Abstract:

Classroom activity and effectivity is a common problem that high-level universities have not solved well for a long time. After ten years of teaching reform, Sichuan University has formed a prototype of the "Sichuan-University Mode" for talent training. Based on the macro perspective of the development and demands of the society, this essay reexamines the educational mission of the new age and analyzes the undergraduates and the inconsistency of their subjective and objective needs. Based on the results, the value of the academic achievement assessment reform of non-standard-answer exam to the talent cultivation is evaluated. We argued that the assessment reformation stems from the concept of non-standardization of education. It embodies the capacity and the tolerance of universities and teachers. It is an effective approach to nourish the students' mind and to optimize their thinking pattern. It is a combination of moral education, innovative education and professional education. It strongly supports the goal of first-class talent training and is easy to operate in class. Hopefully, non-standard-answer examination could become a teaching paradigm benefiting to the classroom.

Key words: Non-standard-answer, Academic achievement assessment, Classroom reform, Goal of talent training
