【毅伟漫谈】听听美国人告诉你转学后得注意的事儿.

刚刚更新 编辑: 美国 浏览次数:68 移动端

  在美国留学申请中,转学是不少中国学生的选择。那么在成功申请转学到美国之后,学业跟不上怎么办?暑期实习该如何找?相信这是学生们最关心的问题,带着这些问题我们采访了澳际外籍顾问William Spencer Vereen,希望他的讲解可以帮助大家顺利申请。以下内容是根据采访录音整理的文字稿,如有部分措辞不准确请大家见谅!

  Q:After transferring, some students find that they can’ t keep up with other students, what advice do you have for students to avoid this situation?

  在转学后,很多学生并不能跟上学习进度。有什么建议给学生让他们避免发生此类事情吗?

  A:It can be very difficult especially for international students to go abroad. There are many many resources at every single college to take advantage of. From my understanding, there is a writing center at almost every university. If you are struggling with writing a paper, go to the university’s writing center. You will have peers there, you will have people with PHDs there, helping you and guiding you through the process. You can come in with the finished part that you want to ameliorate over. You can go in with a set of ideas that you want to ask them and see their opinions about them. So it is on you to go and seek out this information.

  国际学生出国学习时跟上学习进度是很难的事情。每个美国高校都有非常多的资源可以利用,我知道大部分学校都有写作中心。如果学生在写论文时特别痛苦,那应去学校的写作中心看看。学生将会找到其他同龄人和博士,他们会通过程序帮助指导你写作。学生可以去那里进一步改善已经完成的论文,也可以问他们你的问题听他们的建议。当你去问时,你会找到有用的信息。

  A:A phrase in US is “Ask and You Shall Receive”. So just ask for help. Professors have office hours especially at the undergraduate level. They are required to have all these hours every single week. Where during the set time, you can go in and talk about whatever is going on. If you are disappointed at how you did on the test, go in and talk to the professor and sit down and say “I didn’t understand the question there” what are you really trying to ask. If you want help on your paper that you are writing for this class, if you want to get an idea of what he wants from you, go in and ask. Ask him what do you want from me in this paper. He will tell you. Flat out, there is no fluff, so to speak, behind what he is going to say. He is going to tell you his expectations, and then you can go from there.

  美国有句话是:“勤问必有所得”。去寻求帮助吧!美国大学本科的教授都有固定的办公时间,这是应校方要求每周的办公时间。在办公时间找他们,你可以谈论任何你想谈论的事情。如果你的考试不理想,去找教授坐下来谈谈,问他你不明白和真正想问的问题。你想在作业论文上获得帮助,你想从教授的建议中获得思路,你进去问他们吧!问他这篇论文我应怎么做,他会告诉你的。竭尽全力,这没什么错,无论老师将会说什么,你要去说去交流。他会告诉你他的想法和期待,你会从中获得提高。

  A:I guess the third thing is, if you are still struggling and you want to do better in the class or everything else. Study groups. That is a big thing in the US especially when it comes to test and close to finals and midterms. Everyone in the class is looking to do well so everyone is trying to get together with other people, because the more ideas you have, the better chances someone is going to be right on a question. And if someone know something that you don’t know, then it would benit you from going to this study group.

  我想第三点,如果你依旧很挣扎你想在班里或者比别人做的更好一些。学习小组,这是在美国尤其是在考试前和临近期中期末时特别重要的一件事。班上的每个人都希望能做得更好,从而每人都试图与别人一起学习,因为这能使人获得更多的想法,更好的机会去解决一个问题。如果有人知道你并不知道的知识,你将从这个学习小组中有所收获。

  Q:So How to find this kind of study groups?

  如何找到这种学习小组呢?

  A:Study groups can be kind of hard to find, but the easiest way is to certainly go and ask your peers in the classroom: “Hey, you know we have this test coming next week, do you want to get together and study?” Most people are going to be open to doing so, because they benit from your knowledge as well. So literally, just go and ask. Ask and You Shall Receive.

  学习小组很难找到,但最容易的方法是去问问你的同学。比如下周马上有个考试,你可以邀请同学聚一起学习复习。大多数学生会欣然接受,因为他们也能从你的学习优势中有所获益。所以去问问,勤问必有所得。

  毅伟谈转学:----------------

  昨天我们谈到了转学去美国需要注意的点,以及对成绩的要求,今天又聊到转学后如何融入美国生活,大家也能看出来,现在这个时期,正是准备转学的最佳时间。

  为什么这样讲呢?因为转学和正常就读的申请时间是有区别的,一般情况下,申请秋季转学入学的时间,比常规申请的截止时间要晚一些,大致集中在2~4月,所以接下来的三、四个月中,就是同学们准备的黄金期啦,毅伟老师们提示,转学生的GPA也包括在国内上大一大二这个时期的,所以同学们千万注意,在大学中一定要认真对待每一门课程。

  那么现在开始,我们能为你做什么呢?

  小道这里拿出大家比较关心的规划部分(Seminar1)简要介绍一下:

  首先我们会给学生建立一个澳际服务团队,给他做十分详细的留学基本流程的介绍。别看这部分似乎是老生常谈,但是在毅伟老师和学生的交流中,他会凭借多年经验给出一个对学生的初步定位。

  接下来,就是个性定制的时间了。我们会根据学生之前填写的背景调查表,对他的情况有一个基本了解,当然这个过程包括整个的seminar,学生都可以随时提问,比如说出对学校的想法,或现阶段遇到的困难等待,毅伟老师们都会最耐心的解答。

  但小道这里强调一点,根据同学们加入毅伟的时间,为你制定的申请规划也会千差万别,所以还是想说准备要趁早,早一个阶段,成功的几率也就大些。

  此后,老师会带着学生了解一遍澳际各个阶段的服务流程,包括一份对职业性向的评测。为了增强学生的信心,他们也会看到往年申请名校的成功案例。

  在seminar的最后,我们会出具根据整堂课的观察与评估,针对学生转学申请的定制方案,与职业性向评测报告,一则是为了让之后的seminar更好进行,二则学生也有必要更加了解自己。

  以上就是澳际12seminar的第一节摘录的重点内容,实际上等到学生参与进来,他一定会有更多独特的内心感受。转学申请和常规申请一样,都是对学生自身的一种考验。而留学申请的成功往往就在于比别人多走一步,想得更细一点。
