Chapter 91 Designated Thesis Supervisor
Chapter 91 Designated Thesis Supervisor
Student Qin was very embarrassed.
Although he was also aware that his paper might not be written to his satisfaction, there were many reasons, such as his supervisor pushing him too hard.
He always felt that after Qiao Yu showed up in the decimal room, the tutor's requirements were a little confusing.
For example, he is only a second-year master's student now. According to seniors who graduated before, graduating with a master's degree is actually not that difficult.
As long as you get enough credits, try to read more academic papers in your daily life, find one that matches your own ideas, change the conditions and imitate it, and make some improvements to the paper if you are capable.
After all, if mathematics majors really want to do scientific research in the future, most of them will directly choose to study for a master's and doctoral degree.
If you choose to study only for a master's degree, most people will go straight to find a job after getting a diploma. You can't just pick an open problem in mathematics to embarrass yourself, right?
Although Yuda’s mathematics major rating was upgraded from A- to A+ the year before last, most of the master’s students who graduated last year also passed the exam in this way.
As a result, ever since Qiao Yu solved the equation on the forum during the summer vacation, the tutor suddenly had an idea and assigned everyone in the group a paper assignment.
The key point is that they cannot choose the topic of the thesis by themselves, but it is assigned by Professor Xue. The only thoughtful thing is that they were given some reference materials with some research methods.
What’s even more outrageous is that they have to submit their papers before October, under the pretext of assessing their academic progress.
Then this paper was born.
In fact, Qin Jingru had no choice!
The paper assignment was given in August and was due before October. Although the topic and some materials were given, it was still difficult to complete a short paper in such a short time. It was precisely because of his self-awareness that he submitted the paper one day earlier than other seniors and juniors.
He just thought that the tutor would let him go because of his good attitude, but who knew that he would be called in and executed that very night.
If he had known earlier, he would not have tried to be clever and submitted his papers with other seniors and juniors. In this way, the instructor might have looked at other people's papers first, which would have allowed him to at least get through the National Day holiday. He would not have to face an angry instructor and a confusing question now.
Who could have reviewed this? Qin Jingru's mind raced, thinking through all the possibilities, but he just couldn't figure it out.
My fellow students were busy writing papers, so they naturally had no time to review them. And although my supervisor was still very famous in Yuda, he only applied for two small projects this year, both of which were done by my supervisor and two doctoral students, so they didn't have a formal supervisor.
Only the senior brother who is currently studying for a doctorate would occasionally act as a mentor and help them answer their questions.
However, the senior brother has been busy with his graduation thesis recently and has little time to deal with them, and it is highly likely that he will not have the leisure to help him mark the thesis.
But since the instructor asked this, he must know this person. Could it be that there is a big boss hiding around him?
Qin Jingru became more and more nervous.
After all, the tutor was just sitting there, staring at him without saying a word, and it was late at night, and when he looked up he could see darkness outside the window. Who wouldn't feel uneasy?
After being stared at for three minutes, Qin Jingru finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore and was about to make a wild guess and then quibble. Then Old Xue spoke up: "You can't think of it, right? Then let me remind you that the person who helped you mark your paper just graduated from junior high school this summer."
"Ahem..." Qin Jingru was about to speak when he was choked by his saliva. After a violent cough, Qin glanced at the paper in his hand, then looked at his tutor pitifully: "Ah? Qiao Yu?"
This is too good a guess.
Qin Jingru felt that Qiao Yu was probably the only student who had just graduated from junior high school and was known to both him and his tutor.
He even remembered that when Qiao Yu solved the equation given by his tutor, he was very excited in the group chat.
Now that I think about it, he was digging a hole for himself at that time!
For a moment, he even felt that the paper in his hand had become a little heavy.
"What? Do you look down on a junior high school student? Not only can he solve difficult problems on his own, he can also complete a paper independently. The quality of the paper... Never mind, the paper has not been published yet, so it is not convenient for me to show it to you, but I printed out his abstract and introduction, so you can compare them yourself.
In addition, I want to tell you that this was also completed independently. I showed you the same version as he gave it to me. Moreover, I did not change a single word of his paper, and I directly submitted it to the top 5% of foreign journals. As for your paper, who do you think you can submit it to?"
After saying that, Lao Xue handed over two sheets of A4 paper.
Qin Jingru took it silently and began to read. Then he felt even more depressed. At the beginning of the paper, he found that there were two words he didn't recognize and had to look them up in the mathematical dictionary.
Damn it...it's really fucked up!
If high school students don’t study hard, what’s the point of writing a paper?
By the time he quickly finished reading the abstract and introduction of the paper, his face had turned red and he was too embarrassed to even look up at his supervisor.
Xue Song took a deep breath.
He was too lazy to say anything to this guy. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll send Qiao Yu's WeChat to you later. You can find a way to contact him. Then go back and tell your fellow students that Qiao Yu is your supervisor for this paper assignment.
Everyone's papers should be sent to him first. If he is not satisfied with any part, you can modify it according to his requirements. When he thinks it is acceptable, you can hand it over to me. I will give you another month's extension.
Remember, tell your fellow students that on the last day of October, if you still can't pass Qiao Yu's test, I'm sorry, I will start to seriously consider whether you have the ability to graduate on time! If you are not satisfied with this decision, you can also consider changing your instructor. "
"Ah?" Qin Jingru was stunned.
Scholars can be killed but not humiliated!
A high school student is a tutor? Is the tutor crazy?
Wait, everyone's...
Does this mean that except for the two doctoral fellows, the papers of other fellows have to be reviewed by Qiao Yu first?
Thinking of this, Qin Jingru suddenly didn't find it so difficult to accept.
"What? You have an opinion? You've read what Qiao Yu wrote, and you're still not convinced? Or maybe I don't feel ashamed, but you still feel ashamed?"
"No, no, I'm just afraid that high school students are very busy. What if he doesn't agree?" Qin Jingru said with a sad face.
"In junior high school, they have already mastered most of the knowledge you need for high school, four years of college, and the first two years of graduate school. They can already guide your thesis. Do you think it's the same as when you were in high school? As for how to get Qiao Yu to agree, that's your business.
Of course, you don’t have to follow my requirements. As long as you are confident that you can write the paper to my satisfaction, or if you think your paper is good enough to be submitted to the first zone of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, you can bypass this step and send the paper to me directly.
But if it doesn't meet my requirements. Oh... OK, go back and remember to explain my words to your fellow students. By the way, take your paper and take a good look at the content and revision suggestions that Qiao Yu has marked for you."
Xue Song waved his hand impatiently.
Seeing the cowardly look on my students' faces, I felt even more uncomfortable.
It’s difficult to lead students.
It would be better for him to supervise undergraduates. At least he would not have any unrealistic expectations for the undergraduate thesis.
……
As soon as Qin Jingru walked out of the teaching building, he took out his mobile phone and opened WeChat.
Xue Song had already sent Qiao Yu’s business card to him on WeChat.
However, Qin Jingru was not in a hurry to add WeChat, but quickly opened a group chat. This was a pure student group, which contained all the students that Xue Song had taught after he came to Yu University.
After quickly editing a paragraph, Qin Jingru suddenly felt something was wrong.
Thinking that there were many brothers and two sisters who had already graduated in this group, Qin Jingru simply copied the content he had just edited and created a new group. The new group was much purer, with only brothers and sisters who were still studying.
Even for the several doctoral students under his supervisor, Qin Jingru only invited the senior students with whom they had the most contact to join the group.
It is better not to let this kind of embarrassing thing be heard by other irrelevant senior brothers and sisters.
Otherwise, maybe everyone will tell it as a joke and no one knows how many people will know about it.
After the new group chat was created, Qin Jingru immediately sent out the previously edited content.
"My dear brothers, my thesis was rejected by my boss! But it doesn't matter. Now my boss has good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Soon, the new group chat blew up everyone, and a bunch of “???” started lining up.
Even the senior brother who is a doctor came out to join in the fun.
There is no way. No one has the time to set the newly created group chat to do not disturb.
"The good news is that I have helped everyone gain another month, and the paper submission deadline has been extended to before November. The bad news is that our instructor has found a small boss for us, and our paper must be approved by the small boss before we can submit it to him."
This time there is finally a reply that is not a punctuation mark.
"No, having a new director isn't bad news, right? Isn't this a double blessing?"
"That's right, maybe the young director has a good personality and is easier to deal with." "I also think it's good to have a young boss. The boss is too serious! Every time I go to his office, I feel my legs trembling a little."
Even the senior doctor was shocked when he saw the news.
"Is there going to be another person coming to the research team? Why haven't I heard from the boss?"
"Where's the person, Lao Qin? How come he disappeared in the middle of your conversation?"
Well, Qin Jingru is riding a shared bicycle.
In order to rush to the tutor's office as soon as possible, he rode his bicycle here and didn't even have time to lock the bike.
After sending the message just now, he planned to let his fellow disciples calm down and wait until he returned to the dormitory.
Sure enough, when he returned to the dormitory, the group chat had exploded and a lot of people were @ing him.
What made him most relieved was that his roommate was not there. He had taken leave early for the National Day holiday and went home.
Qin Jingru was relatively lucky. Although there were dormitories for two people on their campus, they were in great demand. So when the dormitories for graduate students were allocated, you had to draw lots if you wanted to live in a two-person room.
He was lucky enough to win the lottery. Of course, the price was more expensive than an ordinary four-person room.
But for Qin Jingru, it was not a big deal to be a little more expensive. For example, in today's situation, if he was in a four-person room, he would be too embarrassed to take out his phone to talk about this.
But at this time, his fellow students in the group chat even felt that having a new boss was a double blessing. A group of people started to discuss and speculated which new tutor in the school or a big brother in the doctoral station would be the tutor?
Oh, prepare yourself for the humiliation he just suffered!
Qin Jingru quickly made the truth public.
"Well, don't be so optimistic. Our extra-curricular director just graduated from junior high school during the summer vacation and is currently in the first year of high school. By the way, you know him. He is in Star City."
After this message was sent, there were two more messages below that could not stop the situation. Then there was silence for about ten seconds, and then it suddenly exploded again.
"No, are you crazy, or is the boss crazy?"
"Lao Qin, this joke is not funny at all."
"Qiao Yu, right? I admit he's pretty good, but you want to teach us how to write a paper? Are you serious?"
This time, even the senior doctor brother who had been missing for a long time jumped out and directly sent a row of question marks.
When Qin Jingru saw the eldest senior brother appear, he immediately @ed him.
"Brother, please save us and help us persuade our boss. Our boss asked us to find a way to ask Qiao Yu to review our papers. How can we ask him to do that? Or you can come and review our papers for us."
"Wait!" I sent these two words and then there was no reply.
A bunch of guys with mixed emotions started to @ Qin Jingru crazily in the group again. He could only explain over and over again tirelessly that the boss was not crazy, and he was not crazy either, and everything was true. You guys should accept the reality quickly!
Fortunately, five minutes later, the eldest senior brother appeared again, and his first words were: "What Xiao Qin said is true!"
Now, no one questioned it, but a bunch of confused, crying, and puzzled emoticons still flooded the screen.
The second sentence directly @Qin Jingru: "Are you in the dormitory?"
"Yes!"
"anyone there?"
"It just so happens that there is no one here. My roommate took a day off for the National Day holiday and went home."
"Then stop chatting on WeChat. Let's all hurry up and go to Xiao Qin's dormitory to have a small meeting! I remember you are in dormitory 1, right?"
"Yes, 307."
……
In less than ten minutes, everyone gathered in Qin Jingru's dormitory.
The layout of Yu Da’s double room is simple and warm. There are two beds against the left and right walls as you enter the door. The bed is separated from the study desk and bookcase by a wardrobe. Behind the desk is the balcony.
It's actually quite good for meetings.
The fellow disciples can sit directly on the beds on both sides, and the eldest disciple can move a stool and sit in the middle.
While the other brothers were still rushing over here, Qin Jingru found two clean sheets in the closet and spread them on the edge of his and his roommate's bed.
After doing all this, the dormitory became lively in a short while, and the people who arrived earlier began to surround Qin Jingru and ask questions.
"Lao Qin, what happened today? Tell me in detail."
"That's right, why did the instructor suddenly make such a fuss?"
"Has Qiao Yu ever written a paper? What did the instructor think about letting him guide us in writing a paper?"
"..."
What can Qin Jingru say?
"That Qiao Yu actually wrote a paper. Oh, let's not talk about the other things for now... Let's talk about it after Senior Brother comes."
Finally, the eldest senior brother of the sect walked into the dormitory. The other brothers also quieted down and sat obediently on the beds on both sides. The eldest senior brother directly stretched out his hand to Qin Jingru and said, "The boss said that he gave you the paper that Qiao Yu had marked for you. Let me have a look first."
The dormitory suddenly became quiet, and all eyes were focused on Qin Jingru.
Qin Jingru's old face turned red, but there was nothing he could do. He walked to the desk hesitantly, took out the paper that he had deliberately hidden on the bookshelf, and handed it to his senior brother.
The eldest brother didn't waste any words. He just sat down on the stool and started flipping through the paper.
I flipped through it very quickly. The paper was not long to begin with, and including the list of citations, it only had 10 pages in total.
More than ten minutes later, under the eager gazes of the younger juniors, the eldest senior brother turned to the last page. Without saying anything, he just glanced at Qin Jingru, then handed Qin Jingru's paper to a junior brother next to him: "You can all pass it around first."
Then he turned to Qin Jingru and asked, "Do you still have the abstract and introduction of the paper written by Qiao Yu?"
Qin Jingru didn't say anything and stood up silently. This time it was simple. He just casually threw two A4 papers on the table.
The eldest brother took the two pieces of paper, took a look at them, and then sighed: "It's in English? The boss didn't ask you to write in English, right?"
This time everyone was really silent.
The eldest brother didn't say anything more. He read it through carefully again, and then handed it to the younger brother who was sitting closest to the other side of the bed: "You can pass it around first. Read it together, don't waste too much time. For the parts you don't understand, one person will be responsible for looking up the dictionary. It's okay. We are all brothers in the same school. It's not shameful."
So Qin Jingru was the only one in the dormitory, silently looking at his senior brother who had a gloomy face and was wondering what he was thinking. The occasional sound of paper rubbing against each other beside him made him feel ashamed.
They sat there in silence for nearly twenty minutes, and the introductions of his paper and Qiao Yu's paper had already been circulated among the brothers on both sides. Everyone wanted to hand it back to the eldest brother, but the eldest brother waved his hand, and it was finally returned to Qin Jingru.
"Does anyone among you still have any questions about Qiao Yu's thesis level and thesis guidance level?" the eldest brother asked calmly.
The fellow apprentices looked at each other, and no one said a word.
"On the way here just now, I also talked to my boss. If you feel that your paper writing skills are up to standard, or you can write an article on any open problem and submit it, you don't have to worry about communicating with the supervisor.
By the way, Director Xue has also lowered the requirements. You don’t need to submit to a C journal, as long as you can publish a C-level journal. As long as you publish one article, he will guarantee that you can graduate on time. If you don’t have that level, just follow the boss’s requirements.”
Well, when the senior brother said this, the junior brothers really had no way to refute it, because their senior brother not only published in a C journal, but also published three articles, one of which was actually published during his master's degree.
After a pause, the eldest brother finally asked, "Does anyone have any questions?"
After waiting for a few seconds and seeing no one speaking, the eldest brother stood up and said, "No problem, just do as the boss says. It's getting late, I'll leave first, you guys discuss it among yourselves."
