Academic life at the university

1. Academic life in the United States may be confusing. International students often comment that U.S. students are competitive but do not seem to study very hard. Or it may seem puzzling that although there is great informality in the classroom, the professors are very demanding. Some of these apparent contradictions can be explained in terms of their underlying values. Creativity, tolerance and flexibility are, in general, valued above tradition and respect for authority in the United States. Teaching styles and classroom activities vary widely and are influenced by many factors. Even where tradition does dictate academic behavior, the patterns may not be evident to someone coming from a different tradition.

2. International students are often surprised at the variety of available courses and the number of choices they must make each term. There is a basic structure to any degree program, but many options usually exist as well, and students are often expected to make selections independently.

3. Your professor or instructor has wide discretion to make and enforce certain classroom policies relating to attendance, make-up examinations, and other issues. Underpinning this discretion is the strong American tradition of academic freedom.

4. There are some American students’ behaviors that you may find surprising or that would be considered disrespectful in your country. For example, students may sit in class with there feet on the chair or desk in front of them. They may eat, drink, or even sleep in class! Students may interrupt lectures to ask questions or even to raise questions to what is being said. In general, none of these behaviors denotes disrespect unless done in a belligerent or aggressive manner. In fact, one way in which an American student shows respect for his or her teacher is by being an active participant in class.

V. Определите верно или неверно утверждение

1. Traditionalism is less valued than creativity, tolerance, flexibility in the American academic life.

2. American students have freedom to choose a course.

3. It is academic freedom that is the strong American tradition.

4. American professors are governed by fixed rules relating to classroom policies.

5. American teachers do not object to students’ belligerent behavior.

• Testing system

Before children starting school at the age of five they are tested in reading, writing and use of number. This “baseline assessment” is aimed at providing the teachers with more information, as well as allowing the measurement of pupil’s progress as they move through the school.

All children in state schools are tested in English and mathematics at the ages of 7, 11, and 14. At the age of 11 and 14 they are also tested in science. The tests are usually taken at the end of the academic year. The children are tested against the learning targets set by the national curriculum. All children in state schools in Northern Ireland are tested formally in English, mathematics and science only at the age of 14.

At Key Stage 4, the national curriculum gives schools the opportunity to offer pupils aged 14 to 16 a wider choice of subjects, for example craft or drama. There is a range of GCSE and vocational courses to cater for these areas.

Before they leave school, most 15 and 16 year olds also take General Certificate of Secondary Education or similar qualifications.
