2. To actively participate in the overseas classroom teaching of the course, there will be other ways besides teachers' lectures, such as seminars. Students must first read books or do research on materials, and then discuss with teachers in class. Such activities must be fully prepared and actively participated, which can not only improve their own level, but also spark a lot of thoughts in generate in this way, which is also the weak link for international students in China.
3. Make full use of the teaching resources of the course. Students can ask questions at any time in class, but they need to reach out and get the teacher's permission. If you have any questions about your homework, you must answer them during the "office hours" announced by the teacher. If there are any problems in the course study, the college is equipped with a "studentlearningcenter" to help diagnose and solve the problems. If students with good economic development conditions can afford it, please hire a "tutor" from the heart and pay by the hour.
4. Mastering the course selection resources of universities Most foreign university teachers use corresponding educational apps to communicate with students, which may be "blackboards" and "canvases". Through this software system, teachers can publish homework, progress, test scores (students can only see their own) and even conduct training. Students can also communicate with teachers through this platform, so be sure to know the learning software used by school teachers before entering the school, and then participate in the training of this mobile phone software at school (already included in the training fee).
5. Pay attention to the relationship with the course assistant. Overseas courses are generally equipped with student assistants. However, to become a student assistant, in fact, most of them have to go through five hurdles and cut six generals before they can finally take up their posts. So you can communicate with the teaching assistant in time if you have any questions about the course. An international student from China finally hired a student assistant as his tutor, and his grades improved rapidly.
6. You must not cheat in foreign universities. Most foreign universities are equipped with honor codes. When students enter the school, they should sign a contract with the school and abide by this code. In other words, they will "help others in homework, reports and exams and refuse to accept all unauthorized help". Teachers often don't supervise examiners during exams. However, during the semester, if students are found to have violated the honor code, they will be punished according to the rules, ranging from detention for observation and punishment to serious expulsion, and may continue to cause disputes.
7. Pay attention to the experimental class. Many science and engineering courses are also equipped with experimental operations. Although there are two independent courses, they must be selected and abandoned at the same time.
8. Safety is alwaysNo. 1. There are many safety regulations in foreign experimental classes, such as wearing safety glasses, prohibiting wearing shorts and sandals, tying long hair, checking the recycling needles into specific containers, and special solutions for broken glass containers.
9. Team work is very important. Many foreign experimental operations need two or more people to classify, and future reports are all about it, so teamwork is very important. Some students have met some international students from China who had to quit the working group because of falling out with their research partners, and have also dealt with those international students who think that they don't need their partners to do experiments for extra money. Remember that foreign university standards are for compliance, not for twists and turns.
10, you should have a good notebook computer, and try to buy it in the bookstore on campus for four years. At the same time, according to the maintenance plan, if the computer goes wrong, you can repair it for free on campus, and sometimes you can give away the computer application for free under the condition of maintenance.
1 1. Pay attention to the relationship with students of different races, colors and religious beliefs. Australian campus is a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural melting pot. Try not to say anything ambiguous, but don't make irresponsible remarks in Chinese. Because there are many people who know Chinese, there is zero tolerance for the language of racial issues on campus.
12, the focus of foreign university courses is not "class", but "learning". Professors will get the syllabus in class, and the progress will be very fast. At the same time, a lot of reading will be arranged after class, and then I will study what I should master myself. No one cares whether you study or not, and no one chases you for your homework. The spirit of self-discipline and active learning is very important.
13, the syllabus is the most important document of a course. In every semester 1 class, apart from teachers and students getting to know each other, the rest of the time is a scientific research to understand the curriculum outline prepared by teachers. It includes the effect of this course, the textbooks and reference books used, the specific content of the course, the progress plan, the operation requirements and delivery time, the examination date, the examination result structure, the evaluation criteria, and the current policies of the course (including attendance management and late delivery of the course, etc.). ) and current academic policies (policies to solve cheating and plagiarism, etc. The syllabus also needs to include the telephone numbers of teachers and teaching assistants and the time and place to answer questions.
14, computer ability is very important. Many overseas assignments need to be completed by using mobile phone software such as word, excel, powerpoint and $ number. So it takes time and energy to master the use of this mobile phone software. Application software must be genuine overseas, and mobile phone software such as Microsoft Office "Academic Research Edition" can generally be bought in the school library (only need to be assembled once).
15. Understand the course grading method. In addition to the traditional examination results, foreign courses often use scoring rules and systems such as total weight calculation homework, quizzes and tests, and are committed to trading without a hammer. At the end of the term, many university teachers will remove a lower score when weighing the average score, but if they don't hand in their homework, they won't remove the zero score, so the mentality is very important.
