Do you know what American students have to do in their
schools? In America, at the beginning of the term, students must choose their
courses and teachers first. While in China students usually have no chances to
choose their courses and teachers.
Choosing is very important for your grades in America.
So at the first term, don’t choose too many courses, or you’ll feel very
nervous and it may influence your study. Then you have to ask for some teaching
plans. There is some information about subjects, time arranging, marks and
textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers
have different teaching methods. If the teacher is called “killer” by the last
grade, many students will give up choosing him. Because this kind of teacher
will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades.
There is another thing after you choose the courses
and the teachers. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The
textbooks in America are very expensive. Each copy is about 30～50. In order to save money, many students buy some
used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school
library. You must get enough ready before classes. In class, discussing is very
important. The teacher encourages you to raise questions or show your own opinions.
They don’t usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand
everywhere you like. They don’t give you much homework to do. You can learn
some knowledge and do exercises by yourself.
