Chapter 600 New Teaching Model
"Indeed, although the various basic courses in the current magic school can give apprentices a good foundation, enough to attack the official magician rank, but the arcane and magic knowledge required by low-level magicians to middle and high levels is becoming increasingly large and complex, and it is difficult to effectively master it only by relying on their own learning. Brooke nodded in agreement with Douglas's proposal.
In other words, the new arcane theories and achievements have not reduced the difficulty of low-level promotion to intermediate level by much, and the promotion rate is still the same as the original, but for a small number of low-level magicians, due to the absorption and learning of new arcane theories and achievements, it is much easier to advance, such as Annick, Heidi and others who have been taught by Lucian with cutting-edge knowledge.
Oliver said with a slight concern: "Graduated apprentices and low-level magicians are the foundation of the council, and if they all enter the advanced school to study, the entire council will inevitably be paralyzed."
The daily operation of the entire council is based on the form of "release tasks", and a large number of graduated apprentices and low-level magicians undertake 80% of the small tasks, making all aspects of the council orderly.
"So for the time being, it is just to establish a senior school with a scale of a few hundred people, select outstanding talents to enter through a certain selection method, and then consider appropriate promotion after observing the effect, but it will not affect the operation of the council, after all, the middle and high-level arcanists themselves also have to learn magic, study arcane, explore the world, and go out for adventures. Douglas said his plan, and he fully assessed the number of teachers in this matter.
"A certain selection method? What about the apprenticeship assessment?" Fernando was more concerned about this issue, and Helen began her own research, but the focus became on the wave-particle duality of electrons.
Lucian said amusedly: "Unified entrance examination for the High School of Magic? It is divided into mathematics, language, magic analysis ability, eleven major faction theories and magic practical exams?"
He purely remembered his "before" experience, and then he casually joked.
"Unified entrance examination for the High School of Magic? Well, this method is the fairest, at least fairer than the recommendation of intermediate and high-level magicians and the school's own selection." Douglas agreed with the format of the exam.
Although there are selfish desires and desires where there are people, the magician who supervises the exam may be bribed, but this is a loophole that can be avoided through various means such as inspections, and relying on recommendations and self-selection, it is difficult for middle and high-level magicians and school administrators not to lean towards what they are familiar with, appreciate, and related, and arcane and magical abilities are often ranked last.
So, Douglas nodded and said: "This is called the Unified Entrance Examination for the High School of Magic, and the specific aspects of knowledge and practical ability will be determined by the Affairs Committee."
Lucian raised his right hand, rubbed his brows, covered his eyes by the way, and secretly said in his heart, I was just joking...... However, in this way, things such as "Evans Examination Dictionary", "Evans Exercise Collection", "Evans 9+3 Theory Detailed Explanation", "Three Years of Preparation, Two Years of Simulation and One Year of Sprint" and so on may become popular.
"There is no need for everyone to take the Eleven Factions, right?" Vicente asked, "Mathematics, different magic languages, magic analysis ability, primary alchemy ability, basic understanding of the soul and body, practical arcane research ability, and practical use of magic are all must-tests, and then let excellent graduate apprentices and low-level magicians choose the three major factions by themselves, after all, everyone has their own direction of expertise and the fields they want to delve into in the future."
Fernando retorted loudly: "The current trend is that the major factions are becoming more and more closely connected, and the fluctuations of electrons and the particles of light have initially integrated electromagnetism and elements into the microscopic field.
"This can be considered after admission, anyway, if they don't study well, they will be expelled from school, which will give them enough 'motivation' to make up for their foundation." Oliver smiled.
"But this goes against the original purpose of holding a high-level school, if they have a good self-study effect, there will be no high-level magic school." Hathaway said calmly, the vibration just now is gone, anyway, electrons have already shown volatility, and the real world has not yet collapsed, so there must be an internal reason.
Lucian has always respected Hathaway, adding: "We can make some innovations in the teaching model, so that the members of the Arcane Review Committee can list the knowledge and the context between the knowledge that a certain faction or field needs to go deep into, and announce it to the students, so that they know what they need for their path."
"In addition, the courses of senior schools can no longer be like apprenticeship schools, and they can no longer be organized into classes for unified teaching, but give them a certain degree of freedom, for example, integrate the knowledge mentioned before into different courses, and different middle and high-level magicians will rotate to teach at different times, and then students will choose the teachers they want to listen to according to their own progress and foundation, choose the time that suits them to arrange other things, and choose the courses they need. to expand knowledge."
"This neither limits them to previous choices, but also gives full play to their subjective initiative, after all, they are not children, they are excellent apprentices who have graduated, and they are low-level magicians, our goal is to let people with good talents learn in a short period of time, so that people with average talents but hard work can learn slowly over a longer period of time, so that lazy people who are unwilling to pay attention finally have the opportunity to start a sprint by selecting and arranging courses."
Lucian didn't say anything about assessing them, the best answer was to be promoted to intermediate magician and arcanist through further study at the advanced magic school.
After saying that, Lucian realized that all the members of the Supreme Council were looking at him, and subconsciously asked: "What's wrong?"
"I didn't expect Lucian, you have so much experience in teaching students, no wonder Katrina, Leilia, Annick and others are so good, twenty-three or four-year-old middle-level arcanists and magicians are not something that can pop up casually." Douglas laughed.
Fernando also chuckled: "When he was a teacher at Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he was known for his novel and unique teaching style, but he was put on a hat that violated tradition."
But now, all major magic schools are popularizing Lucian's lecture mode, after all, he is already a great arcanist and a "nine-ring magician", and imitation of successful people is a trend that is not lacking in any society.
Douglas nodded: "This kind of independent arrangement is very good, and it also makes the release task less complicated, middle and high-level arcanists can choose their own lecture time and course schedule, Lucian, why don't you also serve as the principal of the advanced magic school? I hope to establish a successful new teaching model."
Glancing around at everyone, seeing that they all avoided his gaze, Lucian immediately understood that they didn't want to take on this matter at all, so he remained silent when he talked about it, so he nodded and said: "I am only responsible for establishing the model, and it is best to choose a high-level arcanist to preside over the daily operation. This is actually much easier than the members of the Arcane Review Committee, and specific things can be done by hiring intermediate arcanists like the Magician Management Department."
After saying that, Lucian silently slandered himself, the director of the Atomic Research Institute, the director of Sky Radio, and the president of the Magic University...... My part-time job is really indescribably weird, and it seems that they are all related to professors......
"Then what should be the name of the advanced magic school?" Douglas looked at Oliver and the others.
Lucian interjected again: "To distinguish it from ordinary magic schools, why not name it after the academy?"
"That's called Holt Academy." Oliver likes to choose a name the most.
"Holt" is the ancient Asso pronunciation of "mystery".
Others were not interested in naming, and Lucian didn't bother to make up any more names such as "Holvoz".
After the name was determined, the topic moved to the follow-up, and since there was no major controversy, the meeting ended quickly.
"When will Evans' experiment be announced?" In the end, Helen woke up from her addiction, and asked directly, regardless of whether there was any discussion before.
Douglas said solemnly: "I think the Arcane journal should first sort out the pre-conference debate and publish it in the name of a discussion article, Lucian's explanation is very good, which will help them accept the wonders of the microscopic world, coupled with Hathaway's insistence that particles show volatility under special conditions, there should be no large-scale cognitive world collapse event, after all, the discovery of electrons is only a few years old."
"However, people whose worldview has been subverted and are in a state of confusion should be all over the council, and the extreme few in it will even have insurmountable doubts about microscopic particles, arcane and magic, and have a very unconfident attitude, which will also stagnate their strength."
Day is also night, particles are also waves, such things will make people suspect that the world is unreal and exploration will never be effective, and feel that the world is dominated by mystery!
"Well, I'll announce Evans' experiment in the April issue." Helen nodded.
Klaus laughed and said, "Evans, just in time for your wedding."
Lucian rubbed the corners of his mouth, did he want to open with blood and brain pulp in advance?
But this seems to have nothing to do with me, it's all caused by Dieppe's thesis! I just completed the experiment, just like no one attributed the wave of light-quantum hypothetical headshots to Brooke!
Of course, Lucian believed that the number could definitely be controlled within a few, or even none, after all, the new alchemy model was still in dispute.
"I'm going back to studying the wave function of electrons." Oliver left in a hurry, and although the failure of his marriage led him to create a series of tragic works, it did not prevent his concentration and fanaticism in the study of the arcane.
Brooke and others also left, and by creating the wave function of electrons, they might be able to completely establish a new alchemical model and truly explain the mystery of material change.
Fernando, who left last, asked Lucian to follow him, and only looked at him when he arrived at the study and said, "You should have initially solved the problem of new alchemy, right?"
