　　头脑风暴

　　1. 你已经或者曾经是大学生么?简单描述一件在大学生活中给你印象最深刻的事情，并说说它给你带来了什么影响。

　　用户回答参考：

　　● Yeah, one of the most important things in my campus life is occurred in the second year after attending college. When I was selected to be a sub-leader of college student' union, I had to plan activities and work though the next year by myself, and no one will tell you what to do or not. By that time, I first realize how difficult it is to plan a complete activity and well organize the students under your hand. During that year, I pay a lot to this position, but I feel extremely happy about the work that makes me learn so many social skills and gain more friendship and experience.

　　● I am a university student now. When I was a freshman, there was a position in our university, a volunteer of the university's history museum, who played the role of introducing our university's history to the guests from outside including the other schools' teachers and officers. I was really interested in this work, so I applied for it. For the aim to be a professional guide, I devoted my spare time to learn the history by heart. Eventually, I performed so perfectly that all the guests gave me high praises. From this experience, I recognized that "no pain no gain".

　　● I'm a university graduate and I graduated in June this year. What impresses me most in my college life is the period that my friends and I live off the campus for the better preparation for our graduate admission examination. We cooked and have meals together and chatted during the meal. And we worked hard to prepare for our final examination. In this period characterized by joyfulness, happiness enriches and hard-working, I experienced the warmth of friendship and learned to overcome problems and inconveniences.

　　2. 综合你的大学生活，你认为你在大学得到了什么?(知识，经验，爱情……)

　　用户回答参考：

　　● To be frank, little knowledge did I memorize after graduation. Much of the knowledge acquired in class has already slipped my mind. Anyway, my college life left me cherishes friendship, love and much enjoyable time in memory. The most precious present my university life gives me is my boyfriend. From my point of view, boyfriend is not only the one who shares my happiness and burdens my sorrow, but also the one who take care of me and accompanies me till our life, which means a forever partner.

　　● I think college is a general school that I can learn not only knowledge, but also every aspect of skills. For example, "how to treat people" is a difficult skill differing from person to person, such as friend, lover, and parent, enemy and so on. Another aspect is "how to choose" which is so important for the future life. The most near things we often think about is what we do after graduation among going abroad, going graduate school and working directly which leads variety lives.

　　● 大学教给了我很多东西：1. 做任何事情都要有始有终，即我们需要坚持，这就要求培养我们坚忍不拔的性格。2. 经验：经验来自于实践，比如说为人处事的经验，在这方面，我们要对我们所交往的人要以诚相待。3. 学习的习惯：在未上大学以前，我们所学的知识只是单纯的记忆，并没有任何的理解和应用，而在上大学以后，我发现，每当我学习一个新的内容，我都会找到它的原理，分析它以前是怎么应用的，进而彻底的学会怎么应用它。4. 知识：在大学里，我们可以学习到更高等的知识，而这样的知识是在工作或其他的地方无法学习到的，这些知识可以为我们以后的发展提供一个坚实的基础。5. 爱情：在上大学以前，我们不懂什么是爱情，只是觉得一个好的外表可以吸引异性，但是当我们在大学里，我相信很多人都会有一次美好的爱情，喜欢一个人不能仅仅看其外表，更应该看他具有的品格，比如说是否具有爱心，是否有个坚忍不拔的毅力，是否可以与同学和睦相处，有没有独立，负责任的品质。

　　3. 你认为中国的大学教育还存在什么问题?你有什么好的解决方案吗?

　　用户回答参考：

　　● The universities of China has a large of quantity, but quality. The long history of Chinese culture about seeking success and the backgrounds of realism without religion about most Chinese leads a prominent phenomenon that study in university is to get a graduate certification to satisfied many requirements the employers required. Hence, many students are not concentrating the process of learning knowledge and many professors are not concentrating the education quality. The essential reason about this is no matter how outstanding a university can teach their students about research, they care more about how many students are employed after graduate. Nowadays, ministry of education of China advocates reformation of higher education. They hope more students could learn from processes rather than the old way that just listening at the seat. But many students are not adopting this, because after this the students are still facing the same problems. If the reformation of higher education wants to have some effectively changes, the way to change is to change the conceptions the society held and bring up the students really concentrate the research.

　　● 中国的大学教育太过应试，从现在大学生的学习状况就可以看出，很多学生平时上课迟到旷课，到了期末开始埋头苦读挑灯夜战，并且有这么一句话说大学学的是最后一个月甚至是一个星期，并且学生们照样及格甚至拿高分。在这样的状况下，是不能培养出有独立思维的学生的，并且在这样的状况下我们也不能保证学生是否真正的学到了知识。对于这种问题，只能从本质上去解决，任何一种规章制度都没有用。首先得从学生的思想上改变现有的观念，要让学生不仅仅在考期，更重要的是在平时就主动投入精力到学习中去，让他们建立一个学习是自主的概念;然后，要培养学生发现问题解决问题的能力，如果知识死读书，那样的书呆子对社会是没有任何用处的，就算他到了社会中也只会生搬硬套的使用那些书上的死东西，这样是不会有任何好结果的;最后，得从学校的根本体制做出变化，现在的大学扩招太过严重，造成了老师学生比例的不协调，老师没法照顾到所有的学生，于是就阻碍了其发展，这也是很多优秀的高中生到了大学变成废物的一个因素，学生多的现状虽然一下难以改变，但是我们可以为学生提供自由发展的机会，为学生提供更多的便利，比如说使用实验室，找老师指导项目等等，现在大学老师的重心不是学生，而是各种各样的项目，这有违老师的本职，所以应该帮助其回到正道上来，而不是在歪路上越走越远。

　　● 中国的大学对学生的要求不够严格，通常和国外的“宽进严出”正好相反，要考上大学很难，但是一旦考上了大学，要想毕业十分简单，几乎所有的大学生都能够顺利毕业。这样就导致了很多大学生在学校没有学到真正地东西，只是在学校虚度光阴，这对于大学生本身来说是耽误自己的青春，对于国家来说，大学培养出的部分人才都达不到社会需求的标准，同时很多学生虚度光阴也是对教学资源的一种浪费。解决方法就是中国的大学应当改变现行的考试制度，加强考试的客观性、公正性以及有效性，通过考试能够准确地测试出学生的相关课程知识的掌握，对于达不到毕业要求的学生，坚决不予毕业，只有这样，才能保证大学生能够真正地学有所得，不浪费大学的时间和资源;2. 中国的大学实行入校就确定专业，并且实行调剂制度，所以很多大学生一入校就被调剂到不适合自己的专业，从而产生抵触厌学情绪。解决方法是效仿其它国家，大学入校不分专业，学生可以根据自己的兴趣与专长选择适合自己的课程学习，等到大二再根据自身情况选择专业;3. 中国的有些非名校大学奖学金过少，而助学金过多，这对于那些勤奋刻苦的同学来说是一个打击，解决方法是国家应该投入更多的资金到高等教育方面，让那学非名校大学能够有更多的奖学金来激励同学们认真学习。

　　4. 你有没有上过大学的朋友?你认为如果他们上大学的话，能得到什么改变?

　　用户回答参考：

　　● I do have some friends haven't been in university. Before this winter vacation I never thought we could have something difference in our abilities, until one of them asked me "What's the program called free door?" I know, even he doesn't know the policy of Chinese government that some websites are forbidden to use for Chinese. This is not a phenomenon about the difference between the amount of knowledge the students who are in university and who are not. But the awareness of information, cultures, policies and every aspects in our life. It's a way of thinking. Education of university for undergraduate is a stage to teach them the way to think and to learn knowledge by the processes of thinking.

　　● I have many friends who are under-graduates and graduates. Everyone differs from each other，and they could acquire their distinctive experiences during their college life. Generally speaking, college life could influence our way of think, affects our values, and change our personalities. In the university, we could communicate with people from various backgrounds and with teachers and professors from diverse fields. Through those communications, we acquire much fresh information and ideas, which could influence our values and change our personalities in a long run.

　　● Yes, some of my friends do not have a chance to step into the university and it is really a pity for them. I am not sure whether they would have a better life if they had received the university education, but if so, they would have a totally distinct way of life. The university, of course, could bring them a lot of new friends, most of whom are not local and this would help them broad their eyes. The university is the bridge between society and the school and it would help them better get used to the society life.
