The difference Indonesian  college students with the United States.

Absolutely it is different. A side from language proficiency assessment method is different, universities in the United States is also a bit different with college in Indonesia.
In general, lectures in the United States is divided into two types of the lecture that 'lecture style', where professor taught courses for a long time. Second, 'model seminar' where most of class is set aside for discussion. Student participation in this way will contribute to the percentage for the last. This applies to all classes, including model lectures and seminars.And, more specifically, will have a job as long as first that you must live with. In the United States, the test the end of the first semester does not have a big portion (According to Blogs.voanews portion, the scores of 20-30 percent of the total value at the end).  Then, what is the most prominent one if a lecture in the United States?
School Assignments every week
Several subjects requires you on the tasks as scientific article every week while the other group work. In addition, there is also a presentation in the classroom or research done themselves to prove the hypothesis that you know. Tasks that you did is one of the components that include in the last.

Participation in the classroom is very important

"There is no requirement In Bolivia and public education, student of economics in taking courses does not need in the department physics or philosophy. How in Bolivia surely was good, because it makes us focus on what is really important for career in the future. But on the other side, a general education will help students to open your mind or change majoring in college, before it is too late," said Sebastian.

Tasks in groups
According to one of the international students, Jamal, universities in the United States emphasized his university students to work in a team. Sometimes, there is a project groups. So, it's a very important to note is that you should always be socialized, especially in the classroom, so that you always ready to work in groups.

Other landmarks to work in groups are: working stern based on the tasks, but not too hard so that all of the people in the group punished duties only to you!

Never trace or copy paste
In the United States, trace is a big problem. Many lecturer and professor in America that is implementing the authenticity of tasks that you did. Copy from another source, even with good intentions, can make you be put to or from school. In fact, in a case.

So, you already know about the differences attitude, System and the fact in reality The indonesian college students with the United states. If you want to be a good students, let's change. If you want to make Indonesia better, do it know.
