"Okay, Xiao Zhou and I will keep an eye out for you. Let me know when you're free in the near future, and we'll help you arrange the interview!" Even if they found a suitable candidate, they still needed Wu Tong's approval. Only with mutual agreement could they live up to Wu Tong's trust. Wu Tong was short on time, so they took care of these trivial details for him.

"Well, thank you Dean Pan for your trouble. I believe in your and Teacher Zhou's vision!" Wu Tong didn't have much experience in teaching and selecting students. When preparing for the interview, he also discussed with the two teachers about the precautions and experience of leading students.

She should also make it clear to the students that she may not be able to provide one-on-one, particularly detailed instruction.

She may be busy with her own research projects at any time, and most of the problems they may have to overcome by themselves. They need to accumulate knowledge about their learning problems, and she will give them detailed explanations when she has time. However, they cannot rely on her to care about their learning situation at all times, and everything still depends on themselves.

Wu Tong plans to explain all of this to students during the recruitment process, asking them to carefully consider their options before enrolling. While she has some academic achievements, that doesn't necessarily mean she'll be a good advisor. Therefore, choosing her as an advisor involves considering the potential risks involved.

Wu Tong also explained all of this to Dean Pan, and asked her to explain it clearly to the students who were planning to apply for her graduate program and seek her as their advisor. Once they were sure they could accept this model, they would interview her graduate students.

Wu Tong believed that one should be fully responsible, both in matters and in people. Not making it clear upfront was irresponsible, or worse, deceptive. She didn't feel the need to tarnish her reputation. She wasn't one of those black sheep looking for free labor.

Wu Tong will do her best to teach students diligently within the limited time she has. She has met excellent and kind teachers, and she is grateful for their unwavering support and guidance. She also hopes to continue this fine tradition.

After choosing good students, we must provide good guidance and not delay them.

"Haha... Don't worry, Wu Tong. No matter who you apply to be your supervisor, at the graduate stage, it all depends on their own awareness and spontaneous learning. They don't need hands-on instruction!" When Pan Wenhua saw Wu Tong acting unfamiliar, he couldn't help but explain with a smile.

There are obvious differences between college and junior high and high school. Teachers will no longer teach students hand-in-hand, but will rely more on students' self-awareness. At the graduate level and above, this self-awareness is also maximized. Everything depends on the students themselves, and there are no mentors who teach students hand-in-hand.

This was Wu Tong's first time recruiting students, so he didn't have much experience. But as he'd been teaching students for a while, he'd figured it out and wouldn't have to worry so much. For example, the vast majority of students they were recruiting now were managed and mentored by their doctoral students.

Of course, this doesn't mean they don't care about anything. It just means that if they have some simple questions, they don't need to report them to them. PhD students are more than capable of solving them. If they really have a difficult problem, they can come to them for help. This will save them time and help them teach more accurately!

Although Wu Tong was recruiting students for the first time, with both Master's and Doctoral students, the team could be quickly established. Furthermore, Xiao Li and Xiao Xu were watching over Wu Tong's research institute, so Wu Tong didn't need to worry too much about the students' guidance. Those who applied to Wu Tong were well aware of the situation.

Wu Tong, who is currently at the peak of his academic career, must have limited time to spare. However, Wu Tong underestimated his own appeal!

Not to mention the fact that she also provided guidance in solving problems, even if Wu Tong was just a figurehead, without having to do anything, she still had a constant stream of students flocking to her. Students of future Fields Medal winners, winners of the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, students who proved the Navier-Stokes equation... As long as Wu Tong could be included in these titles, they would be honored titles for her students.

Therefore, even if Wu Tong is just a figurehead, there will be countless students vying to be enrolled under his name.

After confirming Wu Tong's wishes, Pan Wenhua hung up the phone and immediately discussed arrangements with Professor Zhou Wenping. Although it's common practice to contact the instructor after the preliminary exam results are announced.

After being admitted by the admissions school, the graduate students can make a preliminary selection of their favorite supervisors based on their research interests, re-examination scores, and supervisor performance. In the process of selecting a supervisor, the graduate students need to understand the supervisor's research content, academic level, and other aspects, as well as the supervisor's guidance arrangements and plans for the graduate students, so as to make an accurate and reasonable choice.

Many people may have already decided on their supervisor before the re-examination list is released.

Good students and good mentors are equally sought after. Any mentor who wants to recruit a student hopes that their student will be excellent enough. Of course, this is a two-way street: every student hopes to be valued by a more outstanding teacher, so that they can make the leap and become a member of a prestigious family.

During the postgraduate stage, it is crucial to choose a good supervisor. A good supervisor represents excellent teaching resources and superior research resources... Especially at this stage, if you focus more on scientific research, you must choose carefully.

Graduate students' research abilities are developed under the guidance of their supervisors. If their supervisors' research abilities are limited and the students are left to explore on their own, achieving significant results in a particular area will be difficult. Therefore, before applying, you should try to understand your supervisor's research projects and funding.

These are the things Wu Tong lacks the most. Her mathematical knowledge is world-class, second to none, and arguably unmatched in China. Wu Tong's scientific research prowess, and the immense mathematical challenges she has conquered and proven, are her greatest testaments. As for Wu Tong's research resources, there's no need to worry about them. With an independent research institute, she enjoys abundant research funding available annually.

Even if there are no unexpected events, in March or April, students who are confirmed to study under Wu Tong will be given a higher title: "Student of an Academician." This honor is arguably the highest in the country.

Dean Pan and Zhou Wenping had no doubts about Wu Tong's selection. Wu Tong's contributions were evident, and the higher-ups weren't going to hold back his honors just because of his age.

As for those who deliberately deny opinions, as long as Jingda is still alive, they will not tolerate it. Some people bully Jingda. If they say that the child is incapable and deny it, then it is their own shortcomings and lack of ability. However, with such a huge contribution as Wu Tong, they can still lie with open eyes. Jingda will definitely teach those people a lesson. How many eyes does the Horse King have!
