| Summary |
Designed to help Asian students make a successful adjustment to study overseas, the book begins with an analysis of the major problems encountered by students from Asia when they settle into schools, colleges and universities abroad. It explains what teachers and academics expect of students at each level of education. The book is an attempt to make clear the underlying problems of adjustment to new approaches to study - in particular, the demand for 'critical thinking'. The strategies for coping with these problems are based on the experience of successful overseas students in an Australian University. Key topics covered include: (1) writing essays and theses in English; (2) getting the most out of reading, lectures and laboratory work; (3) joining in discussions and seminars; (4) dealing with 'study shock' in a foreign country |
