not long after school started, freshmen at the school of data science at zhejiang university of finance and economics, who had just finished their military training, received "big news" that they were about to face an exam.
check in in advance to study, students invigilate the exam themselves, and classmates mark each other's papers. this is a "fully automated" exam that is completed independently by students from organization to implementation.
talking about this exam, li shien, the person in charge of the activity and a 22-year economic statistics student, said: "the 'fully automated exam' method can enable freshmen to enter the learning state in advance, so that they will not go from the 'most relaxing summer vacation' after the college entrance examination to university. the school is too lax and can give full play to students’ autonomy to help freshmen make a better transition.”

faced with this sudden exam, the freshmen were not surprised. they knew about this "fully automatic" exam as early as during the summer vacation and made a lot of preparations before enrolling.
the chao news reporter learned that this exam was arranged by the "study style development plan" of the school of mathematics at zhejiang university of finance and economics. the activity adopts the model of "self-study during holidays and exams at the beginning of school". the teachers of the college carefully select online courses and set learning goals for the new students. freshmen make their own study plans and check in to study by themselves. the student class guide (sophomore student responsible for the assistant management of the freshmen class) answers questions for the freshmen, urges them to study and check in, and regularly checks the content of the check in to ensure that the freshmen complete the study plan with quality and quantity.

in fact, the "fully automatic" examination has been implemented for 4 years.
compared with previous years, teachers’ participation this year was lower, leaving the autonomy of making study plans and invigilating examinations and marking papers in the hands of students. ma xiaojie, a student who served as an invigilator for the first time, said: "at first, i was very worried about the order of the examination room. i was afraid that i would not be able to 'shock' them, and that they would not be able to cope with the exam. but everyone was very conscious during the exam, as if there was no invigilator or not. inspection during the process, i felt that most students answered the questions smoothly, and many students said after the exam that the exam was not difficult.”
the exam has also received good responses among freshmen. many students said that the "fully automatic" format is novel and can help them better adapt to university courses. "thanks to the clock-in study during the holidays, i am pretty good at answering questions and i feel like i can get good grades! not only that, i also feel that i can study more freely during class." ying miaojie, class 2, applied statistics, class of 2024 said.

"the purpose of launching the 'study style development plan' is to help students develop self-disciplined study habits and form a good study style from the beginning of college." wang wenting, deputy secretary of the party committee of the school of mathematical sciences at zhejiang university of finance and economics, said, "the college will also launch the 'study style backbone program' in the future. through class training, postgraduate entrance examination training camp and other academic style building activities, we continue to explore new ways to build academic style and continuously improve the effectiveness of educating people.”
