Diversity in Education

there is considerable variety in university

classrooms in US. These caused by the diverse

teaching methods and non-standardized curricula,

and also no two courses are identical.

Undergraduate courses ≠ graduate courses.

Private universities ≠ state-funded universities.

The Teacher-Student Relationship

Teachers have several roles in relation to students; they may be counselors and friends as well as teachers.

Students must realize that when a teacher’s role changes, they must appropriately adapt their behavior and attitude.

A professor or a teacher may have coffe one day with students but the next day expect them to meet a deadline for submission of a paper.

6

Independent Learning

In US, the professors have other duties besides teaching. Often they are responsible for administrative work within their departments.

If a grade is not given, the student is responsible for learning the material assigned. The professors expects the students to take initiative and to complete the assignment with minimal guidance, and they hope that students, partidulary graduate students to be able to exhaust the reference sources in the library.

The Honor System

The “honor system “imposed by

the teacher and the university,

demands that the student be

honest in all areas of school work.

Competition

There are many reasons for the presence of

competition between students in US :

A high grade point average is needed for

entrance to superior graduate schools.

Their grade point average and faculty

recommendations is needed for facing a

competitive job market or any other jobs.
