【Editor's Note] Looking back on the past, we can see the many vicissitudes of the past; a century of great achievements will bring us prosperity and prosperity. It is the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party of China. Looking back on the 100-year history of the Party, we sigh at the great ups and downs of the journey and feel that the original sincerity of the sons and daughters of the Party has only grown stronger over time.The more than 91 million Communist Party members are the backbone of the Chinese nation’s endless struggle and courageous advancement. They are also the hope of the times for the Chinese Communist Party to inherit its beliefs and strengthen the country and enrich the people. On the afternoon of June 24, w88 casino held the "Two Priorities and One First" July 1st Commendation Conference to warmly celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and solemnly commend advanced collectives and individuals. Seven representatives of old, middle and young party members of the International w88 casino delivered keynote speeches with the theme of "My Story of Joining the Party". Let us follow in their footsteps, learn about their stories of joining the party, and witness their original aspirations.
“Educate talents for the Party, educate talents for the country”｜Sharing the story of the gardener’s education at the University of w88 and Economics—implementing the “Three Complete Education” to cultivate undergraduate and master’s degree quantitative financial talents
w88 casino of Finance Feng Jianfen
“Keep the three-foot platform and educate thousands of peaches and plums”, the financial engineering education team adheres to the original intention of teachers, keeps in mind the mission of “cultivating people with moral integrity”, and adheres to the principle of “education in three aspects”. Since 2015, it has explored various ways to cultivate quantitative financial talents for the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics at the undergraduate and master levels, striving to meet the urgent needs of the country, educating people for the party, and educating talents for the country.
No.一，All members work together to build moral integrity and cultivate people. Still rememberThe department was just established in 2003, and the discipline of financial engineering had just started in China. In order to prepare the first training plan for the major, the first team went out for research. Teacher Liu Lixin said a witty saying on the plane, "If this plane falls, the metalworking industry of Shanghai International w88 casino will be gone." I also remember that in order to apply for the professional construction project, the entire team worked all night and won the Beijing specialty and the national specialty. This tradition of rolling up your sleeves and working hard has been maintained to this day. In 2013, the financial engineering major celebrated its 10th anniversary. In 2019, the financial engineering major held an OBE evaluation. All teachers, regardless of their professional title or age, unconditionally obeyed the task assignments, making all participating experts and participants feel unity, respect and dedication. In 2006, w88 casino's financial engineering laboratory had just been built, and we lacked experience in experimental teaching and students' programming foundation. Teacher Feng Jianfen, who only had a basic foundation in C language, taught himself Excel VBA, SAS, and Matlab one by one according to the needs of the students, and has successively taken on the teaching work of 6 experimental courses. In 2015, quantitative investment became a popular area for national talent demand. In order to alleviate the talent dilemma, we launched the country's first "Quantitative Investment Master's Degree" in 2015 to cultivate employment-oriented talents in quantitative investment. In 2016, we launched an undergraduate experimental class in quantitative finance, which is oriented by applied research and lays a solid quantitative foundation for top-notch financial talents. The new direction faces new challenges. Many courses must be opened and many models must be innovated. However, teachers who came out of the ivory tower lack practical experience and practical resources. The education team gave full play to their personal initiative and contacted more than 10 internship practice cooperation units for the college. Young teacher Nie Jing took the initiative to initiate the "Quantitative Software" course. Under the pressure of annual salary system for scientific research, she taught herself Python, applied for the collaborative education project, and successfully opened this course, which was widely praised.
Second,"Helping the horse and giving it a ride" educates people throughout the process. As the first university in the country to offer a master's degree in quantitative investment, there are no mature training models and programs to learn from. You will always encounter many difficulties if you are the first to try. The students may lack financial background or computer foundation, the education team lacks practical experience in quantitative investment, and the training goals lack clear positioning. In this regard, the team has innovated the whole training process of "advance training + entrance examination + dual tutor process guidance + simulated recruitment". It makes up for the lameness problem of students by taking elective courses in advance and intensive training in advance. It urges students to use their strengths and weaknesses during vacation through entrance examination. Through the dual tutor system, it gives full play to the respective advantages of academic and industry tutors, advances theory and practice together, accumulates practical experience through simulated actual combat, and provides guidance for students to get better employment through simulated recruitment. It truly achieves "supporting the horse and giving it a ride". Different from graduate students, the undergraduate quantitative finance experimental class aims to cultivate top-notch innovative and applied research-based quantitative finance talents with a solid foundation in finance, mathematics, and information technology. Therefore, the team adopts an "entrance tutoring system + lower-grade reading classes + lower-grade summer training + senior-grade market practice The refined whole-process training method of "practice + research cooperation between senior teachers and students" has enabled the first batch of quantitative finance experimental classes graduating in 2020 to achieve a 100% employment rate under the pressure of the epidemic, more than 50% of those planning to study abroad, and their scientific research capabilities have also achieved brilliant results.
Third,Inherit the teacher's ethics, practice it personally, and educate people in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical education, and art. General Secretary Xi Jinping is hereWhen inspecting Tsinghua University in 2021, he said: "Without a high-level teaching staff, it is difficult to cultivate high-level innovative talents." Therefore, the team first focuses on the inheritance of teachers' ethics, strengthens exchanges between new and old teachers by holding lectures for new teachers, conducts teaching mentoring through joint courses, encourages teachers to participate in authoritative conferences in the industry and academia, and improves teachers' teaching capabilities to serve China's practice. The above measures have resulted in 22 members of the team being ranked in the top 10% of the college's teaching evaluation in the past five years, including many young teachers who have been employed for less than two years, such as Deng Jun, Nie Jing, Wang Yun, etc.
The second is student training. The education team infects people with selfless dedication, gets close to people with teachers and students, educates people with ideological and political courses, and cultivates people with strict teachers and loving fathers. For example, in order to answer students' questions in a timely manner, Teacher Yu Mei would lie on the ground and communicate with students via video even if he was unable to sit up due to illness; in order to support the anti-epidemic, one of Wang Tianyi and his wife fought on the front line of the severe epidemic in Wuhan, and the other volunteered to donate blood, which ignited the enthusiasm of teachers and students of the w88 casino of Finance when the blood bank was in urgent need during the epidemic; Teacher Deng Jun worked hard to improve the quality of training in gold-level classes, and coordinated with multiple parties to solve the long-standing problem of course creation. The team also participated in student class activities and held professional teacher-student badminton competitions,Convene freshmen professional guidance meetings and course selection guidance meetings, establish a WeChat group for overseas students in the Department of Financial Engineering, etc. to promote the integration of teachers and students; through the establishmentIn the "Into Financial Engineering" freshman seminar, academicians are invited to give lectures, and professional courses are actively integrated into the ideological and political courses to provide professional guidance for students' study planning and teach correct values.
The team’s work has also received some recognition,Team members Pan Huifeng, Feng Jianfen, and Yu Mei were rated as w88 casino-level outstanding party members in 2011, 2016, and 2019. In 2011, they were rated as Beijing’s “Education Pioneer” advanced collective. In 2019, they were rated as w88 casino-level outstanding education teams. In 2020, they were rated as Beijing’s advanced party organizations.
Fourth,Practice"Educate people for the party and educate talents for the country." Strengthen the goal of talents serving the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics through a variety of integration methods of industry, teaching and research. For example, we combined the No. 1 Central Document to interpret my country's "insurance + futures" targeted poverty alleviation model, understand the professional value, and use simulation experiments, simulated transactions and other means to allow students to immerse themselves in the characteristics of product trading. We have opened three practical courses at the graduate level and conducted a series of industry lectures to understand the cutting-edge trends in the Chinese market and strengthen the practical goals of serving China.
The team’s professional teaching innovation has been recognized at home and abroad,Won the second prize of the Beijing Outstanding Teaching Achievement Award three times in a row in 2009, 2013, and 2016; ranked first in the country in financial engineering by the Arishen China Alumni Association for three consecutive years from 2017 to 2019; in 2019, the financial engineering major received excellent OBE professional evaluation and was rated as a national first-class professional construction site.
Giving people a rose leaves a lingering fragrance. The Financial Engineering Education Team will continue to adhere to the original intention of teachers, keep in mind the mission of cultivating people with moral integrity, and contribute their own meager strength to the realization of the Chinese Dream.
