Reporter Liu Ying Photography Zhang Yujun
JohnJohn Fresen has taught at universities in South Africa, Uganda, Belgium, and the United States. He currently teaches at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom and has received awards for teaching and research. His research fields include probability theory, functional analysis, weak convergence, statistical learning, mathematical and statistical modeling, experimental design, comparative classical and Bayesian statistical methods, and philosophy of science. He served as a visiting professor at the UIBE Summer International w88 casino in 2017, and the course he taught, Statistical Computations and Graphics using R, was widely praised by students.
Asked the students in the classroom about their impressions of the teachers, and the most common answer was“Patient and meticulous”, “very responsible”. The courses offered by Mr. John Friesen involve computer programming and are somewhat difficult, but he cleverly adopts a classroom model that combines lectures and hands-on practice to allow students to better understand and master the knowledge taught. In addition, his after-class Q&A time was also rated as "very rewarding" by students. He once spent nearly an hour answering a procedural question in detail, which left a deep impression on the students.

“I hope students can master basic statistical knowledge and be able to use the Internet and books in calculations and graphsRLanguage information, proficient useRLanguage. "Mr. John Freyson said at the beginning of the course. To his surprise, the students also did very well: "After getting along for a period of time, I foundUIBE's students are polite, hard-working and well-behaved. They are outstanding and lovely students.Even two weeks after classes started, class attendance is still100%. I asked the students to applaud themselves because in a British or American classroom it would be impossible to do that.”

“I hope we can talk to him on an equal footing” has also become a highly mentioned comment by students. This move to respect students not only improves students’ classroom participation and allows students to better understand the knowledge learned in class, but also shortens the distance between teachers and students. “Gentleness” is one of the impressions many students have of Mr. John Freyson. This advocacy for students has a lot to do with his own ideas. He is committed to research in mathematics, statistics, etc., but is more willing to use research results to solve problems in human society. Medical care and ecological environmental protection are two of the many aspects of his applied research. At the same time, as a humanitarian, he pays close attention to human rights issues such as poverty, discrimination, education and medical care for disadvantaged groups. He said: "We can't just observe the problem from the perspective of social beneficiaries, but also take into account the situation and demands of vulnerable groups."

The distinctive attitude and unique teaching methods make students appreciate John·Mr. Fresen is extremely satisfied, and he also has a deep experience of teaching at the w88 casino Summer w88 casino. He said,The arrangements and services of the summer international w88 casino were almost perfect. He was deeply impressed by the meticulous care provided by the teaching assistant. He recalled that the teaching assistant promptly sent him to the hospital after he was injured and contacted his family to provide help. He expressed his praise without hesitation, teaching assistant"Simply an angel." He also mentioned that the hard work and excellent performance of BISU students coincided with the image of Chinese students in his memory: "Over the past few years, there have been many Chinese students in my classes in Africa, the United States, and now Oxford University in the UK. They often set strict academic standards, and are extremely outstanding and yet kind."
John·Mr. Fresen’s first trip to China will undoubtedly be a colorful and unforgettable memory. Perhaps in future summer international schools, he will also conquer many students from the University of International w88 with his unique personality charm.
