  5. Search implementation in SDSMU-Companion

    The project has transitioned its search engine from slimsearch to pagefind to resolve persistent stability and bug issues. Additionally, the Minxing Building map was redesigned using SVG embedded text to enable searching for specific room numbers.
  6. Clinical Medicine Three-Stage Comprehensive Examination Overview

    Clinical Medicine students must pass three comprehensive examinations to graduate. Failure to pass the final comprehensive score results in inability to graduate. Specifically, passing the Second Stage exam is a prerequisite for entering hospital internships.
  7. Understand the difference between the First Clinical Medical School and the Clinical Medical School

    The 'First Clinical Medical School' (第一临床医学院) is a joint enrollment program between the university and the First Affiliated Hospital (Weifang People's Hospital). Students in this program have their internships and clinical observations specifically directed to that hospital. New students are randomly assigned to either the Clinical Medical School or the First Clinical Medical School. There are no differences between the two in terms of teaching or examinations.
  8. Guidelines for students seeking part-time employment

    General recommendations for students looking for side work:

    • Timing: Sophomore year (Year 2) is recommended as academic knowledge is fresh and schedules are typically more flexible.
    • Essential Soft Skills: Patience (critical), physical stamina, attention to detail, a resilient mindset (to handle vague or difficult client requests), and strong communication skills (unless working on backend tasks).
    • Recommended Certifications: Teacher Certification, Putonghua Proficiency Test, CET-4/6, National Computer Rank Examination (Office/WPS, Python), and Health Certificates (required for catering/food service).
    • Required Documentation: Be prepared to provide ID cards and Student IDs. Bank account numbers may be requested but should never be surrendered, nor should verification codes be shared.
    • Due Diligence: Before accepting a job, research the employer on platforms like Xiaohongshu or ask senior students about potential wage theft, unreasonable fees, or exploitation.
  9. Laptop purchasing scoring guide for students

    Use this scoring system to determine the type of laptop needed based on usage requirements. Calculate the total score from the requirements (e.g., video editing needs) to find the recommended category:

    • 0 points: No computer purchase needed.
    • 1–4 points: Refer to non-gaming laptops.
    • 5–7 points: Refer to gaming laptops (all-around laptops are a viable lower-end alternative).
    • 8+ points: Refer to gaming laptops.

    Specific scoring for video editing:

    • 0 points: No requirement.
    • 2 points: Video length under 10 minutes, resolution up to 1080P.
    • 4 points: Video length over 20 minutes.
  10. Use public hair dryers

    Public hair dryers are located next to the public bathrooms on each floor and require QR code scanning for rental. If the QR code is damaged, try multiple times or save the URL in a browser/WeChat for future use. The rental is successful when the phone emits a 'beep-beep' sound; point the phone speaker toward the rental device to activate.
  11. Meet requirements for degree certification and graduation

    A student will be unable to obtain a degree certificate if any of the following occur:

    1. Failure to earn the required credits for each category.
    2. Average GPA < 2.0.
    3. Receiving a disciplinary action of 'demerit' (记过) or higher.
    4. Failing the final score of the 'Three-Stage' comprehensive examination (specifically for clinical medicine).
  12. Access internal university resources from off-campus via CAS

    The CAS Authentication System (Smart Campus System) allows students to access internal network resources (such as the Educational Administration System for grades and schedules, CNKI, and virtual simulation centers) when off-campus.

    Steps to access the Educational Administration System (教务系统) from off-campus:

    1. Visit the official portal: https://webvpn.sdsmu.edu.cn
    2. Click 'Unified Identity Authentication Login' (统一身份认证登录) and log in using student ID + password, mobile verification, or QR code. (Initial password is typically sdsmu@last6digitsOfIDCard).
    3. Navigate to the Application Center (应用中心) $\rightarrow$ select 'Educational Administration System — Non-Single Sign-On' (教务系统——非单点登录).
    4. Log in using the specific Educational Administration System account and password.

    Note: When off-campus, the standard 'Educational Administration System' link will not work; you must use the 'Non-Single Sign-On' (非单点) option.
