Note: Studying at an American university, forget how you wrote abstracts, course and degree houses, rewriting or paraphrasing texts from different sources. If you write here, or even paraphrase someone’s words and do not point at the source, the consequences can be serious – an exclusion from the university, and in some cases even a case. You should write only yourself and quote, necessarily indicating the source. Each teacher has a special computer program that checks the work for plagiarism, so it’s better not to take risks. Now you understand why in the modern world most of the major scientific discoveries are not made in the CIS countries? No indulgence. In American universities do not make a “discount” to foreign students. Nobody cares that English forsomeone a second language. The tasks for all are the same and the requirements are the same. In the end, if you approach your studies seriously, you will get very good knowledge and will not yield to the American specialist in anything. Theory and practice. American education is practical, that is, all knowledge collected from books is necessarily fixed in practice. In my case, on practical pairs (which lasted two times longer than theoretical ones, more than 2.5 hours), we were taught exactly practical things – how to make websites,how to work in different video, audio and design programs, shooting, lighting, sound, working with different equipment … again, everyone chose what interests him for professional purposes. Practical couples were a bit easier for me theoretically – not much to read and write, however, preparation for them took no less time – it was necessary to do many projects throughout the semester.
