the public computer room are unprocated. Almost everyone must stay upset continuously; some people began to support it in the morning, and There is still no shortage of Six or 7 points. The teacher showed a white cloth when he was in the first class, and the book "I announced the surrender" and dozens of signatures. This gift is hanging by the teacher on the wall of the student under Project. And I feel only in this class: I start to understand that the operation of "operating system" and "computer principles" in Tsinghua, the computer principle are embodied. There is another VLSI design course like the United States in Tsinghua 's hard to find its designs practices. The VLSI design course here is deep, and the students can make a real ASIC chip, then take their own design to Silicon Valley or other work interviews, say: "This is what I made." Tsinghua probably no real "Enterprise" Integrated Circuit Design Test Course - this is not surprising, all China is now making a panel rather than "film." The professor of American universities has a high degree of seriousness, but any professor is not allowed to be plagiarized. I have already mentioned some in front of this. There is a professor's words that are representative: "It is difficult to find plagiarism; but I will do my best." Another common feature is that they generally don't dull, let you want to sleep. Although their humor is not as much as Song Hao in the New Oriental, it is often just right: such as a professor, "Some hackers just look at it, like women to visit the mall"; have a professor to answer a difficult problem When I gave a dollar, I said that when I had a question in a class, I said, "It depends on the actual situation (ITDepends", the professor says "How to speak like politicians" ... In short, here you generally can't touch it is common in Tsinghua. Teacher "facial apple". The responsibility of comparative professors is admirable. When a professor heavier in the student courses, leaving the phone in the home to the students, telling the students that you can call your call before ten o'clock.
I have a classmate to repair a class. The last project is completed at three o'clock in the middle of the night, and I am so happy that I have a new E-mail, I found a new e-mail, I have worked in the middle of the night, and I have designed a design. The new Project is a student. For example, American faculty is very none, and there is generally no country to invest this. If you can't make results, you will be quite difficult. Assistant Professor, an associate professor, is unlike the country. In PRINCETON, you can't get a lifelong position within five years (Tensure), please leave away. Most of Princeton Most Assistant Professors are this destiny. A professor in my school chemistry is the PRINCETON, and now it is already the character of the leader in a certain field (God, Princeton is too horizontal). Like this kind of person, Princeton will use its huge premium, and generous treatment and good research conditions attract people back. A few days ago and domestic classmates, I heard that a bachelor's undergraduate classmate now is going to repair the nine classes. The next semester is specifically for the boss. Another master's student is in the middle and half semester. First, in the US curriculum standard, it is about to die; secondly, the United States will generally let our students participate in research work rather than doing repetitive projects. Ph.D. students in the United States generally have a qualification exam, while the master's period is over. The form of an emerging topic is proposed, and the proposition, meaning and program feasibility of the five-person review team review questions. Through qualification exam, you can start your paper on this course. If someone has issued a phased research results during the comment period, you must modify the topic and even come from the beginning (make a review, you have to prepare for the preparation, you need more than half a year, full waste Focus on the back). In the preparation of the qualification examination, you should also take a course. Who has time to travel? A lot of professors have given learning students to prepare for qualification exams. This kind of examination is relaxed, UCLA and Caozhou Institute of Technology doctoral qualification exams have such a test: Several professors from a new published article (doctoral students can't read or not in special fields) Question, let doctoral student propose solutions within two or three days (people have made a post in several months), with this test of students' depression of the frontier research. This test sometimes has passed. Qualified standards must pass four to five times in ten times, can't pass, don't say forever. The tutor may help, but the California Institute of Technology clearly stipulates that the doctoral student in the California Institute of Science and Technology has no good results. I know that a girl Berkeley, a northern big biological department, who is finally fighting, and now Silicon Valley A bio company works, more than 20,000 annual salary (this money is not very mixed in the price of silicon valley that has risen in price). It is said that the six-year-old doctoral graduate in the California Institute of Technology is a genius, and some doctoral students spend nine years. Tsinghua's Ph.D. is very high, but sometimes the tutor will let the students do not have to participate in their own exams, sometimes when they do the paper research, then I will find a way to make your paper not bathable ... Operating System "This class MIPS simulation platform and basic code (not Linux or minix) are designed by a professor by Berkeley, now uses a number of universities.
