Chapter 3027 Mercury Record (Thirteen)
Jenna left with her paper. Bruce looked at her back and sighed. After a while, he decided to call Schiller to talk about Jenna's situation.
But not long after, the door was pushed open with a bang, and Clark walked in, followed by Diana.
Seeing that the two looked unhappy, Bruce asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"
"Bruce, you have so many children, and this isn't your first time as a teacher. How could you make such a low-level mistake?" Diana spoke bluntly, and Clark quickly pulled her back.
Bruce looked confused, obviously not realizing what was going on. Clark sighed and said, "Did you give essay assignments to Class 3 and Class 4 today?"
Bruce nodded.
"Then why didn't you leave any for Class 1 and Class 2 yesterday?"
Bruce then remembered that for the sake of teaching quality, the four classes were divided into two groups, and the course schedules for the first two classes and the last two classes were different.
For example, in the criminal investigation class taught by Bruce, the first two classes attended the class on the first day, but today the last two classes attended the class.
But Jenna's incident happened after the first day of class. Bruce did not give any homework to those two classes on the first day of class. However, after a night of torture, Bruce gave homework to the next two classes in order to find out whether it was Jenna's problem.
This raises a number of obvious problems.
Classes are not divided according to race or power. People of all races are mixed up. Although they form new classes, they actually have better relationships with their own people. Except for classes, they basically walk together with people of their own race.
This means that within a race there must be people from the first two classes and people from the last two classes. If we reconcile these two sides, why do I not have to do homework while you do?
These people are not the students of Gotham University. They are the best students among all races. Just by looking at the situation at the Mercury Base, they know that they are also studying for the rise of their race. How can the teacher give them special treatment?
Bruce's approach caused widespread dissatisfaction among this group of test-taker's, because you can assign homework to one group of students and not to another group, so you can teach one group well and not teach the other group well. Differential treatment is actually the practice that most affects the prestige of teachers.
Moreover, compared with other teachers in suits, Bruce's dress was inevitably not formal enough. He basically did not wear a suit uniform or glasses. He just wore a sportswear to go to class. He did not pay attention to his expression and movements, and seemed more immature than some students. In addition, he made the mistake of discriminating against others, which caused dissatisfaction among many students, and they asked other formal members to reconsider the selection of teachers.
Diana felt extremely anxious because she felt that Bruce did not take this plan seriously at all. Even if he was a mental patient, there would be no problem in him wearing a suit, leather shoes and a tie, right?
Clark's view was more objective. He thought that Bruce was probably too tired from doing other things outside and had not adjusted his mentality yet. In addition, he had never been a serious teacher and lacked experience, so it was normal for problems to arise.
Clark walked over, put his arm around Bruce's shoulders, and led him to the sofa, then said, "I know, Bruce, you are the smartest person in the world, and you can do anything with ease, so you can relax, don't care about other people's eyes, and act relaxed."
"But this world needs some serious moments to express your importance to something. The key is not whether you really care about it or not. As long as you make others feel that they are valued enough, things will go more smoothly."
"Of course, you don't need me to tell you these truths. Diana and I just want to say that we need to focus on this work as soon as possible. We also hope that you will be the fastest among us as usual."
Bruce rubbed his temple and frowned, saying, "You don't have to be so tactful, Clark. I'm really not in a good state recently. I'm not in the right state at all, otherwise I wouldn't make such a mistake."
"Then let's make some changes first, okay?" Clark said patiently, "I think maybe you can explain a little in the chat group, at least to calm the students down, and then wear formal clothes in class tomorrow."
"I will." Bruce nodded and said, "I will post the lesson plan I wrote in the group, so that they will know that I don't treat them differently. I was just too busy and forgot to assign homework. As for formal wear... do you all wear suits in class?"
"You went to college, didn't you?" Diana said, "At least on the East Coast, professors had to wear formal clothes when teaching."
"Uniforms and formal wear are used to emphasize identity. In normal times, we can be their friends and comrades, but during class, they must realize that we are teachers and have to show enough respect to us. Distinguishing through clothing is the best way."
"Actually, our original plan was to wear superhero uniforms, but considering that you might not like to wear Batman's uniform, we decided to wear suits like professors in ordinary universities," Diana explained.
"Okay, I'll dress properly. How are your classes going?"
Diana walked around the sofa and said, "Not bad. The quality of these students is very good. Almost every one of them is the best in their respective races. Moreover, they are diligent and hardworking. During the physical training, almost no one complained of being tired."
"I think they're pretty good too." Clark smiled and said, "They absorb the basic common sense of human society very quickly, and are also very receptive to the social etiquette of ordinary people."
"But it looks like you've run into some trouble," Diana said. "Even the basic criminal investigation courses are difficult. At least I can hardly make out any details from those bloody photos."
Bruce shook his head and said nothing more, because just like Diana said, modern criminal investigation is actually a very complicated subject, involving a lot of disciplines. After only one or two classes, even the definition of criminal investigation has not been fully introduced, and it is hard to see what the quality is.
After the two left, Bruce explained briefly in the group and expressed his apologies, then changed the assignment to a voluntary task. If you wanted to write it, you could write it, and if you didn't want to write it, forget it.
He also told the students that the current courses were not in-depth enough and they might not be able to write anything useful in their papers, but future courses would introduce real cases and the papers at that time would be more valuable. Now he advised them to focus on other subjects.
Bruce was actually hinting at how many hands he had. With Schiller on the teaching staff, he was still rushing to write his paper. Did he think he didn't get enough sleep?
Bruce was thinking this when he flipped through the chat history and found that some people were actually discussing homework for the psychology class. But to Bruce's surprise, Schiller didn't leave much homework.
Since the class had just started and they were still teaching the most basic definitions, Schiller’s homework was to go back and memorize the basic definitions of psychology and have a random check the next day.
Bruce clearly remembered that the first assignment in his basic psychology class in college was to write about the life and theories of a psychology master he knew best, and even to analyze the master's theories from his own perspective.
He should never have written about Freud in the first place.
But to be honest, Freud is indeed the name most familiar to ordinary people who don’t understand psychology, followed by Pavlov. Of course, there are also Hegel and Jung who are more familiar to those who are interested in literature and philosophy.
Bruce thought about it, then took out his cell phone and called Jenna. He said, "Jenna, you should have taken psychology courses, right? Go to Professor Rodriguez's office and ask him for a copy of his lesson plan for me. Yes, I need to use it in class. OK, I'll wait for you in the office."
To Bruce's surprise, Jenna came quickly and handed Bruce the lesson plan. She blinked her big eyes and asked, "Is there anything else? Professor, I haven't finished the group report on the water-to-ice experiment assigned by Professor Freese."
"Is Professor Rodriguez in the office?"
"Yes, he is writing the lesson plan for the next lesson."
"So he didn't tell you anything?"
"He glanced at me."
"and then?"
“Then he gave me a copy of his lesson plan.”
"He didn't ask you anything?"
"What? Oh, I was actually thinking, if he asked me what I wanted the lesson plan for, how would I explain it, because I don't know much about criminal investigation, but he really didn't ask anything."
"Didn't I ask about my affairs? Didn't he ask about yours?"
"Why would he ask me? He doesn't even know me." Jenna shrugged and said, "He was just looking down and reading the definition, and everyone was taking notes. He couldn't have recognized my face. Besides, there's nothing special about me."
"You mean he only read the definition in class?"
"Yes, well, that's all I'm saying to you. I actually think his lectures are a bit boring. Maybe that's because psychology is a subject like that. Apart from taking a lot of notes, I don't have any deep impressions."
Bruce looked completely puzzled. He said, "Didn't he emphasize to you that you should do your homework well, or there would be serious consequences?"
"Does this need to be emphasized?" Jenna was also a little confused. She said, "We are here to study, and of course we have to do homework to study. If we don't do our homework, is there any more serious consequence than not being able to learn?"
Bruce was speechless for a moment.
"Forget it, you should go back first. By the way, try not to tell anyone else that I'm giving you private lessons."
"Don't worry, I understand. You have some understanding of me that is not based on facts, but I don't care what it is. I have only one goal here, and that is to study hard. Other than that, nothing can interfere with me."
"Good girl, go ahead."
The next day, Bruce had no classes. He finished writing the lesson plan for the next class in the morning. Because he had to introduce a real example, Bruce studied it for a long time and finally decided to use the serial murder case in which the victim was Nygma.
Previously, some typical cases of criminal investigation applications were introduced in a relatively general way, but they were not systematic and no complete case was analyzed.
However, if we analyze some particularly classic cases, students can use their mobile phones to look up the case and find out the final result. This will affect their inferences and they may confuse cause and effect and be not objective enough.
It would be relatively better to use unsolved cases, but some unsolved cases still have no results, and it is inevitable that no specific conclusion can be reached, which may make students feel frustrated.
Bruce knew that this mystery serial murder case would eventually be solved. If he threw these cases to students for analysis in advance, in addition to being able to use the students' creative ideas to solve the cases, they would also feel a sense of accomplishment when the truth came out.
Having made up his mind, Bruce spent the whole morning carefully writing the lesson plan, which was very detailed from how to introduce the lesson to how to expand the lesson and how to divide the lesson into groups for discussion.
Bruce was not born with these skills, but when he was tutoring Dick, he also taught himself education. And seeing how long Schiller spent preparing his lesson plans, he was able to imitate him and learn most of the knowledge.
