Mr. Chen Chong from the School of International Relations, Tsinghua University shared his views on "Teaching Quantitative Methods to Liberal Arts Students". Firstly, Mr. Chen introduced the orientation of the quantitative methods course. He first explained the importance and practicality of quantitative methods in terms of internship, research and study abroad.

Next, Mr. Chen shared the teaching of quantitative methods lessons from the perspective of this research interchange. In specific teaching, Mr. Chen's quantitative methods course system encourages outstanding undergraduate students to take a graduate methods course, while requiring graduate students to take an undergraduate equivalent methods course first.

Mr Qi Haotian from the School of International Relations, Peking University, shared his experience of teaching the subject of international relations. Firstly, Mr. Qi shared the key points and difficulties he encountered in the teaching process from the perspectives of tradition and innovation, theory and history, theory and practice, and the integration of multiple approaches.

Finally, Mr. Qi introduced multimedia teaching, English immersion classroom and simulation exercises, hoping to use these methods to enrich the classroom format and cultivate students' motivation.

Mr. Wang Yaqi from the Zhou Enlai School of Government and Management, Nankai University, shared his undergraduate teaching experience. Firstly, in terms of teaching and learning, Mr. Wang believes that it is important to closely integrate theory and reality, and to focus on grasping students' needs in the process of imparting knowledge to them. Secondly, in terms of knowledge and philosophy, Mr. Wang pointed out that students should be cultivated with a sense of mission in the education process, so that they can foresee China and then serve China better.

Mr. Chen Yiyi from the School of Politics and International Relations of Lanzhou University shared his experience in the process of transforming from a PhD student to a university staff. Mr. Chen shared his experience in teaching from three aspects: closely integrating cases around him, controlling the quality and quantity of lessons and developing students' thinking skills. Afterwards, Mr. Chen also gave an outlook on how to balance the ratio of Chinese to English teaching in the future and how to do a good job in online teaching in the context of the COVID-19.

After the four guests had finished their sharing, they had in-depth discussions with the teachers and students in the audience on issues such as mock exercises, teaching in English, guiding students' research, and combining classroom content with current affairs and politics.
