Introduction to the classroom form of Australian international students

Due to the differences in schools, majors and courses, there are some differences in the classroom forms of Australian students, but there are the following types:

1. Lecture: Lecture is the main form of large-scale courses, and professors or lecturers impart knowledge to students through speeches. Students usually sit in the classroom, listen and take notes. Lectures can be based on textbooks or professors' explanations, and sometimes there will be interactive sessions, such as asking questions.

2. Tutorial class: Tutorial class is a form of group discussion and interaction, usually presided over by teaching assistants. Students can ask questions, discuss and solve problems in class. The purpose of teaching is to deepen the understanding of the course content and provide opportunities for communication with other students and teaching assistants.

3. Laboratory: Experimental classes are mainly used to cultivate practical and experimental skills. Students will carry out specific experimental operations in the laboratory, such as scientific experiments, computer programming or engineering practice. Experimental classes are usually guided and supervised by laboratory teaching assistants.

4. Seminar: Seminar is a form of group discussion and research, usually presided over by professors or researchers. Students will read and discuss academic papers, research projects or other important topics in the seminar. The seminar encourages students to ask questions, share ideas and think critically.

5. Group projects: Some courses may have group projects, requiring students to cooperate to complete specific tasks or projects. Students need to work together, coordinate time and resources, and finally submit a * * * same result.

It should be noted that different schools and courses may have different classroom forms. At the beginning of each course, the professor usually introduces the teaching methods and requirements of the course in detail In order to adapt to the classroom form smoothly, we can read the syllabus in advance, actively participate in classroom discussions and ask professors or teaching assistants for help.
