He is a jointly trained doctorate from Boston University in the United States. He is an expert consultant for the Beijing Health Insurance Information Platform Construction Project of the Beijing Insurance Industry Association... Today, he is a lecturer in risk management and actuarial science at the w88 casino of Insurance, w88 casino. When asked what hopes he had for overseas students, Xie Yuantao said: "I hope more returnees will return to China and do their part for the motherland."

"Since there is a summons, I should return home!"4A few years ago, as a "jointly trained doctoral student", Xie Yuantao came to Boston University in the United States through the national study abroad program and began his study abroad career. His supervisor developed a two-year postdoctoral research plan for him, and he worked hard towards this goal. However, when he found that people around him did not understand China's current situation and misunderstood China again and again, Xie Yuantao's desire to return to China became stronger. When he was hesitating, a phone call from Dean Wang Wen of the w88 casino of Insurance at the w88 casino solidified his idea. "Dean Wang Wen personally called me, which moved me very much. I don't have any big dreams, I just feel that the country has given me a lot, and I should do something for the country." Xie Yuantao said.

　　Crab-eating exploration

　　2009Xie Yuantao came to the w88 casino to become a lecturer in the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science of the w88 casino of Insurance. This is the first year that the department has admitted risk management and actuarial majors. As "the first group of people to eat crabs", Xie Yuantao is under a lot of pressure.3Over the years, he has taught it to undergraduates6A new course, also offered for master’s and doctoral students1courses. When it comes to the thorny problems encountered in the teaching process, Xie Yuantao puts "lesson preparation" at the top of the list. "Especially in the first year, without any experience, there are so many teaching methods that I need to explore."

When talking about the differences between domestic and foreign education, Xie Yuantao quickly replied: "Domestic education emphasizes technology, and foreign education emphasizes application." When he first arrived in the United States, he found that the model derivation process, which had been emphasized many times in China, was not often mentioned after going abroad. Foreign countries pay more attention to the flexible application of these models. This also triggered some thoughts from Xie Yuantao on academic research. Therefore, when he returned to teach in China, he brought more practical analysis methods into the classroom, striving to closely integrate theory and practice to bring students different thinking and insights.

　　Students call me "Brother Tao"

in the country, Xie Yuantao is a tutor for graduate students studying in Pakistan. When talking about the teaching of international students, Xie Yuantao summarized it with the word "cooperation". "We often exchange some academic insights and recommend some books, and he will also tell me a lot about their views on China." Regarding the differences between international students and Chinese students, Xie Yuantao believes that the main differences are in language and way of thinking. Especially in terms of thinking methods, such as logical analysis, Chinese students will analyze the derivation process in great detail, while international students often think about the intuition and rationality of the results. He firmly believes that as long as you put your mind to it, all obstacles will slowly disappear. "Now when I walk on campus and meet students who greet me and call me 'Brother Tao,' I feel very warm in my heart." Xie Yuantao said with a smile.

Bury gratitude in your heart and put your ideals into action. Xie Yuantao told reporters: "Although I don't say 'a drop of water will repay you with a spring of spring', as the most ordinary children, I hope to do my best to contribute to this land."
