Spirit of A University

It has passed a month since I entered the new career as a faculty in Hua-lien. Until now, I am looking for the way to synthesize the teaching and research. After these classes among these weeks and the experience of evaluation and accreditation for ourselves, I realized the belief what an individual graduated from a university should have is what I can count on.

Two major abilities, to summarize information and to critisize an issue, are which a mature individual should have to live independently and contribute himself to this society. Living in a internet era, to collect and filter the coming information in daily life is the routines everyone has to do if he/she has a job or runs for a higher academic acheivement. My duty in a class is to guide a student have a personal system to summarize the new information, and judge the validity and value of a news by themselves. These are the basic abilities for a scholar and a professional worker. In Taiwan, a state with so many universities, the current challenge for the faculties in each college is to improve the abilities of this generation of students. These students will decide the quality of Taiwan after they graduated. To help them gain these basic academic abilities will charge the research energy of mine. I have obtained much of help from the advisors and friends to promote my academic abilities. What I am doing is to pass this spirit to the next generation.
