1, foreign postgraduate courses are intensive. Take at least 12 courses every year. In the American academic system, public universities generally have three semesters a year, each lasting three months. So you have to take at least four courses a semester to graduate, which means you have to take three mid-term exams and three final exams a year.

2. There is a large amount of reading materials for graduate study abroad, and teachers will test our reading of the materials irregularly in class. If there is no reading material at all, you will fail the exam at all.

The process of quantitative analysis is very similar to that of mathematics. Different teachers have different styles. Some teachers write blackboard books like domestic math teachers, which is very effective. Some teachers use PPT to teach, and feel that the effect is almost poor, but they all pay great attention to the understanding of concepts.

3. Teaching assistants are very common in foreign public universities. Teaching assistants are selected from students or doctoral students with excellent academic performance in the previous year. Students in teaching assistant positions can not only earn wages, but also accumulate course experience, which is also very important to write on their resumes.

In addition, the college will invite people with good grades in senior grades to set up special cram schools, and give special cram schools to those with poor grades, and the college will pay these people.

4. Postgraduate education abroad, especially in the United States, has obvious characteristics of vocational education. The forms of course assignments are very diverse, and the content is also very contemporary. What I usually read in class is the review articles in the last month or two or the books in recent years.

5. The performance appraisal is very strict. Generally speaking, those with scores above a standard deviation can get A+ or A, those with scores below a standard deviation can get B+ or B, and those with scores below a standard deviation can get B- or C. American graduate students can't have C. If C and GPA are lower than 3, they will be dismissed from graduate schools.

6. The biggest feeling of studying abroad is that I miss everything in China and am very homesick. In fact, no matter where we go to graduate school, we all pursue higher-level knowledge and improve ourselves, but remember not to forget our roots and that we are from China.
