Chapter 608: Chapter 366: The First Batch of Students Who Can Graduate Early (Seeking Subscription)_1

Last time, Xia Qing, a student in the Department of Physics, completed his credits and finished his thesis defense, applying for an early graduation.

Originally, Ding Yue was to present him with a diploma, while also asking Xia Qing to continue his studies at Mist City Arts and Science University.

However, Ding Yue later considered that there were actually several students in various departments of Mist City Arts and Science University who, like Xia Qing, could complete their studies this year.

Such as Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei of the Mechanical Engineering Department.

And Chen Jun from the Computer Science Department.

Of course, Ding Yue had already informed Huang Youjie and Xu Bin to prepare for their thesis defenses.

Huang Youjie, as the standout in the Law major, performed well in both earning credits for his specialized knowledge and in practical operations.

Huang’s case, which undoubtedly concerned the case of Liu Ping’s father, Liu Yongzhi, was a very successful example.

Additionally, since Huang had almost enough credits, he also qualified for early graduation.

Xu Bin goes without saying.

These two did not disappoint Ding Yue.

Given this, Ding Yue asked the Registrar’s office to prepare for the presentation of Xia Qing’s diploma, hoping to do it together with these other students.

Presenting the first batch of early graduation diplomas all at once could greatly incentivize those students still studying diligently.

At the same time, it would show those paying attention to Mist City Arts and Science University that the institution is capable of cultivating "geniuses" in specialized fields.

Early graduation is quite difficult in itself, and if someone can graduate so much earlier, aren’t they a genius?

Most importantly, these students have displayed, through their accomplishments, that they indeed have the capability to graduate early.

"Principal Ding, this is the list of students who will receive their diplomas along with Xia Qing. Some have already passed their thesis defenses, while others are still preparing."

Qi Chunsheng promptly pulled out a list and presented it to Principal Ding.

After receiving it and taking a look, Ding Yue indeed saw his two friends, Huang Youjie and Xu Bin.

Beyond them, the Mechanical Engineering Department had the most students this time around.

Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei, and Yang Jie were the three.

Aside from Xu Bin, the Computer Science Department also had another student: Chen Jun, who Xu Bin thought highly of. Chen Jun had essentially become Xu Bin’s reliable aide in computer software development.

These two core departments of Mist City Arts and Science University thus had five students able to graduate early this semester.

For the Law Department, there was only one, Huang Youjie.

For the Arts Department’s Music major, undoubtedly it was Lin Zhirou. Throughout the year 2021, in addition to diligent training, she didn’t miss any courses and earned all her credits. Considering Lin Zhirou’s current accomplishments, it wouldn’t be hard for her to graduate early.

The Architecture Department had one person: Liu Chuanjie, the designer of Bookship Library. Liu Chuanjie’s roommate, Cui Hai, also had the chance to be in the first group to graduate early. However, he had not yet finished his credits, so he could only wait for the next group.

Adding them all up, out of the over 9,600 students who registered for the 2020 academic year at Mist City Arts and Science University, nine of them could be the first batch to graduate early, not including Principal Ding himself.

"So when are we planning for their small graduation ceremony, when the nine of them receive their diplomas?"

After examining the list, Ding Yue asked Qi Chunsheng.

All of these things needed to be arranged by Qi Chunsheng, the Director of the Registrar. Ding Yue was only responsible for signing his name as the principal on their diplomas, and attending their small graduation ceremony to present them.

The reason why Ding Yue called this early graduation of nine students a "small graduation ceremony" is that the first large-scale graduation ceremony of Mist City Arts and Science University was clearly slated for the early summer of 2024.

These nine students were graduating early. In order to motivate the other students, Ding Yue had decided to hold a "small graduation ceremony."

"Principal Ding, because the nine students have different schedules for their thesis defenses, we can’t confirm a date yet. After all the students complete their defenses, we in the registrar’s office will arrange it at the earliest opportunity. By that time, I will report to you, Principal Ding, immediately."

Qi Chunsheng replied.

"Alright!"

Principal Ding nodded, then asked Qi Chunsheng about the third significant matter related to teaching.

This matter was also connected to the most important task Principal Ding was currently undertaking.

"Director Qi, how is the progress of our work in establishing cooperation and exchange relationships between Mist City Arts and Science University and other universities? I’m not talking about the Computer and Mechanical departments, but about the Medical School and School of Architecture," Ding Yue asked.

The reason he did not mention the Mechanical and Computer departments was because the departments had already met the "[Key Major Level]" task requirement.

Correct!

After establishing cooperation and exchange relationships with the Mechanical Engineering department at Qinghua University and the Artificial Intelligence Science department at Yancheng University, due to mutual exchange and cooperation amongst the professionals, these two departments had already achieved 100% of the task progress.

Out of five departments, two had completed their tasks, a progression of 2/5.

The "[Key Major Level]" was a large task, and a progress of 2/5 was not an easy feat already.

Moreover, barring any unexpected circumstances, the Medical School and the School of Architecture should soon meet the requirements too.

"Principal Ding, the School of Architecture and East China Architecture and Engineering University are in close and frequent contact, and as for the Medical School, after establishing a cooperative and exchange relationship with Mist City Medical University, our teaching strength has greatly increased. In addition, considering the substantial budget that has been allocated for the purchase of equipment, advancements in teaching hardware were further realized," Director Qi reported seriously to Principal Ding.

At the same time, Principal Ding also reviewed the task progress of these two departments.

One was at 98%, the other at 94%.

They were also closing in on completion.

"What about the Animation department?" Principal Ding asked again.

That left the fifth major that Ding Yue was planning to develop, namely the Animation Design and Production major.

"The main work of the Animation department is actually closely linked to Feiyue Animation Studio. For specifics, I still need to speak with Teacher Xu," Qi Chunsheng seemed not to fully understand the situation of the Animation department.

Perhaps it was because the Animation specialization was quite unique.

After all, the student talents of the Animation department had all entirely entered Feiyue Animation Studio, and the situation of Feiyue Animation Studio represented the situation of the Animation department.

And Feiyue Animation Studio was essentially under the control of Xu Jiuge.

"No need, I’ll call Xu Jiuge over to report to me personally," Principal Ding thought for a moment. Since whether the Animation department could be rated as a provincial key specialization by the system was crucial to his successful completion of the task, it was better to inquire about the situation himself.

"Okay," Hearing this, Director Qi could only nod in agreement.

"Secretary Little Wen," Principal Ding turned to his secretary, Wen Ruohan.

"Eh, Principal Ding, may I assist you with anything?" Wen Ruohan, upon hearing Principal Ding calling her, immediately ran over.

"Please call Xu Jiuge of the Feiyue Animation Studio," Principal Ding instructed.

The Animation department of Mist City Arts and Science University had laid a robust foundation, with the successful precedent of "Super Combat Team."

Therefore, Principal Ding selected this major as the fifth provincial key specialization.

To reach the standards set by the system, it was necessary to expand aspects such as the teaching and influence of the Animation department.

Only by improving these aspects, could the progress at the system evaluation end be advanced.

The current real-time progress of the Animation department was 84%.

Indeed, when compared to the two departments that had already been completed, and the two nearing completion, it was lacking.

It seemed.

Principal Ding had to put in some more effort to complete this big task as soon as possible. Wouldn’t it be delightful to receive the reward for the task?
