What's the difference between higher education in China and other countries?
This topic is too big.

The first is the above form:

China University also has the concept of class, which is divided into colleges, and students have departments, majors and classes. In my school at that time, each class had a head teacher and two class assistants (a junior and a senior). Basically, class is a collective concept. For example, if you take part in a sports meeting or have any activities in the department, everyone will go out in class.

American universities have no concept of class, including majors, departments and colleges, but unlike China, there will be no friendship competition between departments. For example, in China, the XX Department and the Best Student Union Organization Award may be awarded, but there is no such concept in the United States. Majors, departments and colleges are only academic divisions, not a group that can make you feel a sense of belonging.

Followed by professional aspects:

Choosing a major in China is a choice that you have to make when volunteering to fill in the report after the college entrance examination. Some universities should be able to change majors after admission, but it should be more difficult to change majors (I have a friend who has experience in changing majors in domestic universities, and he succeeded in changing majors by connections. I don't know whether it is a special case or a general case).

In foreign countries, many students will apply for GeneralStudy when applying, and then decide their major after one year in college. After you decide your major, you should apply to the department to which the major belongs.

Furthermore, the ranking problem: (the ranking of students' grades is not the ranking of schools, and the ranking of foreign schools is more clear than that of domestic schools)

I feel that domestic universities still have the concept of ranking, while foreign universities have no concept of ranking at all.

Final course grade

My personal feeling is that most courses in domestic universities hope that the final exam result is the final course total score. However, different courses in foreign universities have different grading methods. For example, a class needs to complete three projects, three exams and three papers. The final grade of this course consists of the topic 10% and the exam 1&; 220% exam 325%, thesis1&; 25%, paper 3 10%, attendance rate 5%. In addition, there are opportunities for extra credits.

Students in American universities are more free to attend classes. Unless individual teachers have special requirements, students can take notes with Ipad and laptop. As long as you are comfortable, you can eat and sit. You can ask the teacher questions and express your opinions at any time. In most classes, new homework should be handed in at least once a week, and there must be some reading before each class. Junior high school education in the United States is very relaxed, and universities are very nervous and stressful (because going to college means adulthood).

If it is a domestic university, it will not be evaluated.
