President LI Yuxia pointed out that undergraduate education and teaching audit assessment was an enormous and systematic project with tight schedule and arduous tasks. It was vital to establish the idea of the whole school playing the same chess, and each department should closely cooperate to jointly promote the assessment. We should list problems, clarify the responsible unit and completion time, and rectify them as soon as possible. We must establish a specialized panel to refine the self-assessment report further. We ought to strengthen the teaching and learning style, manage the classroom well, achieve the integration of teaching and management, and effectively audit and evaluate all aspects.
