On September 4, 2024, the undergraduate teaching meeting on the 2024 fall semester was successfully held at the office building of Puhe Campus. Pan Yishan, Secretary of the CPC Committee of Liaoning University attended the meeting and delivered a speech. Vice President Li Yupeng attended the meeting and made work arrangements. The meeting was presided over by Song Peng, Director of the Teaching Affairs Department.

On behalf of the Party Committee of Liaoning University, Pan Yishan extended his gratitude to all the teachers who had been working hard for the evaluation of undergraduate teaching. In this process, the whole university worked together to deliver on the requirements made by the Party Committee of the university. He noted that talent training is vital to the realization of the long-term goals put forward at the university’s 13th Party Congress. To fully understand the significance of undergraduate teaching, it is important to strengthen the Party’s overall leadership over undergraduate teaching to consolidate the vital importance of talent cultivation and the fundamental role of undergraduate teaching.

Pan Yishan called for all colleges and schools to integrate the message of the cadres’ meeting to upgrade undergraduate teaching quality. He stressed that to achieve that, efforts should be made in three areas: teaching, taking notes and integration of real issues. Teachers should prepare courses conscientiously and teach in a way that is easy for students to understand. Students should listen and take notes carefully. All colleges and schools should integrate real issues into teaching, boosting the reform of talent training modes and cultivating students’ abilities to innovate and to solve problems.

Li Yupeng summarized the previous evaluation and undergraduate teaching. She analyzed the current situation of evaluation and planned for the next round. She noted that colleges and schools should work hard for the evaluation in an orderly and effective manner. Efforts should be made in the revision of talent training program, quality of undergraduate teaching, rectification of teaching documents, rectification of off-campus training and training bases, improvement of evaluation-related documents, all staff training for evaluation and completing the questionnaire of the Ministry of Education. She added that all teachers should fully reflect on the specific measures which put students at the core to improve teaching quality. Reform of talent training modes should also be made by integrating real societal issues into teaching, scientific research and social services. She stressed that currently in a critical period of evaluation, all teachers should work hard to hold on to hard-won achievements and follow the principle of seeking progress while maintaining stability.
