一切为了学习:大学教授怪招不断

You might hesitate to participate in class discussions, but what if you could send a message instead of speaking out loud? In the computer science course at Changsha University of Science & Technology (CUST), students can voice opinions via their cell phone.
你也许会为是否参加课上讨论而犹豫不决，那么如果改用发信息的方式来表达观点呢？在长沙科技大学的计算机专业课上，学生可以通过手机来表达观点。

“I open a micro blog webpage and when students text a message to the account it appears on the screen,” said teacher Huang Qiang.
黄强（音译）老师说：“我打开微博页面，当学生发来私信时，它就会显示在屏幕上。”

Su Ying, 19, a sophomore at CUST, said: “I feel relaxed as I don’t like standing up and getting everybody’s attention.”
该校大二学生、19岁的苏樱（音译）说：“我觉得很放松，因为我不喜欢站起来，接受所有人目光的洗礼。”

At Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, students who arrive at the laboratory early are rewarded with a message of praise on a micro blog named “BUPT CAD center attendance machine”. It might say something like: “Edison invented the first bulb; Bell invented the first telephone; and this morning, Xiao Li printed the first fingerprint.”
北京邮电大学的学生如果早到实验室，便会获得由“北邮CAD中心考勤机器”微博发来的奖励信息消息。内容大致为：“爱迪生发明了第一只灯泡，贝尔发明了第一部电话，今早，小李印下了第一枚指纹。”

The machine, which sends a message whenever a student places their finger on it, was invented by Song Meina, a computer professor. “Students wrote the posts themselves. If they come first, they are praised in front of 2,000 fans,” the professor said.
这台会发信息的指纹考勤机的发明者是该校计算机系教授宋美娜（音译）。她说：“微博内容都是学生自己写的。如果他们来得早，便会在2000多名粉丝面前接受表扬。”

Kung fu style
功夫范儿

Splitting bricks by hand usually only happens in movies. But in a class at Sichuan University, Wei Yaoyong, dean of the computer science department, did just that. But he didn’t just want to attract attention.
徒手劈砖通常只在电影中出现，而在四川大学的课堂上，计算机科学系系主任魏骁勇就上演了一幕徒手劈砖。但他并不只是想吸引同学的关注。

“I wanted to tell my students that even when you only know some simple science principles, if you use them right, you can achieve great things,” said Wei. “I want them to know that university is not only about doing research, but also about employing your practical knowledge.”
魏骁勇说：“我想告诉学生们，即使你只知道一些简单的科学原理，如果应用得当，你也可以成就大事。我想让他们知道，大学不仅仅是做科研的地方，也是运用实践知识的地方。”
