The system of higher education in the US democracy and the most advanced in the world. I have 4 technical sessions continuously from 11 am to 5 pm, but only stay 15 minutes to get from the lecture hall to another, eating fast food in the classroom is often the solution to the lunch I. Not only are allowed to eat, but I also can message by mobile or laptop use in class. No story professors call students answered as a punishment when students are thinking somewhere. Our students are debated openly without being judged attitude when he rejected the idea of her.
A very ordinary thing in the US is happy to thank professor when students pointed out inaccuracies in the lectures. I even once even earn points for pointing out the error like that. So understand why American students are very confident style, because they get real encouragement from the teachers every speech, even asking professors to quote just said. In addition to formal classes, teachers often spend about 2 to 4 hours per week so that students can easily exchange or to answer questions in their own office. Students can also learn through each course tutor. These are good students of pre-school classes and pay rent of about $ 9 / hour, 10 hours a week.
Another thing to do for many students it's no surprise the distinction of age in the classroom. I have his classmates in English during the first 28 years and the third year classmates comparable in age probably doubled my lot. Even high school students in the United States did not follow the standard greeting when the teacher stood up walked in and out of class. Students receive test results privately absolute. Without each other, the friend asked no one knows the outcome of one. The school is for learning, not because of his fear of being evaluated friends. In the US, parents only have the right to know the location of their children if they are paying for their child's school.
The curriculum at American universities more flexibility in us. Students selected subjects, choosing teachers, and choose according to their own school. I have a girlfriend home from school in an hour's drive up the school put all three classes on the first day of week. I have been surprised when the teacher asked if those who go to work in the classroom more than 200 students the first year, there were 3/4 of my class raised their hands. Even I had her 5 subjects in school you just left for work a 32 hour period a week.
Although students must register in majors since school, but students can change the first two years of study that hardly affect the time of graduation. Literature students select industry can still switch to sectors such audit. In the first 2 years, most of the programs are the same industry. All students regardless of major, whether audit or Literature, must complete a basic program for two years with many subjects in many fields, from the natural sciences (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology ), social sciences (History, Sociology, Politics), English (writing in the research study), to the class like music or theater. Of course, students are entitled to choose their favorite subjects among disciplines group. Undergraduate program is designed for 4 years, but because of coursework, so students can learn many of the two main classes can also learn all three summer to shorten the learning time.
Regarding how to teach in American universities, never had he read the game copying status. Teachers lecture or play a slideshow and talk about all these issues. Things to explain more new teachers on the board. Students are able to review the website of teachers to support presentation of self-study process. Timetables are discovered early period, and lectures so dense comply from the first week to the last week. And especially the professor very punctual, they are hardly in the class before school, hard to find lessons that teachers to class late, even for a minute.
Another difference is how to assess the students. In the United States in a period, a normal school students 5 goal. Each subject has between 3 and 6 tests, the percentage points are distributed. States with 5 classes last week I always have at least one such test, with up to 4 weeks of tests, the article must be submitted, and presentations in class. In Vietnam, if there is no mid-term test, only a test only at maturity. Thus a student in America must learn continuously, unlike in Vietnam, schedule facilitates students can have free access beginning of the period before the end of semester rush in a few days for the final exam period and also finished. And of course, knowledge is built from basic to post articles as rains improve soil permeability, students will understand the problem with certainty.
Moreover, in addition to the test, I also have to do with subjects quiz online 15 minutes weekly. Or have classes every two weeks with a home network, I have to spend about 4 hours to complete 30-50 multiple-choice questions. Studies in the US, I have to write a lot. Sometimes I have to find a topic and find references in the library. There are nearly 30 pages long article. In particular, students may miss if plagiarism foul, albeit errors in a paper copy.
In the United States each university has the opportunity tens to hundreds of students each school not only has several student associations as in Vietnam. If students want to volunteer, you can participate in the volunteer program of many student clubs. There are specialized clubs (such as Finance, Audit, Economics, Chemistry, Information Technology), cultural (national student union and territories), or about entertainment (Photography photos, table Tennis, Chess). Besides there are many extracurricular classes (yoga, Latin dance).
Activities of the club in American universities are very active. Participation in extracurricular activities help me learn many things in the way of communication. Last year, I used to meet the mayor, I am studying in a talk by the student council of the school finance industry organization. New 2 weeks ago, I, along with members are to visit bank branches Frost National Bank in my downtown. During our visit, we were exchanges with the president, vice-president, as well as many heads of departments in banking such as investment, credit, and funds. Even after over two layers of security doors, the students we also see firsthand the bank's vault.
