In order to encourage students to prepare more carefully for group presentations, Zhu Jigao asked the groups to score each other and promised a special reward - he would treat the winning group member with the highest score to dinner at the end of the semester. In such group competitions, students not only deepened collaboration and communication with classmates from other majors, but also absorbed classroom knowledge more effectively. Under this special incentive mechanism, students became more motivated to learn. The teacher's passion comes from the love of teaching, and the students' passion comes from the charm of the classroom. At the end of each class, Zhu Jigao would express his gratitude to the students, and the students would also express their gratitude to this passionate young teacher with warm applause.

How to deal with the relationship between teaching and scientific research is a question that puzzles many young teachers. Zhu Jigao found his own solution - scientific research feeds back teaching. Bringing your own scientific research results into the classroom can not only avoid the disadvantages of outdated textbook content, but also allow students to participate in their own academic research for the first time and understand the latest academic trends. The artist on the podium must also be a thinker who can sit on the bench. Zhu Jigao has always adhered to the principle of mutual benefit through teaching. On the one hand, teaching provides a source of inspiration for scientific research, and students’ opinions and views in communicating with students often help him break the myths about scientific research; on the other hand, the progress and results of scientific research work have continuously injected fresh blood into the classroom and become teaching content that is difficult for others to copy. Effectively coordinate the relationship between teaching and scientific research, greatly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of teaching and scientific research, and achieve a virtuous cycle of teaching and scientific research.
