I am an undergraduate in the class of 2014. I was very confused before I went to college. I didn’t know what college life was like. So I didn’t understand anything after I got to college, and I missed a lot of opportunities. It’s a pity.
So I hope this answer will be helpful to students who are about to go to college.
(Take Xiamen University as an example. It may be different from some schools, but it is similar) I would like to divide university life into two aspects: 1. University daily life and curriculum 2. How to live university life.
1. First of all, correct two points of view on daily life and curriculum in college (1) A junior high school teacher once told us that after these few years, college will be like living a fairy-like life.
This may be true for some people who want to hang out in college, but for someone who hopes to engage in a job corresponding to the major studied in college, this is definitely wrong.
(2) Some people say that you can often go out to play in college. This view should be said that compared to high school, there are more, but not much. Generally, you can only go out on weekends or holidays, or occasionally go out on a certain day when there are few classes. Sometimes
I would go to an off-campus restaurant with my classmates to eat.
I spent most of my time in the dormitory.
Generally, it means time and line, dormitory, department activities and meetings or volunteering, library, restaurant.
These basically take up Monday to Friday and most weekends (because department activities generally only occur on weekends to ensure that everyone has time).
The university course is like this: The picture comes from the Internet. Section 12? Section 8:00-9:4034? Section 10:10-11:5056? Section 2:30-4:1078? Section 4:40-6:2091011 Section 7:
10-9:45 The classes in universities are also different from those in high schools. For example, if there are 120 people in your college, they will be divided into 60 people per class when they enroll. They are not classes that are taken together by this class.
For example, the school will arrange for two teachers to teach this class, with 60 people in each class. It is up to the 120 people to choose which teacher they want to teach. Depending on the teacher selected, the time and place of the class may be different.
The initial classes assigned by the school are only for those who have just entered the school. They are easy to manage and easy to notify. Generally, any notifications will be notified through the QQ group of this class.
When in class, I just look at my class schedule. When there are classes, I go to the teaching building (there are several buildings dedicated to classes in the school). When there are no classes, I usually stay in the dormitory or some students go to the library or teaching.
Self-study in a classroom where no one is in class.
When you stay in the dormitory, you may play games, watch videos, study, chat, etc.
Take a look at the class schedule above. If you calculate the time, you will find that you actually don’t have much time left on your working day. However, different majors have different class schedules. Some majors have few and easy classes, but if you choose medicine, architecture, etc.
Majors have more classes.
Some are also pursuing double majors, even taking classes on weekends.
You also have homework to complete, so you don't have much time outside of class.
(In the above schedule, there are classes at the beginning and no classes at the end of the day. In fact, this is not necessarily the case. There may be classes at 12, no classes at 34, and then classes at 56.) Every class in college is a new class.
, almost every class is taught one lesson. Some classes only have exercises during the midterm or final. Some classes have midterm exams, and some do not. The final exam can only take one subject per day. If there are many classes, there may be exams every day of the week.
, so that period is called exam week.
Because the lectures progress very quickly, it is difficult to study as intensively as in high school, so the exam questions are not that in-depth. Generally, you can cope with the exam by understanding the exercises at the back of the book. During the exam week, the exam can only take up to 2 hours a day, so the review time is
There is still plenty of money. You can ask your seniors for exam papers from previous years. Just do a few sets and you will have a higher chance of encountering the original questions. Unless the teacher recommends it, you generally don’t need to find questions yourself and there aren’t that many.
time.
At the beginning of college, the school may notify you about trivial matters such as getting things here and there, attending lectures, etc. You will also gradually buy some daily necessities, and you will also need to get broadband, get familiar with the campus, etc.
In addition to talking about life issues such as precautions, the information session may also talk about some plans for studying abroad, so you should decide in advance whether you want to go abroad and choose whether to sign up for some projects.
Some dormitories are more cohesive and do everything together, while others have their own circle.
At the beginning of the semester, some student union departments are recruiting, and various teams are recruiting new students, and there are also some crowdfunding and other activities. You can choose to participate in these based on your own interests.
It's best to apply for a few, as some activities may be held in the future to prevent college life from being too monotonous. Generally, large-scale recruitment will occur at this time, and there will be fewer opportunities to enter in the future.
We basically have homework for every class, usually exercises at the back of the book. Hand it in on time, and the teacher's assistant will give you an ABCD grade. This grade will be calculated proportionally into the total grade, but as long as you hand it in, the answer won't be a big problem.
If you can do A, even if you copy the answer completely, it will still be A. Although the teaching assistant reads every question, he will not care about you.
