Abstract: Courses for ideological and political education should well respond to the question about ‘how to cultivate people' in the reformation of higher education.The cultivation of talents is an essential social function undertaken by higher education. The outstanding contradiction which should be cracked in the reform of talents cultivation paradigm is the problem of the ability cultivation of students. During the reform, we should strive to improve the quality of the higher education, deepen the professional supply-side reform, construct the course system centred on the practical capacity, integrate the curricula ideological into professional curriculum system, adhere to problem-oriented ability cultivation, stress the reformation of the education methods, integrate the “Internet Plus” technology into the classroom teaching, try to merge and attach equal stress to the two and explore the new paradigm of undergraduate education.

Key words: Courses for ideological and political education, Online education, Practical teaching
