Cultural tips

In Chinese universities, the size of each class depends on the subject being taught. Foreign language classes normally have only a dozen students so each student can get enough chance to practice. But for other popular public lectures, the number of students can reach several hundred. In the past, students were mainly there to listen. But nowadays, more and more students participate in classes. For example, students can prepare classroom demonstrations and performances based on the content of the class. They can also participate in class discussions. Through these class activities, students may better master the knowledge being taught, develop better abilities for analysis and problem solving, acquire better skills for organizing and coordinating events and also better team cooperation.
