U-Life: the Lecture
Today, I joined lecture with my friend. My friend is a student in York. Her major is accounting. Because I want to study accounting when I join the university, I joined my friend's class. The lecture's name is Business in the Canadian Context. Every course has its own code. This lecture's code is ADMS 1010. We were in TEL 0010 (Technology Enhanced Learning). This was first time, I joined university's course. Many things are different with high school. First is different way to teach from instructor. Second is different manner from students. Third is difficult content. I felt a little bit nervous ambience in university's class. I found that native speakers could understand what instructor said immediately. They also answered question more than international students. On the other hand, I heard some special word in lecture, so learning more vocabularies are important for us.

How are the professor and the students different from high school? Maybe the students are more outgoing with the professor? Or are they less outgoing?
We always say that the difference between high school and university is that in university you are expected to be an adult. In high school, the teacher has a responsibility to try to make certain that every student passes the course. High school teachers are, legally, like the students' parents. In university, however, professors are not required to do extra work to try to correct a student's attitude or study habits. The student is responsible for her own success or failure. In fact, the better quality universities have higher failure rates -- if many students don't make it through to graduation, that means the university is difficult, the students must learn well to pass, and the degrees are therefore more valuable.
