Undergraduate doctor joke

In ancient China, the imperial examination system was the only way for poor students to change their own and their families' fate. According to the scale of taking the exam, people also divide the candidates into scholar, juren, Gong Shi and Jinshi.

Later, the imperial examination system was abolished, and the thinking of selecting talents by imperial examination was adopted by later generations, which became the current college entrance examination and later various grade examinations. Therefore, people also think that undergraduates, postgraduates, doctoral students and postdoctoral students are the same as those in the imperial examination system. This concept is not completely correct. Let's introduce some doorways.

First of all, we must make clear the difference between academic qualifications and degrees. As the name implies, education refers to the learning experience, which is the learning experience of attending a school recognized by the state and obtaining a graduation permit through an examination (not counting dropping out), so education can be primary school, middle school, junior college or undergraduate course, graduate student and so on.

Degree refers to the title awarded by national institutions of higher learning after study. This title represents the recognition of your learning ability and professional ability by the state and institutions. So far, China has only three degrees, namely, bachelor's degree, master's degree and doctor's degree. Many people think that postdoctoral work is a deeper degree after completing a doctorate, but this view is completely wrong. In essence, postdoctoral work belongs to jobs rather than degrees or academic qualifications.

According to the general cognition of the public at present, undergraduates who graduate from universities are graduate students if they succeed in postgraduate entrance examination, and then graduate students are doctoral students. This view is also wrong. According to the above point of view, graduate students are degrees and doctoral students are degrees. How can the two be discussed together? Then why do people have such cognitive biases?

Undergraduate students will begin to enter the postgraduate stage after the success of postgraduate entrance examination. The postgraduate learning process is divided into master students and doctoral students (master students are generally recognized graduate students). Moreover, if it is to be strictly divided, only students who successfully graduate after completing the thesis and passing the examination and graduation defense can be called masters, otherwise they can only be called masters, and so can doctors and doctoral students.

They are all graduate students, and there are many differences between master students and doctoral students. The training of graduate students in the college is mainly to cultivate their ability to work and think independently and their concentration in scientific research; For doctoral students, it is mainly to cultivate innovative ability and team leadership ability. To make a simple analogy, a master student can complete the experiment like getting a step-by-step process instruction; Doctoral students, on the other hand, can try to figure out the ideas of their predecessors after receiving instructions, and then make new assumptions themselves.

As for why the public calls master students graduate students and doctors directly, the reason is that China has implemented such a degree system since 198 1 1. At that time, there were very few undergraduates, even fewer graduate students, and even fewer people could read doctoral students.
