Bai Zhenning finished his day's work and went back depressed.

Today's graduate students are different from those of later generations, and a professor often takes two or three students, which is equivalent to accepting only one person a year on average. This is still a professor at Peking University, and in many schools with a poor level, many professors have not yet obtained the qualification of master's supervisors, and it is impossible to talk about taking graduate students.

After the expansion of graduate student enrollment, not to mention ordinary professors, many associate professors have to bring more than a dozen graduate students, which is about the same number of students as in the undergraduate class in the 80s.

These two differences, in addition to representing differences in faculty, also mean that the relationship between professors and students is different.

In the era of graduate student enrollment, professors and graduate students were students and teachers.

If you offend the master, you will naturally be stricter than if you offend the teacher.

Bai Zhenning got out of the real room, went straight to the dormitory, and went to Wang Yaping to settle accounts.

The idea of the cheating father and the result of the cheating father, always find a channel to vent.

Professor Cheng Shi watched the students pack up and leave, sat down in the office by himself, opened the text, and looked at it.

One of the reasons why the boss of the real yàn room is called the boss is that he is busy.

At the level of super bulls, many professors only design real yàn, but do not do real yàn themselves, because there is not enough time. Most of their real time is spent on fundraising and management, and many of them will have countless social activities after becoming famous.

In addition to being busy with his own work, Cheng Shi also serves as the responsibility of several committees of the school.

On weekdays, Cheng Shi writes something with the empty time that the real yàn ends, but today, he unconsciously thought of the article that Bai Zhenning gave him.

The fact that undergraduates at Peking University can do this kind of Cheng is somewhat beyond Cheng Shi's imagination.

Yang Rui...... The student who sent the paper two days ago ...... "Cheng Shi's brain turned, and he turned over the text on the desk."

As Yang Rui expected, although Cheng Shi met Wang Yaping under his introduction, he did not take the time to read his paper.

Even if he wasn't that busy, he didn't want to spend his rare day on a student paper.

Unless this piece of paper is worth reading.

Cheng Shi quickly turned out the single book sent by Yang Rui.

The two papers brought by graduate student Bai Zhenning are also among them, and the back is Yang Rui's previously published papers.

Cheng Shi looked at it quickly or slowly.

It took about thirty or forty minutes for Cheng Shi to read Yang Rui's paper.

He got up and made himself a cup of strong tea, sat back on the chair, sipped the tea, and muttered in his heart: This Yang Rui has written good papers, and they are all published in foreign journals, but they are a little uncertain.

Thinking about it, I finished drinking a cup of strong tea.

Cheng Shi got up again to refill the water, and by the way, he found Yang Rui's funding application.

After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Shi sandwiched the application and Yang Rui's paper together and put them in his briefcase.

Friday.

The meeting of the project application committee of Peking University was held in peace.

It was a closed-door meeting, and the applicants were mainly young teachers from the school, with the occasional student applying, but both teachers and students saw the school's program application as a transition.

Because the school's resources are limited and there is not much money available for allocation, most of the projects that apply directly to the school are small projects, which can be said to be a test for young people.

If you are confident in the project, even young teachers will try to apply for provincial or departmental projects, that is, from Beijing Municipality or the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Machinery and other units to find money, of course, more powerful is the national project, the so-called big projects, usually the central government directly to give money.

As for the university itself, the amount of scientific research funding it announces to the outside world actually includes the amount of money applied by the professors themselves. As far as the school itself is concerned, the funding is not enough for everyone.

Moreover, in order to support some key projects, schools often make up the remaining part after the professor has received a certain level of financial support, which is more expensive than the school projects that young teachers apply for.

Therefore, although the total amount of funds involved is not small, the funds given by the project application committee to a single project are not much, and it is not very important for the professors of the committee to apply for guò or not.

"Let's start with the first item. The chairman of the committee was an associate academician, An Linhai, who looked at his watch and announced the opening of the meeting.

"This is an application from the physics department. The clerk on the right opened the text folder, took a pen and crossed out the first name, and said: "The applicant, Li Mingtang, is a teaching assistant in the Department of Physics, and he applied to redo two practical yàn for teaching, and the application fund is 500 yuan, and the real yàn are ......."

The application is easy to write, and it is easier to read, and after reading it in 30 seconds, the chairman asked, "Raise your hand in agreement with the application." ”

The professors gathered around the conference table raised their hands sparsely, and the clerk counted them and said, "More than half of the number of people agree, chairman." ”

"Just give 200 dollars. "The chairman cut the request in half.

The professors objected, and the clerk took note of it.

"The second. The chairman then urged.

The clerk hurriedly said: "This is the application of the Department of Geology......"

Cheng Shi half-squinted his eyes, or raised his hands or drank tea, as if he was in a state of rest.

At the end of the meeting, the clerk said the name of "Yang Rui" and said: "This is a student majoring in biological sciences in the Department of Biology, a freshman this year, applying to do molecular mechanism-related practice and applying for funding...... 3000 yuan, real yàn is the active protein verification ...... of sodium and potassium ions"

He didn't read out all of Yang Rui's resume, because the resume had been sent to every professor, and if he wanted to read it, he could find it out.

However, there are not many professors who take it seriously.

Although some people have received the single book sent by Yang Rui, few have read it seriously, and even fewer remember it now.

"Raise your hand in agreement. The chairman said nothing superfluous.

Cheng Shi raised his hand while looking around.

Yang Rui's dissertation is better than that of most young teachers, and it is naturally worth getting funding.

Most of the other professors hesitated before someone raised their hand.

The clerk counted them and said unexpectedly, "More than half of them agreed." ”

"Then it's going to be guò, and the money is ......," the chairman hesitated.

Cheng Shi coughed and said, "Chairman, I would like to speak." ”

"Oh, old Cheng? "The chairman is also a professor at the school, and he is more familiar with Cheng Shi.

Cheng Shi nodded, pushed the teacup in front of him, and said, "I carefully read Yang Rui's papers yesterday, and I think two of them are quite exciting, I recommend you to read them......"

Most professors don't read relevant papers, and those who can look at their names on their resumes are serious.

However, with Cheng Shi's recommendation, everyone will read it more or less with some face.

Cheng Shi pushed the two papers in his hand to the chairman.

The latter looked at it roughly and asked, "Lao Cheng, what is your opinion?"

"I think Yang Rui is still a freshman and has 4 years to go in school, so we should support him more. I think he is qualified to apply for departmental projects, but as a student, our school gives him a relatively high evaluation, which may also help him. Cheng Shi didn't know Yang Rui, but he guessed Yang Rui's thoughts.

According to the current requirements in China, any project must have a unit, and teachers or professors can apply for project approval in the name of the school, but students can only apply to the school for project approval first, because the identity of the student is only useful in the school.

When other departments evaluate the school's programs, they often refer to the school's evaluation.

The chairman pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Then give him 2,000 yuan." ”

Although 1,000 yuan was still cut, this is already a high amount of money issued by the school.
