Training program for doctoral graduate students in natural geography

1．Subject name and professional code

Subject name：Physical Geography

professional code：070501

2．Professional introduction

Natural geography takes the earth surface, that is, the natural geographical environment as the research object, and makes a comprehensive study of the various elements of the natural geographical environment, in order to clarify the whole of the natural geographical environment, the structure, function, dynamic evolution and regional differentiation of the elements and their interaction. The modern natural geography focuses on the earth surface system and the composition, structure, function and dynamic characteristics of the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere, which constitute the system, as well as the geo ecological process mechanism and response system of the interaction between the various circles, especially the human activities to the natural geographical environment. The relationship between human and natural geographical environment, the influence of global change on the natural geographical environment, and the coordinated development of population, resources, environment and regional development are discussed.

After several generations of geographers' hard work, Henan University's natural geography major has been based on the Qinling Mountains Huang Huai junction and the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River for many years, based on the theory of modern natural geography, and vigorously develops the cross between ecology, environmental science and resource science. The single subject, unified model, and the limitation of deterministic science, using a multifaceted and multi angle integration method to study the same scientific problem in the same characteristic region, has achieved a series of high level research results, and is in the forefront of the country in the whole, and in some key areas is in the leading position in the country.

7．Credit requirements for academic degrees

The postgraduate credits are divided into two parts: curriculum credits and paper credits. The credits are the credits obtained by graduate students according to subject courses, classroom learning and curriculum assessment, including the whole school compulsory courses, public basic courses, professional basic courses, professional elective courses and remedial courses and other courses and academic activities, Practice credits; thesis credits are credits acquired in all links of graduate training process, including opening report, mid-term examination, pre defense and dissertation. Graduate curriculum assessment is divided into two types: examination and examination. All the required courses are examination courses. The examination method is written in class (including closed volume and open book). The elective course is the examination course. The examination method can be the class examination, oral examination or submission report (including summary, summary, experience, etc.), course paper and other forms of degree course examination results greater than or equal to 70 points (100%). Credit can be obtained only if other courses are greater than or equal to 60 points, and credits can be obtained. The retraining must be carried out according to the teaching plan of the teaching plan with the next level of teaching, and the results of the other examination are not valid, if the actual situation of the teaching is changed, except for the absence of the corresponding courses at the next level.

According to the requirements of graduate school, postgraduates of physical geography must finish their assignments before graduation. They can graduate through all examinations and complete 50 credits.

8．Training ways and methods

The training is guided by the combination of tutor responsibility system and tutor group responsibility system. Every student must have a clear responsible tutor, specifically responsible for all aspects of student training process. In order to give full play to the advantages of collective guidance, the important links in the training process must be done through collaborative guidance from the tutor group.

Within two months after students' enrollment, the tutor should make up the training plan according to the regulations of the school and the college and the characteristics of the students, and specify the course of learning, the literature of reading, the expected goal of scientific research, and the tentative idea of the thesis. We advocate wide caliber training, and teaching and research should actively expand to the adjacent areas. The training plan is put forward by the tutor and approved by the academic degree committee or the Dean, respectively, to the college and graduate school.

Student training is mainly based on scientific research, supplemented by classroom teaching, focusing on training independent creative scientific research ability and rigorous scientific style. According to the scientific research topic and broaden the training caliber and expand the need of knowledge, we should choose cross curriculums and interdisciplinary courses. Professional course examination is carried out by combining separate examination and comprehensive examination. At least one comprehensive examination is conducted. According to the regulations of schools and colleges, the mid-term examination of students is carried out.

Students report to their tutors at least once a month about their progress in thought, learning and research, and listen to their tutors' guidance. According to the needs of the work, after the nomination of the tutor, the sub committee of the academic degree may approve the vice - tutor of the associate professor above and assist the tutor to do a good job.

Doctoral dissertations must be done independently by students under the guidance of their tutors. Teachers and students should abide by academic ethics and academic norms, and prevent fraudulent practices. The students of the same academic ability should take part in the main courses of the master's degree (2 doors) and take part in the defense before taking part in the thesis defense.
