Some thoughts from a professor
1 As both a college professor and parent of a college student, this time of year always ems to rai a variety of thoughts as freshly minted high school graduates head off to their new adventures. In a couple of weeks, green first-year students will be wandering around campus everywhere, looking young and confud.

六年级上册英语书作为一名大学教授和一名大学生的家长，每年的这个时候，当刚毕业的高中毕业生开始他们的新冒险时，各种各样的想法似乎总是会出现。再过几个星期，绿色的新生们就会在校园里到处游荡，看起来年轻而迷茫。
2 "Where do I find Burdine Hall?" asks the first year looking impossibly young.
语言表达能力“我在哪里可以找到伯丁会堂?”一个看上去年轻得不可思议的新生问道。
3 "It's that building right behind you," I answer with a smile, knowing that I will have this conversation veral times over the next few days.

“就是你身后的那座大楼，”我微笑着回答，因为我知道在接下来的几天里我会有好几次这样的对话。
4 Parents and students are nervous, excited, worried about paying bills, and so on. It's a big transition. So what do professors think about all of this? I can't speak for all of my colleagues, but I do have a few suggestions for parents and students heading off to college. First a few thoughts for students:
家长和学生们紧张、兴奋、担心支付账单等等。这是一个巨大的转变。那么教授们是怎么看待这些的呢?我不能代表所有的同事，但我确实有一些建议给即将上大学的家长和学生。首先是给学生的一些想法:
5 Don't get too stresd out, particularly about grades. The first mester may be a little rough as the transition to college evolves. AP students, in particular, need to be careful a
现在时bout stressing over grades. You've been sold a bill of goods if your teachers told you AP class are just like college class. They aren't. College class are more difficult and much more thorough. If you attend a rearch university, you will be studying with the people who write the books and articles and they will be teaching bad upon both their own and others' rearch. It will be challenging.
不要太紧张，尤其是关于分数。随着向大学的过渡，第一学期可能会有点艰难。AP课程的学生尤其需要小心对待分数带来的压力。如果你的老师告诉你AP课程就像大学课程一样，那么你就被骗了。他们不是。大学课程更困难，也更全面。如果你上的是研究型大学，你将和写书和文章的人一起学习，他们将根据自己和他人的研究进行教学。这将是一个挑战。
6 Don't be frightened by the faculty. Yes, we all have PhD degrees, but we are there to help you learn. Professors can be busy people. Teaching is only part of our job. At a rearch university, professors are expected to have ongoing rearch programs that require supervision of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and we spend a lot of ti
cmeme writing and collecting data. Take advantage of that. Visit your professors during office hours and find out how you can get involved in their rearch. Faculty usually welcome help and want undergraduates to become involved in rearch. They also really like talking about their work.
不要被老师吓倒。是的，我们都有博士学位，但我们是来帮助你学习的。教授可能是很忙的人。教书只是我们工作的一部分。在研究型大学里，教授们需要有一些正在进行的研究项目，这些项目需要研究生和博士后的指导，我们需要花费大量的时间来撰写和收集数据。好好利用这一点。在办公时间拜访你的教授，看看你如何能参与到他们的研究中去。教师通常欢迎帮助，并希望本科生参与研究。他们也很喜欢谈论自己的工作。
7 Take advantage of the educational opportunity in front of you. You should have fun in college, but you are there to study and to learn. U the libraries, faculty, and other resources to get every ounce you can out of your college.
利用你面前的教育机会。你应该在大学里过得很开心，但你的目的是学习和学习。充分利用图书馆、教师和其他资源，充分利用你大学里的每一分钱。
8 Don't be dominated by anyone, including your parents, in choosing your major. Every year I have one or two students telling me that Mom and Dad are forcing them to do premed, but they hate it. It's your life, make of it what you want and find something to study that fascinates you. Besides, if you don't really want to be a doctor, you probably won't be very good at it and you certainly won't be happy.
supermemo
在选择专业时，不要被任何人，包括你的父母主宰。每年都有一两个学生跟我说爸妈逼着他们上医学预科，但他们不喜欢。这是你的生活，让它成为你想要的，并找到让你着迷的东西去研究。此外，如果你真的不想成为一名医生，你可能不会很擅长它，你肯定不会快乐。
9 Don't call your professors by their first names unless they invite you to do so. Write emails with proper grammar, spelling, and capitalization. First impressions matter and your professors will likely be people who write your reference letters in the future. Get to know them, but be polite.
不要直呼教授的名字，除非他们邀请你这么做。用正确的语法、拼写和大写字母写电子邮
件。第一印象很重要，你的教授很可能是将来给你写推荐信的人。去了解他们，但是要有礼貌。
10 For parents, here are some things to keep in mind:
at prent
对于父母来说，以下是一些需要牢记的事情:
11 Leave your kids alone. Let them explore college and let them make mistakes. They will learn from tho mistakes and grow up in the process. Don't hover over them and don't constantly check to make sure they are doing laundry or that they are studying. Encourage them to do well, but don't stress them out. Once a student told me his father warned him that anything less than a 3.5 GPA would mean he'd be financially cut off. This is not a way to support your child as he or she gets accustomed to a new and different lifestyle and a complicated t of demands.
