一个中国留学生在信息学院学习生活的经历

作为谢菲尔德大学信息学院的学生大使,我本人的情况是在英国读过本科,但学的不是信息管理专业,没有上语言课。如果是没有在英国读过本科的人,上语言课可能是个比较好的选择,既能提高自己的英文能力,也能提前适应在英国读书的生活。 在开学之前会有一个写论文的小测试,就是需要写700字的文献综述,不占分数,老师会鼓励大家写这个文章, 能帮助大家了解自己写作中擅长以及需要提升的地方,以后写论文的时候可以避免低分的情况发生。同时学校也会给每个学生安排学术性写作以及数字技能的课程,教大家怎么写学术性写作以及如何使用学校的网站,怎么搜索书籍等等很实用的技巧。每个人都会有个人导师,有生活或者学业上的问题是可以跟导师约时间交流的。在谢菲尔德大学的学联是很出名的,大家可以在课余时间参与一些社团活动,充实一下自己的生活。 众所周知,信息管理是世界第二的专业,很多中国人都慕名而来。不少必修课都是大课,当然也有可以不少可供选择的选修课。课程的作业都是以不同的形式以不同比例来展现的,比如个人作业占百分之60和小组作业占总成绩的百分之40,有的必修课是需要机考的。在这些课程里, 建模的授课模式是我喜欢的,小班制,与中国教学不同的是上课之前需要看老师提前录制好的课程,课堂上主要是老师和学生的互动,老师会随机分组,并且分配任务,课上会有助教,帮助解答不会的问题。而且每节课都有回放,也不用担心听不懂或者错过课程。如果像我一样本科不是这个专业的学生,也不用担心建模很难,只需要跟着老师每节课把分配的任务做好就可以了。 除了课程以外,在谢菲有著名古老的电梯,漂亮的达西庄园,可爱的羊驼,有好吃的中餐,有方便的电车。谢菲的物价感人并且相对安全。 赵欣颜 (This blog is also available in English here )

A Chinese student's experience at the Information School

As a student ambassador at the Information school, my personal situation is that I have studied my undergraduate degree in the UK, but I did not study Information Management before coming here. If you are a person who has not studied at undergraduate level in the UK, a language class may be a good choice, not only improve your English ability but also help you to adapt to studying in the UK. Before your course properly starts in the Information School, there will be a small test, where you need to write a 700-word literature review, which is not credit-bearing. The teachers will encourage you to write this essay, which will help you to find where you need to improve, to avoid low marks in next assignments. The School also arranges academic writing and digital skills courses for each student, teaching you how to write academic writing and how to use the School's website, how to search for books and so on. Every student has a personal tutor. If you have a personal or academic pro...
