American education system The basic education level of primary and secondary schools in the United States is far less than that of our country, but why can so many Nobel Prize winners be produced? Experts studying abroad tell us that the answer is: American university education attaches great importance to the cultivation of individual ability and is good at mobilizing the potential of individual learning and research, which is undoubtedly very conducive to the development and emergence of talents.

First of all, American universities have their own characteristics when enrolling undergraduates. Students are often admitted to a university rather than a major in a university. What major students study is not decided before entering the school, but let you choose after studying in this school for one year. This choice depends entirely on students' personal specialties, interests, hobbies and future career needs, and it is a good way. Moreover, American college students have no fixed classes after entering school. Because students choose their own majors, courses and teachers according to the prescribed disciplines and credits, classes are mobile. The combination of students in a class varies from course to course. There are often freshmen and seniors in a class, and the composition of each teaching class is different. Some people call this combination that students often change models while teachers don't. Compared with the class system of China University, which is unchanged from freshman to senior, this class is difficult to cultivate deep feelings between students because of the unstable personnel and relatively stable contact. On the other hand, it also meets the personalized requirements of American society, and students are fully responsible for their own learning behavior, which is conducive to cultivating students' independent spirit and ability. Although there are some shortcomings in this kind of autonomous learning, it gives students a space for free development, which is conducive to the free development of individuals for college students with self-control ability.

The auxiliary teaching activities in American universities are rich and colorful, and Jackie Chan is a complete set. Various types of discussion classes organized by the school can arouse students' enthusiasm for participation and inspire them to think independently, study deeply and learn from each other. All kinds of student club activities are lively and stimulate the development of personal interests. There are many kinds of academic lectures, most of which are reports by American academic celebrities, which broaden students' horizons. Therefore, compared with universities in China, the pressure on American universities is much greater. First, there is much homework. The teacher gives a good lecture. After class, many students are allowed to read, think, write articles and finish all kinds of homework. Moreover, teachers should be an important part of evaluating students' total scores every semester, and students dare not neglect them at all. Second, there are many exams. There are exams in almost every subject every week. If you don't pay attention to them, you will get into trouble, which will affect the overall score. Another point is that American universities attach great importance to students' feedback when evaluating teachers' level or performance. At the end of each semester, students should grade their teachers. If most students are dissatisfied with the teacher, it will directly lead to the teacher being laid off. So teaching in American universities is a sense of crisis. How to teach well and how to strictly demand and satisfy students is really a science.
