Teachers' Status and Teaching Construction
First, the situation of teachers.
As of 20 18, 1 1, the University of Hong Kong has 65,438 regular professors and 659 international professors (internationalization percentage is 60.6%)? , a total of 12 academicians of China Academy of Sciences and 4 academicians of China Academy of Engineering were elected.
Second, teaching construction.
HKU mainly teaches in small classes, with a small number of students and detailed classroom contents, and attaches great importance to teacher-student interaction. Thanks to the size of the class, teachers always ask questions to students in class, and they encourage students to ask questions very much.
At the same time, teamwork has become an important part of daily study. In the courses of the University of Hong Kong, a large proportion of students need teamwork, which is very effective for improving communication and cooperation ability. HKU has no compulsory measures to require students to attend classes, and the best way to ensure attendance is to improve the quality of their own courses.
Naturally attract students to class. HKU adopts a step-by-step teaching mode to downplay the importance of the final exam. In order to evaluate a student's level more reasonably, teachers usually leave some targeted homework to examine the progress of students following the course. This step-by-step teaching method can not only ensure the normal learning quality of students, but also give them enough free time.
