It wasn't until he retaken his career planning course that Xiao Gao first met the teacher for this course. Previously, he did not receive the credits for this elective course due to going to the wrong classroom. Xiao Gao said that the reason for choosing a career planning course is mainly because it is "sufficient". It has been 15 years since various universities launched career development and employment guidance courses in 2008. For 15 years, this course has been jokingly referred to as a "water course" in some students' evaluation systems. Many students, like Xiao Gao, choose classes but don't listen to them, and their homework is also casually fooled... However, it is not until they are about to graduate and face employment that many students suddenly realize that this "water course" also has its shining points, and some even come to the teacher specifically to request private "tutoring". What do students think of examples? When they chose to retake the "Water Course" in their sophomore year to supplement their credits, they had already taken a career planning course in their junior high school. At that time, the course schedule was once a week, and after the end of a semester, one credit could be earned. The reason why Xiao Gao chose this course is because he has long heard that it is a true "water course". Because of this, there are many students taking this course. And there are also many teachers in the school who offer this course, with one or two hundred people gathered in a large classroom for each class, and the teachers can't even name them. Xiao Gao always sits in the back of the classroom every time he attends class, and he doesn't even listen with his ears or pay attention to the teacher's roll call. It wasn't until the end of the semester when he had to hand in his homework that he realized he had mistaken the classroom from beginning to end. The teacher who taught the course was not the one he had chosen, and as a result, he hung up on this "water course" without any hesitation. In order to make up for this credit, he chose to retake this course, still because it was "water" - better. As for what was taught in this class, Xiao Gao never paid attention to it. Xiao Ting, Xiao Gao's senior sister, also said that she no longer remembers what the teacher said in class. Xiaoting is a career planning course in her freshman year, where she either plays with her phone, does homework for other subjects, or simply takes a nap. Now when I think of it, I only remember that the final assignment was "interviewing a practitioner of my intended profession," and she ended up fabricating it recklessly, easily passing the exam. Roast that the curriculum content is more theoretical than practical is not only the common view of students in primary and high schools that career planning is "water". As early as 2021, the magazine 'Half Moon Talk' also published a review titled 'Employment guidance courses are becoming' water courses', are classes more useful than internships? '. Since it is a well-known "water course", why do universities offer this course? The Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned that in 2007, the Ministry of Education issued relevant notices such as the "Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Effectively Doing a Good Job in the Employment of Graduates from Ordinary Higher Education Institutions in 2007", which clearly stated that starting from 2008, career development and employment guidance courses should be included in the public curriculum teaching plan, running through the entire training process of students from enrollment to graduation. At the same time, the notice requires universities to offer courses in the form of compulsory and elective courses, and transition to compulsory courses after 3-5 years. After the promulgation of this explicit regulation, many universities began to plan and establish career planning courses in various forms. Some schools offer this in the form of elective courses
