Chapter 4: Is This the Devil?!

Submitted the topic, went straight to the comprehensive office building.

Wang Hao went to the office on the sixth floor and waved to the people he knew.

He made a cup of coffee and sat down.

He opened the prepared lesson plan and carefully went through it again.

It's still stressful to teach for the first time.

In the previous life, he worked at an educational institution for ten years and never thought he would one day teach professional mathematics courses to students in the university classroom.

Thinking about it, he was still very much looking forward to it.

The lesson plan was prepared the day before, containing the content of the current class, with the core knowledge being one thing - the Fourier Transform method.

The Fourier Transform method, also known as the Fourier Transform, relies on one's deep understanding of the content. He divided the Fourier Transform method into several parts and planned to explain the surface level.

The undergraduate content is still very simple, just understanding the basics of Fourier Transform.

Nine thirty.

Wang Hao went to the large classroom on the side of the third teaching building.

He pushed the door open.

He scanned the classroom and found that there were only a few students scattered around, most of them sitting in the middle and back rows.

There was only one student sitting in the front row.

The student put the textbook aside and was concentrating on playing with his phone, emitting a silly laugh.

Wang Hao walked straight over.

"Hello, what's your name?" Wang Hao stood beside him and glanced at him. He found that he was watching short videos, so he asked.

The student raised his head in confusion and looked at Wang Hao, "Bi Chenggong."

"Bi Chenggong!" Wang Hao gave a thumbs up. "What a good name! I wish you success in the future, just like your name suggests."

Bi Chenggong blushed slightly and asked loudly in embarrassment, "Who are you, do you need something?"

Wang Hao didn't answer, but picked up the student roster and looked through it from top to bottom.

Class 2, Bi Chenggong!

Match!

Bi Chenggong leaned over and took a look, then looked back at Wang Hao with extreme surprise, scrutinizing the person in front of him, and said incredulously, "Are you... Teacher Wang Hao?"

"It seems like you already know." Wang Hao smiled.

"You're so young, I thought you were a student!" Bi Chenggong said in surprise.

"So many people say that." Wang Hao touched his cheek with his hand, smiled indifferently, and asked, "This is my first time teaching you. Can you tell me about the specific progress of your class?"

He knew the general progress, and also prepared a lesson plan, but the progress might vary slightly from class to class.

Bi Chenggong immediately flipped open the book.

Other people also heard the conversation between the two and looked over.

Several people also crowded around, calling out "Teacher Wang Hao" softly; many people looked over from a distance, whispering to each other, and the topic was also about Wang Hao.

The news about Wang Hao was on the news, and they also heard that Wang Hao would become their course teacher.

Although the news was negative, Wang Hao was still a twenty-something doctoral student from Donggang, and he was practically a "legend."

They were just undergraduates of West Sea University.

West Sea University was just an ordinary university, at most a "key" university. It couldn't even make the top three in the northwest region. Graduating from undergraduate studies and finding a good job wasn't easy.

Not to mention participating in experiments due to mistakes and not even having the qualifications to participate.

...

Class time was approaching.

Wang Hao sat behind the lectern, carefully reviewing the content in the textbook.

This class was about "Fourier Transform," a widely used mathematical method, with its primary mathematical application being the analysis of partial differential equations.

The "Fourier Transform" also has many applications in other fields.

For example, computer algorithms.

The "Discrete Fourier Transform" is one of the main algorithms used in computers.

Suddenly, Wang Hao thought of a question, "Now that I'm teaching about Fourier Transform, I'll definitely get many related inspirations."

"So, establishing a research and development task related to Fourier Transform will definitely be very rewarding!"

"Yes!"

He immediately opened the system and tried to create a task named "Fourier Transform."

[Task creation failed, "Fourier Transform" is not a research and development content.]

"Failed."

Wang Hao frowned and thought carefully, then added a few words.

[Task creation successful, new task initiated!]

[Task 2]

[Research and development project name: Extension of algorithm application of Discrete Fourier Transform (Difficulty: c.)]

[Inspiration value: 0.]

Sure enough, it worked!

Wang Hao's eyes lit up suddenly. He looked at the time, then glanced at the students in the classroom, feeling much more familiar with them.

Many students entered the classroom one after another.

People came and went, the flow was continuous.

Wang Hao stood on the platform, with his young face, ordinary attire, and gentle smile, making the students feel comfortable. It seemed as if they were being taught by a peer, not a university teacher.

Many students couldn't help but think, "Teacher Wang seems very approachable!"

"If we skip class a few times, it'll probably be fine to talk to him!"

"I bet the exams will be easy!"

"We'll ace this subject!"

Wang Hao stood there with a smile, seemingly unconcerned about everything, until no more students entered the room and the last student found his seat.

He tried the microphone's volume, then spoke, "Everyone, quiet down, class is starting."

"Today is my first official lecture since coming to West Sea University. To be honest, I feel quite nervous. It took me several hours to prepare the lesson plan."

"My name is Wang Hao, very ordinary, I'm sure many of you already know. For those who don't, you can check out the news from Donggang University of Technology a couple of days ago, where the male lead responsible for significant losses due to mistakes in material research is me."

"Haha."

Many students below laughed.

They found it amusing that the new teacher would start the class with self-deprecating humor about his "work mistakes making the news."

When the classroom quieted down again, Wang Hao continued, "This incident, personally, I feel very uncomfortable about it. Right after it happened, I felt so frustrated that I almost jumped off a building..."

He said it in a joking tone, but no student believed him at all.

Everyone thought he was just joking.

"But life must go on, and we must face what needs to be faced, just like me standing here to teach. I can't choose my students, and you can't choose your teachers."

"I just hope that all of you will listen carefully and grasp the knowledge and methods of 'Partial Differential Equations' in this course correctly."

"You are all majoring in Applied Mathematics, and 'Partial Differential Equations' can be said to be one of the most important courses."

"No matter if you are going to do research or anything else in the future, as long as it's related to mathematics, you will definitely need it."

Wang Hao paused here for a moment, becoming more serious, "As for me, I don't have high demands on teaching."

"My requirements for you are only three points."

The students in the classroom listened attentively. They all felt that they had a teacher who was easy to talk to, so the course would definitely be easy to pass.

But then they felt something was off.

"The first point is that you must attend class and cannot be late. Starting from the next class, if any student is unreasonably late four times or absent twice, I will directly consider them as failing. Even if they score full marks on the exam, they will still fail."

"The second point is that you must listen attentively in class. Sleeping and using your phone are not allowed. If caught once, I will deduct your participation grade. If it happens frequently, you will fail directly."

"The last point is that you must complete your homework independently. If there is any plagiarism, please don't let me find out. In addition, during the exercise class, I will randomly check individual students based on their homework situation. I may also ask some students to come to the stage and explain to everyone."

"These are the three small requirements."

Wang Hao said the requirements very seriously. The classroom suddenly became quiet, and when the students looked at his smile, they all felt as if it was the smile of a devil.

It's too scary!

How could the requirements be so strict? Aren't you afraid of too many students failing?

Wang Hao seemed to hear everyone's thoughts and immediately explained the issue, "Some students might think, with such high requirements, there will definitely be many failing students."

"Indeed, other teachers would be concerned about this issue," he said with a smile, "I'm not worried."

"You probably don't know that my contract with the school is only for one year. Whether I can continue to be a lecturer next semester is still uncertain, but it's highly unlikely."

"So, do you think I care about how many students fail?"

Wang Hao pursed his lips and continued, "Even if all of you fail, not one passes, it's okay, I don't mind..."

He still smiled.

The students in the classroom were all stunned, their hearts full of expletives.

How could this be a university teacher?

It's a devil!
