On the surface, I am taking an online class, but in fact, my mobile phone is displaying the game interface; on the surface, I am listening to the teacher's lecture carefully, but in fact, I have already recalled the delicious food in my mind, thinking about which boss I want for lunch. Business... However, these things can only be done secretly. What if one day fishing becomes an aboveboard thing?
Since the fish-fishing instruction course appeared on the online course platform of Tsinghua University, more than 3,000 students have chosen this fish-fishing course. "Teacher Gao", the starting teacher of "Introduction to Fishing", is actually a freshman Tsinghua student. When he discovered that Tsinghua University's online course platform "Lotus Pond Rain Classroom" had the function of "everyone can open a course", he opened a course on "fishing" himself. However, this "Introduction to Fishing" is only available on the Rain Classroom platform and has not entered Tsinghua's official course selection system. Furthermore, this course has no final exam, no credits, and no impact on transcripts. Despite this, "Introduction to Fishing" is still very popular among students at Tsinghua University.
It is fun to catch fish for a while, and it will be fun to catch fish all the time
Why did "Introduction to Fishing" become so popular at Tsinghua University? This is related to Tsinghua students’ disgust with the status quo of involution and their yearning for “Introduction to Fishing Studies”. In daily life, some Tsinghua students are busy studying all day long and lack extensive social interaction. When you encounter a problem, there will be an embarrassing situation where no one can ask. In desperation, you can only go to social platforms anonymously to seek answers, and the answers you get will naturally vary between true and false. I encountered difficulties in understanding some courses, and it was difficult to obtain high-quality learning and sharing materials. I felt lonely and difficult on the solo road of learning and scientific research. You know, in universities, there are fierce competitions, high study pressure, sub-mental mental health, etc. This has become a normal part of university life. In order to solve this problem, "Teacher Gao" chooses to do what he likes and assigns a small homework and a big homework every week. The small homework is very practical, and it is to share fishing tips or methods of debugging stress; the big homework is to use your own skills to solve the problem. Write an introductory portfolio for classes taken during the semester and share it with freshmen at school.
The "fishing" course offered by "Teacher Gao" this time is equivalent to a social circle for relaxing learning. Any questions you don't understand and course understanding materials can be easily solved here. Everyone Able to get what everyone needs. Not only that, communication here is very casual, which makes learning more fun and less boring and lonely. Through these methods, the pressure brought by involution can be alleviated, so that Tsinghua students can regain their vitality.
The fast-paced and high-pressure way of life and learning makes people often ignore the beauty of life and go back and forth in competition and pressure. The fishing course guides everyone to learn to rest and discover the beauty of life. . It must be said that this "fishing" course, which was started as a joke, was a great success and won the favor of Tsinghua students.
Fishing is a feeling, and learning is true love
At the beginning of the "Introduction to Fishing", in order to prevent everyone from misunderstanding the "fishing class", "High School "Teacher" urgently produced course instructions and uploaded them to the "Lotus Pond Rain Classroom". After that, he made some temporary ppts. With the help of his kind-hearted senior sister, the "Lotus Pond Rain Classroom" was soon officially put into operation. "Teacher Gao" is not sure whether this course can continue. Maybe it was just a joke that suddenly appeared, discovered accidentally, but it would probably be forgotten by people again, buried deep in the pile of Yu Classroom courses, and finally no one cared about it. It is also possible that "Teacher Gao" can really continue this course through various methods and finally achieve satisfactory results.
But no matter what the outcome will be, this "fishing" course made many students realize: "It turns out that I can also open courses in the Rain Classroom and give lectures to my classmates, and other students can also study normally." Come and listen to my class as if you were in class.” Some students with professional knowledge and skills can share their experiences and visions in the “Lotus Pond Rain Classroom”, and these classes that continue to emerge are the best testimony to the existence of the “fishing” course. who.
