The next day after breakfast, Xu Manman went to the counselor's office.
The office door is half-open.
"Report."
"Come in."
Xu Manman pushed the door open and walked in, "Teacher Zhao, you're looking for me."
Zhao Xiaofeng saw the person coming and put down the teacup in his hand. "Oh, it's Xu, come in quickly. I'm here to discuss your minor."
Xu Manman had expected this and listened quietly to the counselor continue speaking.
"I submitted your application to the academy, and they discussed it and affirmed your eagerness to learn. However, this issue involves issues with the Foreign Languages Department, so I also submitted this issue to the school.
Actually, your situation is not unique. The school has received many applications, so we take this issue very seriously and have been holding meetings to discuss it in the past few days."
Xu Manman nodded. This was the normal procedure and she understood it.
Zhao Xiaofeng continued, "After discussion, the school has preliminarily approved your application for a cross-disciplinary minor. However, due to scheduling conflicts and the current limited teaching staff, those of you applying for a minor will not be able to take your second major courses in time.
Therefore, the school allows not to record your regular grades for the second major, but the examinations are taken together with the students of the current major. If you fail the examinations, you will not be able to obtain a degree certificate for the second major.
The department leaders also made a requirement that students must not only pass their major, but also score no less than 80 points in each subject. Otherwise, they will be disqualified from taking a second major.
Taking a second major puts great demands and pressure on students. First of all, the main major must not be neglected. Due to schedule conflicts, the second major needs to be self-study most of the time. This is entirely up to the students themselves.
Although you cannot get a degree in this major if you fail the exam, it seems that you still have your major as a backup. However, in this situation where your focus is scattered, you cannot invest so much energy in this major. If you are not careful, you may lose your major.
This is why there is such a supplementary clause at the end, which is also a tight rein for students.
Anyway, Zhao Xiaofeng admits that his abilities are limited.
Xu Manman listened carefully to the counselor's words and said, "Teacher, I'm applying to minor in English. Do I need to submit any documents?"
Zhao Xiaofeng looked at the sincere student and felt that he had to remind him, "Xu Manman, if you want to apply for a second major, you must not fall behind in your studies in this major. You will also have to rely on self-study when you apply.
The teacher knows that you are good at English and have a great advantage in this area, but this major still involves a lot of professional things in the later stages, which cannot be achieved through self-study alone."
"Teacher Zhao, I've thought about it."
Xu Manman appreciated the teacher's kindness, but self-study was no big deal for her, who had a golden finger. She had nothing in short supply except time and money, and she also had a one-on-one top teacher. What could she not learn?
In fact, according to the current system, it would not exceed the regulations for her to apply to study more, but Xu Manman still felt that it was unnecessary. If she took too big a step, it would easily lead to something else.
Seeing the students' confident faces, Zhao Xiaofeng said nothing more. After all, people are different. Less than a month after the start of school, he had already deeply felt the IQ gap between them, the workers, peasants and soldiers, and the group who came in through self-study examinations.
Zhao Xiaofeng took out a stamped note from the drawer and said, "You are not allowed to submit any additional documents. This is a note from our college. Take this to the Foreign Affairs Department office and you should register there.
Oh, by the way, you also need to get a set of English textbooks, so you have to prepare the textbook fees. The specific amount will be based on the fee standards of the Foreign Languages Department."
Xu Manman took the note, bowed to thank the counselor, and then came out of the office.
Class is about to start, and it is too late to go now, so she decided to go to the Foreign Languages Department during the break. It would be better to make it up early so that she can feel at ease.
Back in the classroom, Xu Manman looked calm.
The third child, Wang Zhen, didn't take it seriously and just casually asked, "Youngest, what does the counselor want to see you about?"
"Nothing serious, just that I'm starting to get a minor in English."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Zhen almost spit out the water in his mouth.
She knew what this thing meant when separated, but she couldn't understand why it was put together. "Minor... major? What does that mean?"
Before class started, Xu Manman explained everything to her and Lao Wu.
