Key Words Here!
-By Yan Tang (Stella)
Open-minded:
It means that you can ask questions or give your own opinions to professors whenever you want. Even when a professor is talking, you can still ask your questions or give your ideas, unless the professor tells you not to interrupt his/her lecture in advance. However, you have to raise your hands before you begin to talk, in order to show respect to your professors. Furthermore, do not be afraid to ask stupid questions or state stupid ideas. All questions and ideas are valuable here.
Less-intensive:
Most of American classes are student-oriented. Professors give their lectures based on the students’ understanding of materials. Most professors welcome students to visit them during their office hours. Therefore you can get more explanation about your questions during that period. As a result, you will not feel so intensive or nervous in the class.
More-flexible:
The class etiquette varies from one class to another, since it is set by professors themselves. All the rules be different. For example, some professors do not required attendance, but others do. Another example is that eating and drinking are not allowed in some professors’ class, but other professors don’t care. And all the etiquettes are written in the professors’ syllabuses. Therefore, it is important for you to read each professor’s syllabus carefully before you go to the first class.
