Abstract

The undergraduate tutorial system is one of the main ways to achieve full staff education and brings much beneficial to the students. Undergraduate tutorial system can help students attend innovative and scientific training and make students not limited to textbooks, enable them to expand knowledge, increase awareness, enhance their brain flexibility, meticulous thinking, and rigorous research. There are also many problems in practicing the undergraduate tutorial system and may result in ‘no contact’ and ‘no effect’. This paper introduces nine years’ practicing and improving undergraduate tutorial system in civil engineering of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. The first intervention time and method was adjusted. The work content and students’ assignments were established. After continuous improvement the students’ satisfaction has improved. It shows that the clear orientation, well-defined assignments and cross grade group building can help to promote the efficiency of undergraduate tutorial system.

Keywords
