 Questions (考生疑虑解答)

注：以下内容仅代表陈兆委个人观点以及这些年来所遇到报考学生的提问，不代表学院官方及其他任何教师观点。旁观者请勿对号入座。

1、文章作者如何安排？

答：上面陈老师第一作者的文章是其在博士和博士后期间发表工作，并非入职福大之后学生的工作。现在组内学生自己的工作，学生自己排第一作者，陈老师不会要第一作者。

2、是否会安排学生做实验室或科研以外的杂活？

答：陈老师注重学习，希望学生把精力集中在学习、科研和长技能等方面上。如果在实在忙不过来的时候，麻烦学生帮忙做自己个人事务时，会自掏腰包提供一定的酬劳。

3、会提供学习和科研上的指导吗？

答：陈老师能做好为人师表的本职工作：实验上遇到问题，会通过组会或平时讨论，帮助分析实验失败的原因，提供相应的实验建议、或者寻找解决方法的思路、或者跟学生一起做实验，解决问题；此外，也会从文献阅读、解析文献、文章写作等方面提供指导；也会及时修改文章，尊重学生的每一个工作，不论发表在哪里，都会认真修改。

4、老师会催着要数据吗？

答：陈老师不会push。会跟学生一起制定好课题规划，以把课题做清楚、做明白为原则，按部就班推进课题进展，不论课题大小。

5、组内氛围如何？

答：陈老师要求组里一定要团结，大家相互尊重，反对恶意竞争。大家来自五湖四海，相聚一起是缘分，希望在陈组读书能给每个学生留下一段美好回忆。

6、额外要求有吗？

答：不能在实验室打游戏、看小说、刷视频。

7、是否会延期毕业？

答：陈老师坚决不会故意延期学生毕业，一切按照福大相关条例进行，只要达到学校毕业要求，会保证让学生按时毕业；如果学生自己因找工作等原因，需要延期，不反对也不强迫。

8、最后请理清思路：

所有事情，需要个人努力；老师主要是指导、解惑、提建议，并非像保姆一样，替你去做你自己该做的事。

科研没有捷径，可能的捷径就是发自内心的愿意去多花时间、多花心思专注于科研，真心实意地去改善自己的不足，提高自己能力 （不是老师求着你去做到）；到最后毕业时，能成为一个独立完成课题的研究生。

如果有跟老师抓迷藏或者认为是在给老师完任务的心态，建议慎重考虑是否要到组里攻读研究生。
