semester topic

SEMESTER TOPIC: Process of Higher Education Application in China and America

RELATION TO THE TOPIC: I chose this topic for this semester’s English composition course because this is an area that I really want to explore more. American higher education is famous for its high standard and is the representative of western education system. Chinese higher education, on the other hand, represents the eastern system. I will write four essays to explore the difference in one aspect of these two educational systems, application process, in depths. On the othe hand, I myself have experience both the process. I had my first two years’ college education in China and then applied to transfer to Purdue. So comparing others who just go to college in either China or America, I think I have more to say.

WHO WILL BE INTERESTED IN MY TOPIC: Nowadays, many college students in China began to think if the Chinese higher education is working well. The application system is one of the areas they think about most. In these years, many people began to discuss whether the current application process is the best choice. I hope my essays will help they get to know about how is the application process in other educational system and what they can learn from it to improve the Chinese higher educational system. For Americans, I think my topic might also be helpful, because education is an area where you can see the difference between the western and eastern philosophy. Chinese education system indicates the eastern Confucian philosophy, which emphasis more on education than western world, so in China, grade is everything in application, and the better the school you go, maybe the cheaper you pay and more fellowship you’ll get because people believe that you will be a great person and contribute more than others.
