Compared with middle school learning, there are many differences between college learning and middle school learning, the main difference is that the learning content and learning methods have changed greatly.
Change one: more content.
In middle school, we usually only study about ten courses, and for two years, we focused on the college entrance examination subjects. The teacher mainly teaches general basic knowledge. However, there are more than 40 courses that need to be studied in four years. The courses studied each semester are different, with many contents, and the learning tasks are much heavier than those in middle schools. Freshmen and sophomores mainly study public courses and basic courses, juniors mainly study professional basic courses and some professional courses and elective courses, and seniors mainly study professional courses, internships, graduation design and graduation thesis. Arrange two or three classes at a time for each class.
Change 2: more self-study
In middle school, teachers often take up self-study classes, which makes students very upset. This situation hardly exists in universities. Because of the relative reduction of classroom teaching, the time for self-study in universities has greatly increased, and sometimes there is no class all day. There are basically 22 classes in a freshman week, depending on the school. At the same time, universities provide students with a very good learning environment. The university has a well-collected library, a well-equipped laboratory and various extracurricular scientific research activities. If there are students who want to take the postgraduate entrance examination or take the civil service examination, they should pay attention and sit in the study room as soon as possible! It's a hot potato, but it won't be eaten if it's late.
Change 3: The teacher cares less.
In terms of learning methods, in middle school, you only need to follow the teacher, and all you have to do is follow the teacher's instructions. Teachers teach students by hand, while university teachers advocate students to learn independently and arrange their extracurricular time independently, and gradually change from "asking me to learn" to "I want to learn", instead of using the tactics of asking questions and memorizing learning methods. Therefore, if a university wants to learn well, it mainly depends on your self-discipline and self-study ability.
Change 4: the lecture speed is fast.
First, university teachers introduce many ideas and explain few details. Mainly teaching key and difficult contents, many teachers use projectors and multimedia to teach, which realizes the diversification of teaching methods and the rapid progress of teaching. A class may have to teach one chapter or several chapters. Second, there are more abstract theories and less intuitive content. Third, there are more discussions in class and fewer answers after class. Fourth, there are more reference books and less extracurricular exercises. Some teachers talk about two or three chapters in a class, and the students who attend the class don't even have time to turn over the books. If you want to keep up with the teacher's ideas, you must work harder before class. Don't think that college is really 60 minutes long live. You know, scholarships are linked to grades. It is better to eat more snacks at school.
Change 5: There is no classroom.
In middle school, we have fixed classrooms, fixed seats and fixed classmates, but in college, each class has no fixed classroom for us. Sometimes, the classes of 1 2 may be studied in one classroom in this building, but there will be three or four classes in another building, and students of different majors may attend classes with them, so you have to find your own classroom when you study. Of course, if the school arranges morning and evening self-study for freshmen and sophomores, there will also be classrooms.
Step 2 live
Compared with middle school life, there are also many differences, the most important of which is that life is enriched and horizons are broadened. I will appreciate it myself.
Change 1: There are fewer roommates.
In middle school, most of them are day students, and each dormitory is occupied by more than 4 people. Now, all college students live on campus. Many universities adopt the apartment system, with four people in one room. Above is the bed, below is the wardrobe and computer desk. Remember: you must get on well with your roommates, because you are the people who will get along for four years!
Change 2: the schedule has changed.
In middle school, the time for self-study in the morning and evening is fixed, and the time for turning off the lights in the dormitory is also fixed. So the schedule is relatively fixed. During college, there are relatively few schools that stipulate morning and evening time. Universities rarely turn off the lights regularly, and each dormitory will send water and electricity every month, and the excess will be paid by itself.
Change 3: There are many extracurricular activities.
In middle school, there is very little extracurricular time, and most of them are made up, so there are relatively few extracurricular activities. When I entered the university, the class hours were reduced, there were no classes on weekends, and the extracurricular time suddenly increased. There will be a welcome party after the military training, and there will be a week or so to recruit new members. Foreign language clubs usually watch English movies on weekend nights. If you like, you can join more clubs and even form your own club. Of course, you can also try to work.
Change 4: More people fall in love.
In middle school, under the pressure of college entrance examination, few people can spare so much energy to do things unrelated to study. Yeah, it's also sneaking around. When you enter the university, you will find that the number of people in love has increased a lot.
There is indeed a big difference between a university and a high school, but I still hope that the prospective university will take good care of itself, concentrate on its studies and participate in social practice more. Don't waste four good years.
