Correspondence education is a kind of distance education activity by means of communication. Students are mainly taught by correspondence, supplemented by face-to-face instruction. Teaching links include self-taught textbooks, face-to-face tutoring, exchange of questions and answers, concentrated experiments, internships, evaluation assignments, stage tests, final exams or exams, graduation design or writing papers.
The organizers are correspondence schools, full-time schools or approved institutions, organizations and other institutions. The State Council 1980 approved "Opinions of the Ministry of Education on Vigorously Developing Correspondence Education and Evening University in Ordinary Colleges and Universities" stipulates that students who have completed the prescribed courses and passed the examination will be awarded graduation certificates by the host schools, and their academic qualifications will be recognized by the state; After completing all subjects and passing the exam, a certificate of academic achievement will be issued.
Teaching characteristics
1. Students learn by themselves under the written guidance of teachers, make full use of their spare time, and follow the correspondence teaching plan and syllabus.
2. The learning form is flexible, which not only adapts to the learning of employees in many mobile departments such as railways, highways, geology and water conservancy, but also adapts to the learning of employees with special working conditions and housework.
3. The specialty setting is highly targeted and practical, and students do not study full-time and get quick results.
With less money, we can make full use of existing teachers and various teaching facilities without building new school buildings.
