Chapter 395 Yale's Educational System

"In the first semester, every Tuesday and Thursday at four o'clock in the afternoon, you need to come here. The content of the primary course mainly includes: army history, army organizational structure, army military law and other theoretical subjects."

"You can go to collect your uniforms later. When you come to class next week, please remember the uniforms. Generally, if there are no special requirements, just wear the training uniforms!"

"Yes, Mr. Colonel!"

"Next time remember to say: yes! sir!"

"Hey, Rick, when do you think our daily queue and physical training will start? I remember that Colonel Ronald didn't seem to say that before!"

On the way back to Yale with new textbooks and uniforms in hand, Carter asked.

Colonel Ronald is the Air Force colonel in Yale's Department of Military Science, which is the unit that manages the ROTC program in an American university.It is a bit similar to the military department of domestic colleges and universities, but it is different from the military department that generally has no sense of existence except during the recruiting season.

The Department of Military Science in U.S. colleges and universities undertakes teaching functions, and is usually jointly constructed and managed by the U.S. military and colleges and universities.The military will send a colonel-level officer or a professor with a doctorate in military science to form the leadership team of the military science department together with a professor sent by the school.

These two professors will be responsible for the teaching of theoretical courses in the ROTC project, while practical training courses such as queue training and physical training, including the teaching of military skills such as shooting and fighting that may appear later, will be taught by the Department of Military Science. Several non-commissioned officers were in charge.

It can be regarded as clear responsibilities and rights, and there are always things to do!
"It doesn't seem to be there. It should be next week? It's the same as the Nathan Hale Camp? Why don't we go back and ask?"

Rick frowned and recalled, it seems that in the afternoon, Colonel Ronald did not say about when to start daily training.

"Tomorrow, let's go back now, I guess they are all off work! It's almost five o'clock now, Hadwin and the others should be waiting!"

"Alright!"

Hurrying back to the old campus, Carter and the others went back to the dormitory first to put away the newly received clothes and teaching materials.Then hurried downstairs to Elm Street to join Hadwin and the others.Then go to the restaurant of Davenport College together to taste the beef tenderloin noodles that Hills is full of praise
"Davenport's beef tenderloin noodles, Buckley's fried pork chops, Branford's tiramisu, and Calhoun's big stew are all Yale's gourmet ceilings! I heard that Buckley also has a Swiss house , the food inside is all authentic Swiss style, but I have never been there, so I don’t know if it’s delicious.”

"Big mess?"

"It's a risotto that puts potatoes, tomatoes, and beef brisket and many other ingredients in one pot. It's different from the traditional tomato and potato stewed beef brisket. There are other ingredients such as onions in it, so we jokingly call it Stewing wildly, screaming, we have forgotten what its original name was."

"But it doesn't matter. If you want to try it, just go directly to the cafeteria of Branford College and tell the waiter, 'Please give me a big mess stew! The messier the better!' They will understand!"

Sucking at the so-called Yale gourmet ceiling, which in Carter's opinion is not much different from black pepper beef tenderloin pasta, Hadwin enthusiastically introduced to Carter the various restaurants at Yale, as well as the style of different colleges.

Only then did Carter realize that he had made a joke when he applied to the Yale Department of Philosophy in his application.

The so-called Davenport, Buckley and other colleges are actually residential colleges, which can also be understood as a small community, or a Yale version of a large courtyard.

Not to mention, Yale's residential college is really similar to BJ's courtyard!It is basically a square courtyard, the open space in the middle is the social and leisure place for the students, and then the dormitory buildings surround the small courtyard.It was full of people.
Each college has its own dining room, library, entertainment room, gym and other messy functional facilities.Some colleges even open a coffee shop or something in it. Of course, there is no need to think about the bar. If you want to drink, you can only go out and buy it yourself.
And those so-called Yale Law School, Yale School of Art, School of Architecture, etc., are actually graduate schools.In other words, these professional colleges with independent titles are all teaching at the master's level and above.The colleges that perform undergraduate education tasks are collectively referred to as Yale College, or Yale campus.

That is to say, there are nearly [-] undergraduates in the four undergraduate classes at Yale, and they are Yale College students.In the first three years, they didn't divide subjects at all!There is no saying that you are a philosophy department and I am a history department
Two weeks before the new school starts, it is the time for the freshmen to listen to free trial classes.During these two weeks, the school will not require you to choose courses, nor will it force you to attend any class when and where. Freshmen are free to wander among all the classrooms to try out the subjects they are interested in.

After two weeks, the new students will make their own class schedule under the guidance of the dean of the college.Regarding the formulation of the class schedule, Yale has two requirements: first, the subjects selected by students must include three directions: natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities, and at least one elective for each direction; second, in terms of professional skills, writing, quantitative Reasoning and foreign language are also necessary for every skill teaching.

As long as the courses you choose meet these six conditions, then how many courses you choose is entirely voluntary.In other words, the minimum number of courses at Yale is 6, which is less than six courses, because some courses can meet several conditions at the same time, such as literature courses.It not only meets the breadth requirements of humanities and arts, but also meets the professional requirements of writing. In this case, choosing one course is actually enough.

That is to say, if Carter wants to paddle, he needs to spend very little time studying every week!Especially in the field of foreign languages, according to Yale's graduation requirements, one foreign language must reach an intermediate level or above.
Unfortunately, Lao Tzu's Chinese is at an advanced foreign language level, is there anything wrong with it? !
This loose course selection system will be maintained until the junior year, and finally Yale will ask you to choose a professional direction for final study.Upon successful graduation, a corresponding degree certificate is issued.

Before this, it can be said that all Yale students have no distinction between departments.Generally, I just say which residential college I belong to, and this is also a social culture that distinguishes Yale from other American colleges and universities.

For example, in the first year in the old campus, all the students living here are freshmen.At this time, you can get to know many people of the same age, perhaps in the eyes of the school, they are all of the same age, and they have more common topics, so you can get in touch with them better.

In the second year, students will enter various residential colleges.There, even if you enter the Yale social circle: students from all grades and majors gather together.

Through communication, while increasing contacts, the collision of thinking in different fields will also spark new sparks!

In addition, there are lectures from people from all walks of life invited by various colleges from time to time. It can be said that the degree of socialization is quite high!
