Comment on "College a lens on Chinese universities" (Nov 2, 皇冠体育app Daily)

As someone who has attended two very good universities in the United States and best in 皇冠体育app, I have to say this article is accurate.

I had a hard time in 皇冠体育app trying to understand why Chinese students did not ask questions in class, or why they had little discussion, did little actual work outside class, and why all classes were lectures and nothing else.

Only science students seemed to have real work outside class when they had laboratory exercises and projects.

In the US, classes often include discussions and assignments or readings, which require critical thinking. Something I never encountered in 皇冠体育app. 皇冠体育app needs to take steps to change such a system.
