49 -49 First Professional Course_1

Boxue Building, Classroom B314.

Ding Yue walked in through the back door of the classroom with his textbook and took a seat by the window at the back.

The students waiting for class to begin were all busily playing with their phones, completely oblivious to the fact their principal was also in the classroom.

About five or six minutes later.

A young teacher from the Physics department entered through the front door.

Snap!

The textbook was placed on the lectern, and then the teacher took a USB stick out of his pocket and plugged it into the multimedia device.

A bell rang across the campus signaling the beginning of class.

Hearing the bell, the students put away their phones—it was time to be attentive in class.

These students were all famously unfocused during their high school years.

But here at Mist City Arts and Science University, they found themselves looking forward to each lecture, their attention span vastly improved.

“Hello everyone, since we are meeting for the first time, let me introduce myself.”

The young teacher in his thirties picked up a chalk and wrote his name on the blackboard.

It was the first class of the semester, everyone’s first time meeting each other, so it was natural for the teacher to introduce himself and take roll call to familiarize himself with the students.

“My name is Wang Lei, three stones ‘Lei’, postgraduate alumnus of Xia Country Southern Technology University…”

Teacher Wang Lei gave a brief self-introduction.

Xia Country Southern Technology University is a decent school for science and engineering.

For someone to choose to teach physics at Mist City Arts and Science University after graduating from there probably means they appreciate the benefits offered here.

The fact that Mist City Arts and Science University was able to hire over three hundred teachers so quickly was due to Ding Yue providing a slightly higher salary compared to other undergraduate universities.

They had no choice.

Mist City Arts and Science desperately needed a great number of teachers from various fields.

“Now, let me take attendance.

When you hear your name, respond with ‘present’, okay?”

After Wang Lei introduced himself, he picked up the class roster and started calling out names: “Zhang Shan.”

“Present!”

“Tang Qi.”

“Present!”

“Peng Shangzhan.”

“Present!”

…

Soon, Wang Lei reached the last name on the roster.

When he saw the name, he was taken aback.

Ding Yue.

Wasn’t this the principal’s name?

Wang Lei had seen Principal Ding Yue at the first staff meeting.

Looking up, Wang Lei saw Principal Ding in the back of the room by the window.

Ding Yue saw Teacher Wang Lei looking at him and gave him a sign.

Wang Lei understood the meaning behind Ding Yue’s signal and put the roster away without calling out his name.

“Alright, let the class commence.

Since you’ve chosen the physics major, I trust you have some interest in the subject.

The physics you will learn at university is far more complex than what you learned in high school…

The major trajectories after finishing the specialist degree are, firstly, advancing your studies through postgraduate courses and engaging in physics research, or secondly, applying physics technology typically associated with information physics or electronic physics…”

Teacher Wang Lei began by explaining the paths a physics major could embark upon after graduation.

“To begin with, we need to establish a basic understanding of mechanics…

the dynamics of a particle…

the three necessary conditions to describe the motion of a body…

the physical quantities describing the motion and changes of a particle…”

In the classroom, Wang Lei began passionately explaining the basics of mechanics.

All the students were listening attentively.

Ding Yue was also listening attentively, but this was the most basic knowledge for university students.

With his current cognitive ability and learning capacity, he could learn just by reading the textbook.

As the lecture progressed into more complex concepts, Ding Yue decided to complement his learning with the teacher’s explanations.

So, taking advantage of the situation, Ding Yue continued to peruse his physics textbook.

“The position vector, a vector drawn from the origin of coordinates to where the particle is located, is usually represented by r, also known as the location vector or the radial vector.”

“In a Cartesian coordinate system, r=xi+yi+zk.”

A one-and-a-half-hour lecture in physics may seem long, but time flies when you are absorbing the contents.

Much to their surprise, the students in the classroom felt just that.

They felt as though in a blink of an eye the entire class had passed.

Their minds were brimming with all that Teacher Wang Lei had lectured—dynamics of a particle, and so on.

Once off-duty bell rang, Wang Lei promptly closed his textbook and turned off the multimedia teaching device: “Alright, that’s it for today’s class.

Class dismissed.”

The moment Wang Lei finished saying “Class dismissed”, the students rushed out of the classroom one after another.

Ding Yue remained, engrossed in his book.

After packing up his USB drive, Wang Lei saw Principal Ding was still there so he walked down from the lectern towards Ding Yue.

“Principal Ding?”

Ding Yue was absorbed in his book.

Hearing his name, he came back to reality, looked up, and it was Teacher Wang Lei.

“Teacher Wang.”

Wang Lei glanced at the textbook Principal Ding was reading and noticed that he was already on the basics of Rigid Body Mechanics.

“Principal Ding, how was my teaching?” Wang Lei asked with a meek smile on his face.

“Hmm, not bad.

It seems like the students were attentively listening.”

Ding Yue affirmed, nodding his head.

Suddenly, something came to him, and he asked Wang Lei, “Teacher Wang, if I were to complete all the prescribed physics subjects early, can you arrange to test me early?

I aim to complete my credits as soon as possible.”

“Alright, no problem, no problem,” replied Wang Lei.

The standard for university studies primarily relies on credit hours.

University students can learn upcoming courses in advance, but this would normally be permitted only if their academic performance reached a certain standard.

Every institution and every major requires a different number of credits for students to graduate.

Once you earn the necessary credits, you can graduate early.

However, only a minority of students have the resolve to complete the credits and graduate in advance.

With the enhanced learning capabilities that Ding Yue had endowed himself with, he wouldn’t need to spend four years to earn the necessary credits.

By just fulfilling the standards for every course of his major, he can complete the credits early, graduate, and earn his bachelor’s degree.

Then he could proceed to postgraduate studies.

“Alright then, I should get going.”

Ding Yue packed up his textbook, stood up, and left the classroom.

After just one lecture this morning and leaving Boxue building, Ding Yue headed for the Administration Building to return to his office.

Upon reaching the entrance of the building, Ding Yue spotted a tall, long-legged female student, who was wearing a pleated skirt which accentuated her long and attractive legs.

“Principal Ding, you wanted to see me?”

Wen Ruohan came to the Administration Building after finishing her class and coincidentally bumped into Principal Ding.

Wen Ruohan’s roommate had told her that Principal Ding wished to see her in his office once she finished her class.

“Wen Ruohan, right?”

“Yes, yes.”

“Let’s go to my office for a discussion.”
