1, no textbook.
In Australia, most majors have no syllabus and teaching materials, and each professor has his own academic opinions and teaching methods. Class depends on the teacher's PPT, and preview and review materials rely more on PPT. So newborn babies should not buy textbooks as soon as they arrive. Ask the teacher of this course if he needs teaching materials.
If you really need it, you can go to Taobao for second-hand teaching materials. After all, the new book is really expensive, costing more than 200 Australian dollars.
2, the usual homework is also a result.
In Australia, after all, the standard of performance evaluation is ordinary homework+final exam, not just the score of final exam. So every mission is a battle! Every assignment is an exam! Will affect your final grade! As for the proportion of the final exam, each course is different. Having said that, I have to say that even many majors don't have final exams at all, and their grades are determined by their usual grades, such as social work majors, such as education majors. This is not to say that such a major is not tiring, but it is often more tiring, because there are endless papers and homework for you to write. ......
3. Weak class concept
Many students said that after studying in Australia for two years, almost all the friends they met were in language classes. This is largely due to the weak concept of the Australian class. Even if we study majors, we won't have classes together. Because we choose different classes and have different class hours, there are fewer opportunities to meet each other. Australian teachers won't give you the answer directly. The teacher will keep asking questions and guide you to find the answer yourself!
