Like domestic universities, after a semester of intense study, students should be evaluated. In American universities, different professors will choose different ways to evaluate their academic performance, including exams, homework exercises and written and oral reports. 1. In the mid-term and final exams, the score accounts for more than 60% of the whole semester. So during the exam, everyone stayed up all night and didn't dare to take it lightly. If you take an exam in class, you'd better ask all kinds of details, such as the form, content and scope of the exam. If the exam takes the form of application questions, if you are worried that there is not enough time, you can try to ask the professor to extend the answer time. In addition, ask if you can bring an English-Chinese dictionary or a Chinese-English dictionary to answer questions. The other exam (T ɑ kehomex ɑ m) is taken home, which is generally less stressful because there is no strict time limit and so on. As long as you play according to the class notes, specify the contents of the book, and pay attention to the coherence and modification of words and phrases, it should not be difficult to get satisfactory results. 2. Different departments have different ways of homework practice. Generally speaking, the assignments of mathematics department, science department and business department are more common in the way of calculation and application. As long as you listen carefully in class, consult textbooks and notes, or discuss with your classmates and seniors, most of these assignments are not difficult for you. The assignments of humanities and social sciences departments are usually to arrange reading and written reports, focusing on comments, analysis and expression. In addition, demonstration may be the most stressful form of work. Because you have to demonstrate in English in front of professors and other students in class, the drafting of the manuscript must be particularly clear and smooth; Faced with situations that may be interrupted and questioned by professors or classmates at any time, it often makes people nervous. However, the only way to prepare this kind of homework is to master the content of the manuscript and let other students "audition" in advance, and then take your time when you make a formal report. Many professors like to use term reports instead of exams to evaluate students' academic performance. Therefore, all kinds of details about writing term reports can't be ignored. In order to avoid that your report format does not meet the requirements of the professor, it is best to ask the professor for a sample report in advance and write it according to its regulations, so as to be foolproof. For example, most students in distracted science departments must abide by the report format published by APA (American Psychological Association) and must not be sloppy at all. When studying in the United States, you must not underestimate the copyright issue when writing a term report. Anyone who quotes other people's information or words must specify it in detail to avoid being accused of "plagiarism", which will lead to low grades and even the fate of being expelled from school. If you can always quote the original sentence with quotation marks and indicate the original author, title and page number, you can avoid plagiarism. At the beginning of the term report, you can discuss any questions or ideas with the professor during office hours. If you finish the report before the deadline, you might as well discuss it with the professor first. On the one hand, it is conducive to the overall revision of the report, on the other hand, it can increase the impression of the professor. It is the basic right of students to see professors during office hours. Never give up your rights for fear of bothering the professor. When writing a term report, the first thing to consider is the quality of the content, not the beauty of the text. So as long as the grammar is correct, the main idea is prominent, and the meaning is coherent and clear, it is an excellent report.
