2018年04月11日上午，加拿大皇家科學院Keith W Hipel教授應邀在将軍路校區ag真人百家家乐平台1号樓403會議室做題為“How to Conduct Original Research in Graduate Studies”的學術報告。會議由ag真人百家家乐平台院長姜斌教授主持，ag真人百家家乐平台部分師生參加了報告會。
Hipel教授的報告主要從論文選題、論文撰寫、審稿回複等方面給出了中肯的指導。
首先，Hipel教授在開場先進行了有獎問答環節，問題設置為曆史上重要的科學革新以及相應的科學家的相關知識，第一個答對問題者會得到Hipel教授的小禮物，此環節不僅起到了暖場作用也讓大家對創新有了更深刻的認識。而後，Hipel教授就論文撰寫進行了詳細講解，從内容、邏輯、語言各個角度對論文的所有部分，包括論文選題、摘要、引言、主要内容、結論和參考文獻進行剖析。這些講解對學術論文寫作有很大的指導意義，讓在座師生受益匪淺。
随後，Hipel教授又着重為我們講解了論文審稿回複方面所要注意的一些問題，關于這個方面在座師生還提出了自己所遇到的這方面的難題，比如：審稿人并不了解作者所研究的方向，給出了一些不合理的意見時該如何處理，Hipel教授對此耐心給出了獨到的見解。Hipel教授的講座幽默風趣，用豐富的案例開闊了師生們的視野，擴展了大家的思路。
最後，Hipel教授與到場的師生進行了交流互動，耐心解答了師生們所提出的學術問題并與到會師生代表合影。
