   From Jul.3rd to Aug.15th, 2017, undergraduate student Yijing Mei took part in a six-week summer program at Duke University in North Carolina, United States. The project is beneficial for students who want to go abroad for further development. It provides an early access to international teaching model that allows students to be trained in world-class institutions with students from all over the world.

   In this project, students can choose the courses they are interested in. The course starts with a wide range of courses, ranging from various specialized courses such as neurobiology and statistics to extracurricular courses such as yoga and photography. Course evaluation combines class performance with mid-course assessment, course final score and other sectors, a more comprehensive assessment of students from a number of aspects in a course performance. Mei follows Alfred from the prisoners' game to read interdisciplinary essays on political economy and philosophy such as civic election and market operations. At the same time, he discusses the current social hot spots such as sharing bicycles, and completes the mid and final essays based on what he has learned. Mei Yijing another class students to learn is statistics, and the domestic university set probability and mathematical statistics are more similar, but the difference is that Duke's statistics more emphasis on experiments to examine students' ability to solve practical problems and understand the basic principles, more emphasis on creative thinking to complete an experimental design.

   Through this project, students are deeply immersed in a brand-new environment, experienced the undergraduate teaching and learning atmosphere of the world's elite schools, increased their knowledge and formed profound friendship with their classmates from all over the world.
