The forms of classroom teaching in Australia are very different from those in domestic universities, and the forms of classroom teaching are more diverse, including experimental courses, professional counseling courses and knowledge teaching courses. Australian students must be familiar with the course process and related matters during the course. Come and have a look with me.

1, class form

Laboratory courses (laboratory):

It's an experimental class. This kind is similar to that in China. Is to teach clinical skills and practice them on dummies or classmates.

The above are the main forms of classes in Australia, which are quite different from those in domestic universities. Nobody cares about you, you have to solve everything yourself. Learning more and learning less are all your own. You should have your own questions to ask, and you should have your own learning ability and problem-solving ability. This is what domestic universities lack most.

Teaching (lecture):

Teaching a large class similar to a domestic university, the number of students is usually above 100. Because there are many students, the teacher doesn't call the roll in class. It's entirely his own initiative. The teacher who teaches is usually the tutor of the subject, mainly imparting new knowledge, and the content taught is mostly theoretical or abstract, similar to the outline. Although the duration of a lecture is generally only 1 hour, the content of the textbook taught by the teacher can be more than 40, 50 or even 100 pages, so you must preview it in advance before attending the lecture. You don't need to take notes when you attend class. The teacher will put all the notes online and need to download and print them and bring them to class.

Tutorial (tutorial):

The teaching of each course has a corresponding tutorial, which is equivalent to small class teaching. The number of students is generally controlled within 30 (mostly between 15-20), and counselors are usually tutors or other teachers of this major, or they may be senior students. Tutorial's task is mainly to answer questions for students. According to the purpose of the subject, the forms of counseling are different. Science and engineering are mainly experimental courses, while business is mainly homework.

2, after-school communication

In Australia, classroom questions and answers are mainly held in cram schools. Of course, I often see lecturers surrounded by students asking questions after class. In addition, don't ignore the importance of after-school communication. In Australia, after-class communication is an important way to answer questions in class. Communication after class? It's usually done online.

In Australian university classes, lecturers encourage students to ask questions themselves, and they will be happy to discuss with you. For questions in class or problems encountered in the process of completing homework, take the time to ask the teacher actively and try to solve them in class. Lecturers and tutors who guide students' learning are the first people to help students solve their learning problems.

In addition, due to the limited communication time with teachers in class, teachers usually announce a consultation meeting after class to answer questions for students. You don't have to make an appointment in advance to consult the teacher within the specified time of the consultation meeting, but if there are many questions that will take a long time, it is best to make an appointment in advance. If you tell the tutor what the question is at the same time, the tutor will answer it more conveniently and pertinently.

In addition, students can also make an appointment with the tutor by email or telephone to get more face-to-face guidance.

3. Network communication

In Australia, we should make good use of online learning. Many universities take computer network as a minor course? Part is also an online platform for teachers to transmit information to students. For example, class notes, homework deadlines, bibliography, and teachers' new announcements will be published in the school system. So you must always check whether the information in the school system is updated, and it is best to check it every time you use the computer.

4. Other classroom-related matters

Roll call:

Because of the rigid regulations of the Australian Immigration Bureau, the attendance rate of international students must reach 80% of the total class hours. If the attendance rate is insufficient, the visa may be cancelled. Attendance statistics are mainly conducted during remedial classes, and many schools will call the roll a few minutes before class. According to the teaching time of each semester 13 weeks, three absences from a course will be counted as unqualified attendance.

Homework:

The homework usually assigned is included in the final grade of this course in proportion, and there are many forms of homework. Generally speaking, after attending a lecture, the lecturer may arrange some homework or Wang Xiaokun/report, and give students some time to finish them. If you can't submit all kinds of homework before the deadline, the students' grades will be deducted according to the required percentage.

Time:

The school system will list the time periods that can be selected for this course. For example, the tutorial of the course will have a time period of 3:00-5:00 pm and a time period of 7:00-900 pm. If you don't know the course arrangement, class time or place, you can log on to the campus system of the school to inquire.

Communication:

Q&A is mainly conducted in the small class of tutorial class, and of course, it is often seen that the speaker of the lecture is surrounded by students asking questions after class. In addition, don't ignore the importance of after-school communication. In Australia, after-class communication is a way of communication that pays equal attention to answering questions in class. After-school communication is generally conducted online.
