Four. Guide to studying abroad in Australia
Secret 1. notes
In Australia, there is no syllabus and unified teaching materials, and every professor has his own academic opinions and teaching methods, so even the bibliography given by the professor can't replace the notes in class.
If some students can't take notes independently because of language barriers, they must borrow them from students with neat handwriting. Complete notes are the basis for reviewing the final exam.
Secret 2: Take tutoring and homework seriously.
The performance evaluation of foreign universities will calculate the usual test scores. If you can improve your test scores, your final scores will be half guaranteed.
In addition, tutoring and homework are the focus of the exam, which is basically the same as that of Huada. In college, the role of tutor is to answer academic questions, correct homework, do exercises and conduct peacetime tests.
The problem of remedial classes must be understood, because it is likely to be the content of usual tests and exams.
Secret three, participation? A support group?
Because of the different learning environment and learning methods, many students can't finish their studies smoothly when they first enter school, which is especially obvious in the first stage of university. A support group? Will provide a lot of help for yourself.
Tip 4: Learning is not memorizing, but applying what you have learned.
The elimination rate of foreign universities is very high, which is different from the traditional education methods in China. Exams can't just rely on rote memorization.
If you can't draw inferences about this course, the chances of passing it are slim, which also shows that the exam is not easy.
Foreign students can only succeed if they understand the questions accurately and answer them rigorously, so this requires students to have strong understanding and analysis ability for discipline organization and thinking.
Tip 5: Actively interact with professors.
Because it is not easy to communicate with professors abroad, you should apply for consulting professors 1-2 times at least every semester here.
Through the contact with the teacher, I will leave a good impression on the teacher, which will be helpful in the final evaluation, and I will probably learn some tricks from the teacher.
Don't underestimate these tips, a few points can often change the final result.
Tip 6: Review after class
When you collect the exam review content, even after the question bank (open question and answer), you need to review all these contents, and then select several key topics for key review.
Fifth, learn APP.

2. Bibliography

Why not try some useful apps, such as free EasyBib, scanning the barcode of books to generate ALA, APA or Chicago format. There are also endnotes, resources and quick quotes.
3. Capturing lectures and recording lectures
The professor spoke too fast in class and didn't write it down? Don't worry, you can use the mobile APP to record the contents of the class, such as Soundnote(IOS) and Notability, both of which have notebooks and recordings. If there is any missing part in your notes in class, you can use keywords to jump to the recording of this part. If you want to make a video, you can download ShareYourBoard (Android).

6. Guide to Studying in Australia.
Before choosing a course, students should know the course content, requirements, class time, professors and other detailed information of each course before considering whether to choose this course. These materials can be found on the school website or electronic curriculum.
If students can't accurately grasp the course information just by reading this information, they can ask their predecessors or teaching assistants for advice. Remember to choose courses blindly, it is easy to get high credits or even fail.
In Australia, under normal circumstances, you can successfully complete credits by choosing 4 to 5 courses each semester. Don't take too many classes every semester to put too much pressure on your studies. As a result, you can't get good grades in the exam, which is not worth the loss.
Each professor has his own teaching style and teaching mode, and has different requirements for students. Therefore, students should know a certain course as well as the professors they teach.
Another advantage of Australia is that you can choose a course for audition, and you can change it if you feel bad.
In the first week of school, all courses are in the audition stage. In the first class, the professor will briefly introduce the teaching plan, examination methods and assessment methods of this semester. Therefore, students can readjust the course if they feel inappropriate or have a large difficulty coefficient after listening to the class.
