As Teacher's Day came, Zhejiang University announced a new list of Yongping Awards. Professor Fang Wenjun and Professor Wu Fei of the School of Computer Science and Technology Won, a School of Computer Science and Technology, won the Yongping Outstanding Teaching Contribution Award in Zhejiang University, and each won 1 million yuan in the awards.

Zhejiang University Yongping Awards was set up by Mr. Duan Yongping, an alumni of Zhejiang University in 2011. It is used to reward teachers who have made outstanding contributions in education and teaching. Essence By commending the excellent teachers who have a solid foundation, exquisite business, excellent teaching effects, and care for students' growth, establish love -students and re -teach taught, stimulate the enthusiasm of front -line teachers, form a working atmosphere in which the school is dedicated, struggling, teaching and educating people in the whole school Essence

Professor Fang Wenjun: Cultivating students will always be the first priority of the teacher

Classroom teaching has accumulated about 4,300 hours, an average of more than 200 hours in the past six years, and about 4,510 students ... Fang Wenjun, who has been farming for more than 30 years, is a veritable "first -line teacher".

Fang Wenjun is a doctoral supervisor and undertakes many national scientific research tasks, but he taught the most the most basic undergraduate generals and experimental courses. For example, "Ordinary Chemistry", all the students sitting under the podium are freshmen who have just entered the school gate, such as "Physical Chemistry Experiment". experiment.

Teaching and educating people, like scientific research, is a science. "Ordinary Chemistry" is a general class. How to give a good class for the newly -to -family backgrounds with different professional backgrounds, Fang Wenjun moved his mind. He often starts with his familiar life experience, draws the cocoon from phenomena, and shows abstract theoretical image in front of the students.

"Everyone has seen the small water droplets on the lotus leaves, and it is very cute. But do you know why water will form water droplets on lotus leaves without spreading exhibitions?" In the classroom, Fang Wenjun guided students Thinking about the problem.

It turns out that there is a layer of hydropladed waxy object on the surface of the lotus leaf, which can protect the erosion of the lotus leaf that is not vulnerable to water. Fang Wenjun asked again, why does the leaf surface with similar ingredients show different hydrophobic properties? It can be seen that it can be seen through experimental observations that it turned out that the surface structure was different. From a phenomenon that is accustomed to, Fang Wenjun told everyone the basic thinking and learning methods of chemistry: "The composition and structure of material determine the nature of an object. In the future, you can start with similar problems."

"The class must be‘ deducted ', the basic concept is accurate, the foundation is solid, and the chemical thinking has been mastered in order to have a pair of “see -through” eyes like orthopedics, and see the essence from the phenomenon. "Fang Wenjun said.

In his class, he can not only discover the mystery of chemistry, but also accept the influence of "text", "history" and "philosophy". He told the students of Academician Xu Guangxian's scientific and educational thoughts, the story of Professor Zhou Houfu, the family inheritance of the family of Academician Hou Debang and his nephew Hou Yujun, and taught students to learn power from their predecessors and cultivate their feelings of their country. He compared the "reversible process" in chemistry to an ideological state -the system to do the maximum contribution, giving much more, and less. This is the case, as well as teaching and being a person.

In addition to the ministry of preaching, Fang Wenjun spent most of his efforts in the class to confuse the students. Emails, WeChat, nails ... all kinds of communication channels are open to students. Even when he was on a business trip, when he encountered a classmate asking for advice, Fang Wenjun would be patient with the students patiently, involving complex formulas or images, and he would write a photo on the paper to the students.

After years of overwhelming, he was even more doubtful than even more than class. The "Ordinary Chemistry" course has only three times a week, but Fang Wenjun has insisted on arranging 4 hours a week to answer questions for many years. In order to allow students in the late class to catch up with the question, he often waits at more than 10 pm. "Intermediate Chemistry Experiment (II)" each time, Fang Wenjun often soaked in the laboratory all day from morning to night.

Thirty years of adhering to the front line of teaching, the motivation behind it can be summarized in a word "love". Fang Wenjun loves chemistry. When asked how to face difficulties in scientific research and maintain enthusiasm, Fang Wenjun felt that it was not difficult. He said: "Diligently learn and do it down -to -earth. You can bring me joy. "

Fang Wenjun loves students even more. He laughed that he had no hobbies, but he liked to "station" all day in the laboratory and stayed with students. This selfless love was born when he first joined the job. After graduating from Zhejiang University's undergraduate, Fang Wenjun gave up the opportunity to directly exempt from trial research and stayed as a counselor for two years. Since then, he has forged an inextricable bond with the student's work.

"When I am a counselor, I have more time to care about students who have lost their studies and have difficulties in their families. I know that they can be admitted to Zhejiang University. They must be very good students, but they have encountered difficulties at a certain stage." Fang Wenjun It is full of tolerance and care for students. "My work can help them get out of the predicament and grow. I think it is particularly meaningful."

Later, he took a graduate student and doctoral student, but in the end he decided to return to the lower grade classroom, to lay the foundation for the students, and buried the seeds of chemistry early in the students' hearts.

Next week, Zhejiang University is about to start, and Fang Wenjun will usher in a group of new students. At this time, he is looking forward to it at this time. "The reason why the school is the school and the teacher is the teacher because there are students. Cultivating students will always be the first priority of the teacher." Fang Wenjun said. Professor Wu Fei: scientific research feeding teaching, teaching drive scientific research in -depth

Wu Fei's research field is "tall", but as a teacher, his teaching and cultivation in teaching can be described as "grounded".

Wu Fei is currently the director of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of Zhejiang University. His research involves multimedia analysis, image understanding, intelligent perception of interaction, and so on. In his 20 -year career, Wu Fei participated in and witnessed the many milestones of the country and Zhejiang University in the field of artificial intelligence. Now, how to pass the relay stick of artificial intelligence research through teaching, Wu Fei has a unique insight.

When I first told students artificial intelligence, Wu Fei often used steam engines to fight. The historical significance of the steam engine has been praised by historians as "no matter how exaggerated", but it must be combined with the textile industry, metallurgy industry, and transportation industry to promote human beings into the era of the industrial revolution as a whole. Artificial intelligence is also the same as steam engines. It is a strategic enable technology with common purpose and potential to empower many fields.

Adhering to the concept of "thick foundation, promotion, strong application", Wu Fei hopes to cultivate "AI+X" cross -innovative talents.

Wu Fei has launched a new generation of artificial intelligence science and education platform -Zhihai, innovative science and education integration, and production and education integration. The term "Zhihai" means "the ability of wisdom can we drive the times to change the times. If there is a sea, you can empower all things to update."

Various sparks burst out on the Zhihai platform. Students predict the impact of carbon dioxide emissions on global warming through a linear regression method, and the probability of predicting the migrant workers into the urban community through telephone communication records ... "In this process, if the students find that existing algorithms cannot solve real life, they cannot solve real life in real life. For complex issues, think about the new method of research, and the enthusiasm of research is quickly ignited by the teaching scene problem. "Wu Fei said," When a good teacher, you must feed on scientific research. At the same time , Teaching and learning are natural. "

In April 2021, Wu Fei and computer professional teachers from Zhejiang University, Shangjiao, Fudan, Nanda, Central University of Science and Technology and Tongji united Huawei, Baidu, and Shangtang Company jointly opened the "AI+X Microevilia" complement project. The project will teach the basic knowledge system of artificial intelligence from non -countdown students through co -construction, mutual recognition, mutual recognition, certificate of certificate, and SPOC (small -scale restriction online) courses. In April of this year, 66 students from six schools were not computer majors.

When he was a student, Wu Fei read many textbooks written by Zhejiang University Teachers. The words "Pen in the Garden" in the preface made him yearn for "Qiushi Garden". In the autumn of 2019, Wu Fei also carefully wrote the "pen in the garden" in the preface of the "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence: Model and Algorithm".

Textbook writing is another focus of Wu Fei's work. He believes that textbooks are national rights and reflect the ideas, ideas and contents of educators.

Such a deep understanding stems from an experience more than ten years ago. At that time, Wu Feigang returned from the visiting scholar from the United States. Academician Pan Yunhe asked him: "Does Berkeley bring back the textbooks and courses for students of computer colleges?" Wu Fei originally prepared a stomach scientific research cooperation project to report to Academician Pan, But it was deeply touched by this question. "From Teacher Pan, I felt the significance of a good course and a good textbook for the growth of students." He later recalled.

Coinciding with the reorganization of the content of the "Artificial Intelligence" in 2016, Wu Fei's writing of the textbook also put on the agenda. While he was in class, he started writing. Since 2018, Wu Fei has also launched the "Artificial Intelligence: Model and Algorithm", which was later selected as the first batch of national first -class online courses and currently has 150,000 candidates. After several rounds of lectures, the main content of the textbook is gradually formed. "If you do n’t lecture seriously, you ca n’t write good textbooks. This process is a denial of negation rising.” He concluded for the relationship between classrooms and textbooks.

Today, Wu Fei not only has a group of students in colleges, but also has a group of readers in primary and secondary schools. In 2019, Wu Fei spent a whole year and wrote an ordinary high school information technology textbook "Preliminary Artificial Intelligence", which has been used in more than ten provinces and cities across the country. At the same time, he also wrote a digital science science reading of "Entering Artificial Intelligence" for primary and secondary school students. It has been played more than 10 million times on Himalayan and other platforms. The expanded 150,000 -word paper science science science readings will be published in October this year.

Everything stems from the wish that he shared the cutting -edge technology with the general public: "Scientific research can keep knowledge in the forefront, and scientific popularization can be shared with knowledge communication methods. ","
