【正文】 dropout (輟學(xué)) rates for all freshmen at American universities is around 20 percent, the rate for online students is 35 percent. Students themselves seem to understand the weakness inherent (內(nèi)在的) in the setup. In a survey conducted for eCornell, the DL division of Cornell University, less than a third of the respondents expected the quality of the online course to be as good as the classroom course.Clearly, from the school’s perspective, there’s a lot of money to be saved. Although some of the more ambitious programs require new investments in servers and networks to support collaborative software, most DL courses can run on existing or minimally upgraded (升級(jí)) systems. The more students who enroll in a course but don’t e to campus, the more the school saves on keeping the lights on in the classrooms, paying doorkeepers, and maintaining parking lots, and, while there’s evidence that instructors must work harder to run a DL course for a variety of reasons, they won’t be paid any more, and might well be paid less.76.

There is one extra heading.A. Classroom participationB. Differences in American university educationC. Examination systemD. Competition among studentsE. Honest policy in students’ school workF. Students’ responsibility for learning80. There is considerable variety in university classrooms in the United States. Because of diverse teaching methods and nonstandardized curricula (課程), no two courses are the same. Undergraduate courses are considerable different from graduate courses. The classroom atmosphere in expensive, private universities may differ from that in munity colleges which are free and open to everyone. 81. Participation (參與) in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the student’s oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (., listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, student questions, and informal lectures.82. Many teachers believe that the responsibility for learning lies with the student. If a long reading assignment is given, instructors expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination. (Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams.) The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades. 83. Ideally, the teacherstudent relationship at universities is characterized by trust. The honor system, put forward by the teacher and the university demands that the student be honest in all areas of school work. Thus, cheating on tests, plagiarizing (抄襲) in written work, presenting other’s ideas as original, and turning in homework pleted by someone else are all prohibited (禁止). 84. Relationships between students in the classroom can be cooperative or petitive. International students should not hesitate to ask for help if it is needed. There are courses, however, where grades are calculated in relation to other student’s scores. Therefore, in classes where such a grading curve is used, students may be reluctant to share lecture notes or information for fear that their own grades will suffer. 第Ⅱ卷 (共45分)Ⅰ.
