【正确答案】 Innovation Consciousness of Ph. D. Students in China
China is marching toward an innovative country. Innovation is, so to speak, China's national spirit. Without innovation, China would have no further development. In other words, innovation can promote China's social progress and increase its productivity. Its social progress and increase in productivity depend to a large extent on scientific innovation of its Ph.D. candidates. Ph.D. candidates' innovation consciousness plays an important role in doing their research work well.
There is no gainsaying the fact that the overwhelming majority of Ph.D. candidates with innovation consciousness in China have put forward a lot of innovative viewpoints or developed plenty of innovative products, which are undoubtedly conducive to the construction of our socialist modernization. But frankly speaking, some Ph. D. candidates lack innovation consciousness. They tend to do what they are told to do by their Ph. D. supervisors. They respect their supervisors so much so that they do not dare to enjoy too much academic freedom, to say nothing of putting forward viewpoints quite different from their supervisors' even if theirs are reasonable. Otherwise, they may offend their supervisors and may not be allowed to earn their doctor's degrees. Such a phenomenon is undoubtedly bad for the cultivation of innovation consciousness of Ph. D. candidates in China.
Here I'd like to make some suggestions on how to enhance innovation consciousness of Ph. D. candidates in China. In the first place, we should create excellent academic atmosphere for Ph. D. candidates. We should encourage those with academic courage to propose creative scientific ideas conflicting with or even entirely contrary to old-fashioned ones. In the second place, we should award prizes to Ph.D. candidates who have created innovative products and their supervisors. Last but not least, we should not let those who have no creative ideas in their dissertations get their doctor's degrees.
