Chapter 126 Course Selection
There is also a line of warm reminder under the first dean’s quotation on the title page.
The Academy Logistics Department will provide a rich selection of well-paid academy tasks for students to take on.
In addition, the college has also set up a special trading area for internal trading among students.
Students who master magic skills can earn money by making corresponding magic items
Gaode calculated his savings and found that he still had 212 gold and 15 silver.
This is definitely not as good as those "second generation French" with family support.
But at least it ensures that he does not have to worry about course fees in the first academic year and can choose courses that interest him.
If it weren’t for this deposit, what Gaode would have to do now is go to the Logistics Department to take over college tasks and earn tuition fees.
And limited by the "tuition fee", he certainly cannot choose all the courses he is interested in. He can only slowly choose one course at a time like squeezing out toothpaste.
Instead of like now, when choosing a course, you only need to consider whether you are interested, not anything else.
This is exactly what verified the first half of the words of the first dean Ronan Horry, "The money in our hands is a tool to maintain freedom."
In the next hour, Gao Dezai carefully read the introduction of all the open courses set up by the college.
I also have a deeper understanding of the situation at Seris College.
Subsequently, he put down the scroll that introduced the course and opened another scroll that served as "Admission Approval."
It records the basic information of AutoNavi, the admission information and tutor information approved by the college, and finally the seal of the college committee.
After this, Gothe will use this scroll to report to his mentor.
"José O'Kenley, senior mentor, third-ring mage, director of the Rune Department, chief rune instructor, third-level rune master, good at rune analysis and reorganization, and rune construction."
On the scroll, there is only such a simple introduction to the instructor assigned to him.
Gaode frowned slightly.
It’s not that I am dissatisfied with the tutor assigned by the college.
How shameful would he be if he was still not satisfied with a third-ring mage as his mentor?
The reason why he frowned was because Jose O'Kenley was the chief rune instructor of the college.
Gaode has already understood in advance that in Sires Academy, mentors are very important to the students, and are even related to the students' development and future achievements.
The most direct point is that if students want to successfully "graduate" from the academy, they must first get the nod from their instructor.
Because according to the regulations of Sires Magic Academy, in order to "graduate" from the academy, the following conditions must be met:
1. Complete all required courses and obtain passing grades or above.
This is the most basic condition. If you cannot complete this, you are not considered a qualified mage at all.
2. Obtain more than 100 credits.
This is the minimum credit requirement to ensure that each student can achieve a certain depth and breadth of knowledge.
3. The mage level must be at least level 1 mage or above.
This is the minimum level requirement. If you are not even a formal mage, you are indeed not qualified to "graduate" from Sires Academy.
4. Complete a graduation project and pass the review by the college committee.
In order for students to graduate, they need to comprehensively use the knowledge, skills and even theories they have mastered to conduct in-depth research and practice on a specific problem and complete a specific design or research project.
This is a comprehensive test of the students’ knowledge and skills.
The mentor plays a vital role in this process.
It not only provides knowledge, resources and opportunities, but also directly determines whether the students' graduation projects can be successfully submitted for review and the final evaluation they receive.
According to Gaode's understanding, the relationship between tutors and students in Sires College is equivalent to the relationship between tutors and graduate students in previous lives.
Hands based on normal circumstances, there is a high probability that Jose O'Kenley, the head of the Runes Department, will teach students about "runes".
Even the research direction provided for students' graduation projects is most likely to be in the field of "runes".
In other words, since he has become a student of Jose O'Kenley, Gothe will inevitably get in touch with and learn "runes".
The problem lies here.
As one of the three royal families of magic craftsmen, "Rune Master" has always been the most mysterious, and the threshold is also recognized as the highest.
Gothe had never come into contact with "Rune Literature" before this, and he didn't even know what "Rune Literature" was.
He is not sure whether he will like this course and whether he can master it.
However, the assignment of mentors has been decided.
Even if Gothe discovers that he is not suitable for "Runeology", there will be almost no chance of changing his career.
"Alas." Gothe sighed slightly.
At any rate, in the previous life, graduate students chose their supervisors, or they chose both.
At this point, it became a blind selection.
It can only be settled once it has come.
Fortunately, Gao De, who has had excellent grades since childhood, has never encountered a subject that he cannot master, so he is still somewhat confident.
The selection of all courses and subjects in Sires Academy is arranged by the students themselves without any compulsion.
Even if it is a required course, you can postpone it until you are ready to "graduate".
Of course, it would be wishful thinking to "graduate" from the college without completing the college's courses and credit requirements.
After Gaode understood all the courses offered by the college, he came to the small committee building again, entered the hall, and walked to the course selection counter.
The receptionist is an old man in his fifties or sixties wearing a blue robe.
He was sitting behind the wide counter, sipping tea leisurely. The tea was so fragrant that people could smell it as soon as he got close.
As soon as Gothe approached, the old man put down his tea cup and asked with a smile: "Young man, do you want to choose a course?"
"Yes." Gothe nodded, and then handed over his identity plate.
The old man took the identity plate and swiped it on the alchemy machine in front of the counter. "Oh, you are a new student. What courses are you going to take?"
Gaode had already made a decision in his mind, and slowly announced the names of the elective courses he planned to take in the first year: ""Mage Basics", "Spell Application and Combat", and "Basic Cultural Courses"."
First of all, there are three compulsory courses. There is no doubt that he must take them.
"Mage Basics", "Spell Application and Combat", and "Basic Cultural Courses", the first two compulsory courses are divided into three stages, and it takes at least three school years to complete them all.
The first-stage course is priced at a flat price of 10 gold coins, and the credits are also 1 point.
"Basic Culture Course" can be completed in one academic year, and the credits are as high as 3 points, but the course fee is also more expensive, requiring 20 gold coins.
In addition, Gaode also took an elective branch course under the "Basic Culture Course": "Geography and War Geography of the Nolan Continent". The credit is 2 points and the course fee is 20 gold coins.
A branch course under "Spell Application and Combat": "Understanding of General Spells (Level 0-3)", the credit is 1 point, and the course fee is 10 gold coins.
These two courses are knowledge-based courses, and the assessment is just a paper.
As long as you attend the lectures and take the time to memorize the teaching materials, there is almost no chance of failing the "assessment".
This type of course is called "water course" by students in the college and is the best choice for water credit.
However, the reason why Gaode chose these two courses was not to obtain "Water" credits, but simply because he felt that the content of these two courses was very useful to him.
"Nolan Continent Geography and War Geography" can help him understand the world better.
"General Spells (Level 0-3) Knowledge" is to make up for Gaode's weakness in spell recognition.
