On the afternoon of May 7th, the mid-term teaching inspection symposium of the Law School of Southeast University was successfully held in the Big Data Conference Room on the fifth floor of the Law School. Professor Xiong Zhanglin, Dean of the School of Law at Southeast University, Professor Liu Qichuan, Secretary of the Party Committee, Professor Dan Pingji, Vice Dean, Professor Fei Qianqian, Secretary of the Youth League Committee and Undergraduate Counselor, Professor Wang Weiwei, Undergraduate Academic Assistant and Personnel Secretary, as well as representatives of undergraduate, second degree and double degree students from various grades attended the meeting.
At the beginning of the meeting, Professor Liu Qichuan, Secretary of the Party Committee, delivered a speech, focusing on the significance of the symposium, the responsibilities and expectations of student representatives, and three points of discussion. Secretary Liu pointed out that this symposium is not only a response to the requirements of the school's teaching inspection, but also an important measure for the college to deepen teaching reform. He emphasized that the symposium provides a direct communication platform for students and teaching management, plays a key role in optimizing teaching processes and promoting the development of the college, and is an important practice for the college to implement the "student-centered" concept. He hopes that the attending students will not only represent themselves, but also act as the "spokespersons" of the class, truthfully reflecting the problems and suggestions encountered by the class collective in the teaching process. In addition, Secretary Liu pointed out that the communication mechanism is not limited to symposiums, and students can provide feedback to the college leadership and teaching through multiple channels such as class cadres, counselors, and academic teachers at any time. He also encourages students to actively communicate face-to-face with the teaching staff, forming a two-way mechanism of " feedback in class + communication out of class ". Finally, he wished the symposium a successful outcome and consensus building for teaching improvement.
Subsequently, student representatives freely expressed their concerns regarding the progress of their graduation thesis, the rationality of course arrangements, the adaptability of teaching methods, and the pressure of exam assessments. The college responded to these concerns on site.
Dean Xiong Zhanglin pointed out that students should actively communicate with their supervisors about the progress of their graduation thesis and not delay. At the same time, in response to the writing difficulties raised by second degree students, he stated that the paper format standards have been released in the group. Students need to enhance their professional confidence, break through their original thinking, improve their writing skills, and lay a foundation for future legal work. In addition, Dean Xiong suggests that students taking the postgraduate entrance examination should evaluate their goals rationally and not blindly pursue prestigious universities to avoid excessive time consumption.
Vice Dean Dan Pingji emphasized the importance of graduation thesis, especially for students who have plans to pursue graduate studies, and they must attach great importance to the quality of their thesis. Regarding the issue of course scheduling, he stated that adjustments have been made to balance the learning pressure. In addition, he also responded to students' demands regarding homework assignment time, exam focus, and overly academic course materials, stating that the college will record and provide feedback to the subject teachers, while encouraging students to actively communicate with the subject teachers.
The symposium came to an end with good interaction between teachers and students, providing a good communication platform for the college and students. It was not only a "pulse diagnosis" of teaching issues, but also a vivid practice of the law school's "gentle and sharp education" concept. Looking ahead to the future, the college will continue to deepen a series of interactive mechanisms, by building a normalized communication platform and innovating diverse forms of communication, to create a more three-dimensional dialogue space for teachers and students.
