“对于中国高校来说 , 他们更关注如何提高国际声望 , 衡量国际声望的重要指标就是研究经费和发表论文数量 , 我认为重点指标应该改为本科生的教学质量 。
"For Chinese universities, they are more concerned about improving their international reputation, which is measured by research funding and the number of papers published. In my opinion, the focus should be on the quality of undergraduate teaching.
在中国一些一流高校已经能够培养高质量的本科生 , 但数量远远达不到中国社会目前的需求 。 中国应该更关注所有学生的教育 , 而不仅仅是顶尖的一部分” 。

Let the teachers consider such issues as whether the courseware in class is the latest version, whether the teacher interacts with the students, and whether the teacher is knowledgeable about the area he is teaching.
他举出自己的一个经历 。 他曾旁听一位年轻教师授课 , 讲解数学公式 。 一开始 , 30名同学听讲都很认真 , 但30分钟之后 , 一半的学生都开小差了 。 此前 , 这个老师写了一个公式 , 并用20分钟讲这个公式是怎么来的 。
