Curriculum is the core element of talents training and the quality of the curriculum directly determines the quality of talents training. The recognition of first-class undergraduate courses is of great significance to the school's double first-class development.

The School of Physical Science and Technology was selected as a comprehensive reform pilot college in 2018.With the strong support of the school, comprehensive reforms guided by "teaching reform" were implemented. The college meticulously organized the application and recommendation of the first batch of "National First-Class Undergraduate Courses". Three courses were successfully selected, of which two offline courses were selected at the same time. This have groundbreaking significance for the development of The School of Physical Science and Technology and the effection of comprehensive reforms have initially appeared.The School of Physical Science and Technology will take this opportunity to continue to make full use of various types of high-quality curriculum resources at all levels and information-based education and teaching media, actively explore the reform of classroom teaching mode.The School of Physical Science and Technology will use the construction of national-level first-class undergraduate majors to steadily promote first-class undergraduate majors construction, promote the quality of talents training to a new level, continue to open a new journey of undergraduate teaching construction and reform and lay a solid foundation for further deepening the comprehensive reform of the college and promoting the construction of first-class disciplines.

News background:

With the strong support of the school, the School of Physical Science and Technology was selected as a pilot college and started a journey of exploration to implement comprehensive reforms under the guidance of "teaching reform". In September 2017, the teaching reform was proposed and 15 grassroots teaching organizations (teaching and research sections) were established to organize curriculum groups and comprehensively sort out the curriculum system.In March 2018, 10 working groups were established to comprehensively promote the construction of the college's "first-class disciplines". In June 2018, the College’s Strategic Development Committee was established and the first High-End Alumni Forum was held.

In February 2019, the construction of scientific research teams was launched.In June 2019, the concept of "team-run college" was implemented and the performance distribution reform was implemented.In July 2019, the physics branch of the alumni association was established. The enterprise "customized class" carried out practical internships.In September 2019, the "curriculum ideological and political" teaching team was established.The School of Physical Science and Technology applied for the "first-class undergraduate" major and the "top-notch plan 2.0" training base. A series of measures is conducive to the further development of the college. Visits to brother colleges and companies for research and study,school-enterprise cooperation,teaching and research room meetings,teaching seminars,course combing,group lesson preparation,small class discussions,enrollment publicity,academic exchanges,alumni exchanges and other activities are unprecedentedly active.
