a number of micro-majors opened by universities on weekends focus on being "small but fine". although they do not confer degrees, they are still very popular. at present, the three micro-majors opened by beijing forestry university, namely nature education, artificial intelligence, and carbon neutrality and smart environmental protection, have welcomed the first batch of new students, and office workers have become the main force in the classroom.
on september 22, the beilin nature education micro-major course schedule listednatural environment interpretation, heritage protection and inheritance, natural education resourcesthere are 11 classes, which take up the whole day from morning to night. there are 54 students in a class, 35 of whom are from outside the school. wu jian, deputy director of the school's academic affairs office, said,the micro-major courses offered this semester have a capacity of about 50 people and have been welcomed by students both inside and outside the school. all the places were snapped up before the registration deadline.
"micro-majors are optional actions taken by schools. they are non-academic education that focuses on small areas. their purpose is to train specialized talents for current hot fields."wu jian gave an example, saying that students studying the micro-major of nature education can acquire the professional level and innovative ability of nature educators through learning. after subsequent professional training, they can obtain the qualification of national nature educators and engage in nature education work in nature reserves and urban and rural green spaces.
as wu jian said,being able to learn the most fashionable and real skills is one of the reasons why micro-majors are popular.the reporter found that in recent years, among the micro-majors opened in beijing universities,artificial intelligence accounts for the vast majority.however, different universities have different teaching focuses and attract different student groups. for example, the courses of beijing forestry university's artificial intelligence micro-major include basic application knowledge such as programming design and machine learning. tsinghua university's data science and thinking micro-major involves courses such as r language programming and statistical inference.
for college students, the attraction of micro-majors lies in their down-to-earth nature. tsinghua student huang zhenyu has signed up for the university's artificial intelligence micro-major course. he believes thateven if you don't have a degree, learning this practical knowledge will be very helpful in finding a job.wu jian said that compared with traditional education, micro-majors aim to improve students' social practice application capabilities through course explanations and practical training.
at present,tsinghua university, communication university of china, beijing institute of fashion technologycompared with traditional majors, these courses are mostly composed of 5 to 10 course modules.classes are usually held on weekends, and some on weekday evenings.students are required to complete all hours within one academic year.
in the future, similar micro-majors will be more abundant. this summer, the beijing municipal education commission has issued a notice to deepen the reform of general education in artificial intelligence and support colleges and universities tominor, micro-major, double degreestudents are encouraged to carry out interdisciplinary professional studies in artificial intelligence through various means, so as to cultivate top innovative talents that are urgently needed by society.
