Chapter 2716 Collassburg University
At the palace banquet last night, Joan had already met Ms. Nikita, and she was not so restrained when they met again today. She drank a glass of Qing Dynasty, a specialty of Ms. Dean’s hometown—the Arcane City State “Lighthouse Mountain”—in the office. God Tea, we chatted about some business matters.
Joan is a specially-appointed visiting professor at Colosseum University. It stands to reason that one elective course should be offered, and at least a few lectures should be held. However, after learning that he had no intention of doing so, Dean Nikita proposed Don't arrange teaching tasks for him, just do the topics you are interested in.
Of course, Joan didn't spend his days in vain at Collasberg University, so he still had to carefully prepare the opening report, and after it was finished, he would show it to the dean for review.
Joan has two ready-made topics at hand, namely the society and ecology of the Odyssian mind flayers and the Udinos beholders. The materials have been collected and the outlines of the papers have been written. I wrote it during my tenure at Fort University and published two "Exploration of Austrian Law", and it should be no problem to get a score of 90 or so.
"Dr. Vinda, our college has been established for less than seven years. We have confidence in the teaching level and the strength of the teachers. The only thing is that we lack accumulation in scientific research and cannot produce enough results. When we go out to communicate with other schools, It's always going to embarrass me."
"These two topics of yours are very remarkable. If you finish the questions successfully, you will definitely bring glory to our college, and at least you will be able to win two high-scoring top journal articles!"
"Of course, we can't let you spend your hard work in vain. I will help you apply for any funds that can be applied for at the national level, at the ministerial level, and within our departments. The two projects add up. The 100,000 Jintaler scientific research funding is still enough, if it is not enough, I will help you find a way, such as sponsorship from the corporate world, you can also consider it."
Qiao An was deeply moved by Madam Dean's enthusiasm, and quickly told the truth: "In fact, we don't need that much money..."
"It counts as much as you can use, and the rest of the funds are considered allowances. Dr. Vader can arrange it on his own. For example, he can hire a few students as experimental assistants, raise mice, and clean up. As for reimbursement, I can find someone to help you deal with it." Now, I don't think you are the kind of person who can bear to do such trivial things."
Madam Dean joked cheerfully.
"Uh... You really hit the spot."
Qiao An scratched her head in embarrassment, it was really troublesome to pay the bill or something!
After bidding farewell to Madam Dean, Joan went to the library.
The library of Collasburg University is similar in structure and borrowing method to the library of Midgard University, but there are also differences.
Collasberg University is a public university directly under the Ministry of Education of the Far East. It is positioned as a non-profit institution of higher learning that trains talents for the country.
Based on this kind of public welfare positioning, the Far East National University of Currasberg adopts the national entrance examination method. As long as the students are admitted through formal channels, all tuition fees are free. Copying the spell scrolls corresponding to their own qualifications in the library is also a There is no need to spend copper plates.
This is quite different from universities in the New World.
Institutions of higher learning in the New World are almost all self-financed institutions. The tuition fees must be set very high, and the admissions process is not limited to the exam. If you can get a strong recommendation letter or donate a large sum of money to the school, you don’t need to take the exam. You can still go to school.
When Qiao An was a teenager, the high tuition fees were his biggest burden on the way to school. In order to pay the tuition fees, he suffered a lot in the early years.
I still remember that when I left Leiden College, I wrote a letter to the dean, Mr. Jefferson, expressing my sorrow that the high tuition fees have caused great pressure on the students from poor families, and I hope the school can change. .
However, after so many years, Joan returned to his alma mater to inquire about it, and it seemed that nothing had changed.
Today, high tuition fees are still a barrier for young people to enter Leiden College and Midgard University. Many poor and diligent children are either rejected or can only apply for student loans.
The student loans that are almost "usury" are even more powerful, overwhelming the poor students, and binding generations of young people on the shuttle bus from the school directly to the social animal work.
In contrast, the Far Eastern State University of Korrasberg is really considerate to students.
Not only are the fees waived, but there are few "special admissions" that rely on money and contacts. No wonder there are more than 20,000 students in the school, while Leiden College and Midgard University have less than 5,000 students. If things go on like this, the gap between the New World and the Far East in terms of the quantity and quality of reserve talents will surely widen.
Aware of the huge differences in educational concepts and school-running systems between his hometown and the Far East, Qiao An couldn't help but sigh. He hoped that after the victory of the War of Independence, the Continental Congress could learn from the experience of the Far East and make major reforms in education.
If there is such a day, Qiao An is willing to donate half of his net worth to run a school, and contribute to the public welfare education in his hometown, so that more poor children can afford to study and go to school, and have the opportunity to use knowledge to change themselves fate.
Withdrawing his messy thoughts, Joan connected to the cloud network and logged on to the page specially set up by the Austrian Law Library of the University of Colasberg on the "cloud network".
It is more convenient to look up the catalog of spell scrolls online than looking through the bookcase, and it can be operated remotely.
Students and teachers of the school do not have to visit the library in person, they can log on to the online page of the library in their own dormitory or off-campus apartment to find the required documents.
Joan opened the collection catalog and spent half an hour browsing through it to select the books he was interested in.
Most of the published academic journals, he has read in the libraries of Leiden College and Midgard University, but some relatively unpopular treatises have aroused his interest. There are a total of two hundred volumes, and he can find time to look through them. .
The library of Corasberg University also has a large collection of teaching materials on supermagic skills. These are treasures that are not open to ordinary students in the libraries of Leiden College and Midgard University. However, here they provide free borrowing, which can be regarded as Kolas. A benefit unique to the University of Fort.
Qiao An looked through the catalog of super magic textbooks, and there was only one volume "Materials for Spellcasting and Freedom" that he had not yet mastered, so he picked it out and read it first.
As for the spells in the library, although there are a lot of spells, there are thousands of spells from ring 0 to ring 9, but most of them are "familiar faces" that Joan has seen at Leiden College or Midgard University, and most of them are spells. It belongs to the kind of old antiques, "Tears of the Times", which have either been eliminated by better versions, or it is difficult to find applicable scenes, and there is only a little archaeological value left.
