The night is long and beautiful. Although Duke is often hit by Shu Ya, the two of them are still very happy to chat. Because they have been fully energetic before, they chatted happily until dawn. The next day was rare. The sky of Boston after the snow was blue, and the golden sunlight shone on the windowsill. Occasionally, a trace of leaking through the curtains shines into the room, making people feel particularly warm. "Oh... Duke, I'm a little sleepy. I don't know how many days it will take to switch the jet lag. What are you going to do today?" Shu Ya yawned. As soon as it was dawn, the two of them were sleepy after chatting all night.

"I'm going to visit the professor first, and the professor will determine the course plan, and then ask for a study book list, go to the library to borrow it and start studying. We also have to pass 8 doctoral courses before we can finish the course and start writing papers. I heard that after the study, we will have to take the doctoral qualification exam. I came here from thousands of miles away. I don't want to go back in shame after dying." Duke said. "Where are you?"

"It seems that we don't have any exams, but yesterday the tutor gave me a list of teaching case materials. Today I also want to go to the information room to borrow reference materials to come back to see it. It is said that our study mainly involves case analysis. If we don't do our homework in advance, it would be bad if we were named by the professor in class. In some courses, our scores account for 50% of our academic performance. So although there is no formal exam, it seems like an exam every day. I heard that even grabbing seats in class is like fighting." Shu Ya looked bitter when she said about studying.

"And we have to learn ten courses in the first year, and we don't know how to get ahead. We don't have much time to chat like this in the future. To complete these ten courses, we don't know how many reports and case analysis we have to do to pass the test."

I never thought that you, a genius girl, would be afraid of difficulties.

"It seems we all have to live a hard time." Duke concluded finally, ending the night of chatting.

The course plan for MIT PhD is determined mainly by students' independent choices, but it must meet the requirements of school rules and obtain the consent of the instructor. The school requires students to determine the second major before choosing a course. The second major is generally determined by students based on their interests or scientific research needs, which is mainly reflected through the courses, that is, they must choose two courses for the second major. Since Duke does not need teaching assistants to earn scholarships to supplement themselves, now it is not short of this amount of money, and time is relatively more precious to Duke.

According to MIT's requirements, doctoral students usually have to take 8 courses and have to have excellent grades before they can complete their credits. Duke got the 2013 spring course schedule and carefully studied it. He found that most courses are 3 to 5 hours a week. People who are used to stumble at home should not think it is easy. You should know that the MIT professors are very fast in class. Basically, they will pull the key points of the course to give students a general idea. To deeply understand the course content, they mainly rely on students to study by themselves. If they can't learn by themselves, they can go home directly. MIT professors will not be your nanny.

Duke downloaded the latest research results papers related to the courses and threw them directly to Kerry after downloading them. In less than a week, on Friday afternoon, Duke finally "studyed" these courses and read the borrowed books in a complete manner. Although it was a waste of time, don't forget that these are more than 60 professional books, each book ranged from 200 to 300 pages, and the most were thousands of pages, with a total of more than 10,000 pages. Even if you just pass it once, it would be a huge torture for Duke's brain and eyes. After absorbing this knowledge, Kerry generated a review report for these eight courses in the blink of an eye.

With his eyes as red as a rabbit, Duke came to the printing room with the U disk of the copy review report. The U disk was the hard work of the past few days. Each of these eight courses Duke will take is about 10,000 words in length, but it lists the key points of the course's knowledge, current research hotspots, and even some wrong views in books, and the key points that may be broken through in the future. If the professor in the class saw this report, he would definitely be surprised, because this report was clearly written by scholars who have studied this course for several years. No, ordinary scholars may not even be able to write so clearly.

Yes, these reports have already included the essence of all the information Duke collected. Of course, in today's world, who can compare with Kerry's supercomputer, may have to remove more amazing existences than Lyme. Now more than 60 books and related papers and reports have been completely absorbed into Kerry's knowledge base. Following this organized knowledge base, Duke even wondered if he had learned this knowledge, because everything seemed very familiar. For example, just saw a thought about a problem, Kerry could always quickly extract the knowledge content related to the problem, so that Duke could easily understand it.

After all, Duke studied for graduate school through his own abilities. He had studied the foundation of these courses, but some things were not very clear after a long time. Now he can read the knowledge base compiled by Kerry at any time, just like bringing a library at any time. These professional knowledge is like taking root in Duke's mind as if he was on call. Therefore, Duke felt that he had grown a lot for a while. This is normal. From the perspective of brain science, a person's intelligence can actually be divided into multiple parts, and memory ability is undoubtedly one of the most important links. Duke, who has Kerry, is now equivalent to a genius who can never forget everything. This learning speed has certainly become very terrifying.

After printing those reports, it felt like I had completed an important topic. I worked hard for almost a week, and tomorrow was the weekend. Duke decided to give himself a day off, relax his nervous body, take a good night's sleep first, then go out for a walk, visit Boston, and go to a genuine Western food to reward himself. Of course, it would be better if Shu Ya, a genius girl, could be together.

Thinking of this, Duke raised his hand and took out his phone and sent a text message to Shu Ya. Now their mobile phone numbers have been changed to local numbers. Speaking of which, Shu Ya took care of it. Somehow, Shu Ya chose two numbers that were only one different. Shu Ya called Duke and called him to report it if someone wanted his own number. He didn't bother to remember it. This reason was quite powerful, which made Duke, who was busy at the time, feel a little sweaty.

After a while, Shu Ya called and said with a frustration that she had just finished class and would write a report tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and there was no time to go shopping. Duke was a little disappointed, so he said he would go to eat authentic Western food. Shu Ya immediately became energetic and strongly demanded that the place be changed near the school, so that she would definitely take time to sacrifice her life to accompany the gentleman.
