Chapter 1686 Engage in some Academics (Ⅱ)

"That's right! Teacher, you are right!"

Joan nodded habitually at first, but after thinking about it, if he agrees with the tutor's point of view and admits that he taught a "good student", wouldn't it be the same as boasting about his excellence?

His skin was not thick enough for that, it was not appropriate to nod for a while, and it was not appropriate to shake his head, so he quickly replaced the answer with another question to cover up the embarrassing situation.

"Teacher, Mr. Dean may not be so easily persuaded by you, right?"

"You guessed it right! That old stubborn Franklin, after listening to my well-founded rebuttal, even sneered and asserted that I was boasting, and said that my teaching method was equivalent to letting go of sheep. Joan, you can have today's achievements, all thanks to You work hard on your own, and instead of fulfilling my responsibilities, I, the mentor, have held you back. The only thing that can set an example for you is 'thick-skinned'... Listen to what the old guy said What's the name? It's just too hurtful!"

Professor Moriarty jumped up angrily, pacing back and forth in the living room with his hands behind his back.

Joan also felt that Dean Franklin's criticism was too much. In fact, he felt that the tutor was of great help to him, but this "sheep-herding" teaching method may not be suitable for other students, and it is indeed easy to cause misunderstandings .

Professor Moriarty complained for a while, calmed down after venting, and somewhat reflected. He turned to Joan and said, "I have a clear conscience in teaching, but old man Franklin criticized me for not doing my job properly in scientific research. A thesis, I have to admit, is a bit of a stretch..."

"Mentor, what's so frustrating about this? Isn't it just a thesis? I'll help you get it done!" Joan stood up and said excitedly, "I just have a first draft of a thesis in my hand, and I plan to submit it to the "Aofa Newsletter" ", please help me to review it, and if there is no problem, please hang up as your corresponding author."

"You kid is serving in the front line and you still have time to write a thesis? People are right, you are indeed a 'thesis machine'!" Professor Moriarty took the manuscript handed over by the student, looked at the abstract, and showed a smile on his face. Smile: "Self clustering and multi-headed spellcasting...very interesting subject."

"Then when I submit the manuscript, I will help you sign the corresponding author by the way?" Joan finally confirmed again.

Professor Moriarty shook his head lightly: "If this was the idea I came up with, I would be proud to sign my name, but unfortunately it's not, Joan, I have never participated in your work, I can't do it cheaply. occupy."

"How can this be regarded as 'taking advantage'?" Joan couldn't laugh or cry, "The student is the author, the supervisor is the corresponding author, and other laboratories have always been like this, so don't make trouble..."

Professor Moriarty gave him a blank look, and asked proudly: "Is it true that this has always been the case?"

Joan was speechless.

Professor Moriarty patted him on the shoulder, and his words revealed the true emotions in his heart: "My good student, I am very touched that you have such a heart, but I, as a tutor, also have my own principles, which do not belong to I can't take my achievements."

"But, what about Mr. Dean..."

Joan can't help but feel worried about her mentor's career prospects.

"This little thing won't bother me, academics or something, just do it casually, publish two papers, and just get away with old man Franklin's foolishness."

Professor Moriarty smiled confidently, opened the desk drawer, took out a booklet as thick as a dictionary, and shook it at Joan.

"This notebook is full of ideas that I write down casually every day. There are almost a hundred of them. Any idea can be developed into a paper. It is not difficult to publish "Aofa Newsletter."

"Wow! Are there really hundreds of ideas?" Joan's eyes lit up, and he eagerly reached out to the instructor, "The little book...give me Kangkang too!"

"Hey...you can grab it yourself if you want it, and I'll give it to you if you get it!" Professor Moriarty had a smirk on his face, and deliberately raised his hand high, but he didn't want to show it to him.

Qiao An was embarrassed to jump up and grab it, so he had to give up resentfully.

Professor Moriarty sat back in the armchair, crossed his legs and flipped through the notes, muttering to himself from time to time, and grabbed a pen to draw circles.

Joan wanted to laugh a little at first, but after thinking about it, when he was concentrating on thinking about the problem, he might also look like a demon.

"It's decided!" Professor Moriarty suddenly jumped up, looking extremely excited.

"Mentor, what have you decided?" Joan asked curiously.

"I just selected three very interesting original 4-level spells from my notes. They are still semi-finished products. As long as they are perfected, and the research and development process is written into three papers, they can be published as results."

It is a very common practice to use original spells as a thesis topic. Scholars at the level of Professor Moriarty would never optimize an existing spell by "removing the east to make up for the west" and then publish it under the banner of originality.

This kind of flooding method can at most confuse publications of the level of "Aofa Review", and it can't even publish "Aofa Journal", let alone "Aofa Newsletter".

Joan believes that the "original" mentioned by the instructor is definitely his first creation. The instructor's positioning of these three spells is "interesting", so let's not mention the practicality, at least these spells must be fun!

Thinking of this, Joan couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

"Mentor, I just happen to be a little free recently, why don't I be your assistant and help you complete the research and development of these three spells?"

"Of course you are welcome." Professor Moriarty smiled reassuringly.

"Mentor, why did you choose a 4-level spell as a thesis topic? You want to publish a high-scoring paper in a core journal. The higher the level of the original spell, the better. With your spell-casting ability, why don't you try to invent a 7-level or higher level spell?" Spells? Then you can vote for "Exploration of Arcane Law", and if you win, Dean Franklin will stop nagging you in the future." Joan asked inexplicably.

"You have so many questions, you are more verbose than old man Franklin!"

Professor Moriarty showed impatience on his face, but faced the students' expectant eyes, he patiently explained.

"As you said, the original spells posted on "Arcane Communication" usually have no lower than level 4, but they are rarely higher than level 6. Original spells with level 7 can be voted for "Arcane Exploration". There are a few ideas for high-level spells, but firstly, developing such spells is cumbersome and requires too much time and effort. Second, once the development is successful and published publicly, old man Franklin will not reprimand me anymore, but I Worried that the old man will go to another extreme, and he will retire on his own, forcing me to take over from him and succeed him as the dean, won't it attract the jealousy of more colleagues?"
