What are the differences and similarities between Australian education and Chinese education?

Differences:

1. No teaching materials

In Australia, most majors do not have syllabus and unified teaching materials. Each professor has his own academic The views and teaching methods are based on the teacher's PPT. The preview and review materials also rely more on PPT. Therefore, newborn babies should not rush to buy textbooks as soon as they arrive. First, ask the teacher of the course if they need textbooks.

If you really need it, you can go shopping for second-hand textbooks. After all, new books are really expensive, often costing more than 200 Australian dollars.

2. Daily homework also counts as grades

In Australia, the final evaluation criterion is daily homework + final exam, not just the score of the final exam. So every assignment is a battle! Every assignment is a test! They all affect your final grade! As for the proportion of the final exam, each course is different. At this point, I have to say that many majors even have no final exams at all, and grades are all determined by ordinary grades, such as social work majors and education majors. This is not to say that such a major is not tiring. Such a major is often even more tiring because there are endless papers and assignments that you need to write until you vomit...

3. Weak class concept

Many students said that after studying in Australia for two years, almost all the friends I knew were from the language class period. This is largely due to the weaker concept of class in Australia.

Even if we study the same major, we will not take classes together. Because we choose different courses and have different class times, we have less opportunities to meet. Australian teachers will not give you direct answers. Teachers will constantly ask questions and guide you. Find out for yourself!
