Recently, from many channels, Xue Zhaofeng has gone from the National Development Institute of Peking University and is currently in the process of handling relevant procedures. Xue Zhaofeng himself also confirmed to the economist circle to leave Beijing University.
By the time of Beijing in March 12th, the number of subscriptions to this online course had exceeded 250 thousand. According to the subscription fee of 199 yuan per year, Professor Xue's "turnover" on this platform has reached 50 million yuan.
As a real economist, it makes people realize the power of paying for knowledge. But as the exposure and sale speed up, Xue Zhaofeng has been questioned and bigger and bigger.
The most fatal part is at the end of 2017. Xue Zhaofeng, a colleague of Peking University, Professor Tang Fangfang of the Peking University, publicly questioned the academic level of Xue Zhaofeng, and pointed out that Xue Zhaofeng is not a professor of Peking University. Tang Fangfang commented that "economics is not a story," the speech is direct and ironic.
Tang Fangfang's most controversial concern is Professor Xue Zhaofeng's status as a professor at Peking University. He is not a professor of Peking University. But he sells it on the teaching platform with Peking University economics course. It is obviously used to endorse the brand of Peking University, which is a misleading user. Then Xue Zhaofeng was not a professor of Peking University, a professor of Peking University.
According to the economist circle, Xue Zhaofeng belongs to the "Professor of Hospital of the National Development Institute of Peking University", not a formal appointment professor of Peking University. Xue Zhaofeng joined Peking University in Zhou Qiren as Dean of the Institute for the introduction, belong to the park (China Economic Research Center, National Development Research Institute of Peking University (CCER) for appointment, hospital appointment), when the introduction of Xue Zhaofeng Park, Professor Wang Dingding also gave full support.
According to official information, Xue Zhaofeng is the joint director of the center for the research of law and economics at the Peking University. The center of the law and economics Peking University Peking University School of law, founded the National Development Research Institute of Peking University, joined by two joint venture non-profit academic organization, it is understood that funding for the national development institute sponsors were raised, the securities market research and Design Center China (liaison).
At a conference, Xue Zhaofeng mentioned his views on how to pass on the knowledge of economics.
We Chinese half of the students are learning the arts, liberal arts school there is a part of business, many people have studied economics, economics classroom blackboard teaching is more - curve, formula, equation, mathematical model, solution, it is the abstract concept of Gini coefficient, the utility function is a pile of statistics the thought of history data, and so on facts. Speaking of economics, what you think about is such a dull thing.
In fact, I say (Economics) is another matter altogether. We don't talk about things, even if it is true or false, it doesn't matter. In our classroom, it's very important to talk about causality. What we are talking about is not a concept. It's a scene of use. We can learn how to apply knowledge in the scene. Only when you learn to use it, can you understand it. Only by understanding you can progress.
