Hello, today we are going to talk to you in detail about what kind of assignments you may encounter during your study abroad! First of all, I would like to introduce several types of assignments to you: Asignment, Research paper, Term paper, Course paper, Quiz, Report and Reading.
Homework is the kind of work we usually do the most. It includes a wide range of assignments, including not only the most basic individual work, but also group work or project defence. Although this kind of homework is common, but still need to be taken seriously! A project is a big task! It usually requires team members to work together. If you have a plan to form a team now, you should treasure this opportunity because it is a great chance to develop teamwork and collaboration skills!
Presentations are really just a great show! Just present your own research results and experimental data clearly. Remember to make full use of the opportunity to show your thinking and talent.
Let’s talk about essays and papers. essays are a form of informal writing that focuses more on the expression of personal attitudes and thoughts. The paper is much more serious, stressing professionalism and rigour. For example, Research paper requires us to find a large number of published academic papers and conduct in-depth research; Term paper requires us to choose our own topic and complete an original discussion paper.
Take a look at the lets discussQuiz below. These tests are usually given in the first class of the week and cover the previous lecture and text, and usually last for 1 or 2 classes. This is an important means of checking the effectiveness of our learning, so remember to prepare for it.
Reports are mainly used by science and engineering students to present experimental data. For example, they need to use the results of these experiments to support the content of the report. For students majoring in humanities and social sciences, since they do not need to take the final exam, then Report is really critical! So, no matter which major you are, you should pay attention to Report!
Finally, let’s talk about Reading. This kind of assignment is generally applicable to those courses that require assigned textbooks, and requires us to do a good job of pre-study before class, have a general understanding of the content to be learnt in class, and grasp the key points in advance. In addition, it is also necessary to review and consolidate in time after class so as not to forget. With the aid of the textbook, it will be more convenient to understand the classroom knowledge and in-depth mastery.
The above is the explanation of the types of homework for international students that we have prepared for you. We hope it can help you to cope with all kinds of assignments better!
