If anyone has any questions about the website, please feel free to discuss here. ::z1 Thank you more than I can say! I feel it's not so useful for graduate students, but maybe it's useful for some undergraduates here::z1 cool！ Thanks guys

Being a graduate student myself, I still feel the website is useful in the sense it is a good place to improve my English ===> the video and audio lecture is great. The undergraduate classes are useful for me as well because I can know more about other subjects from Accounting to Chem to Engg, somewhere down the road, these subjects might be useful in my career::z5 It looks like they offer a course on English, called "Listening, Speaking, and Pronunciation", as part of their foreign languages curriculum. I haven't had a look at it myself, but it certainly may be worth checking out. sweetie,it sounds interesting回复 #13 PigHead3 的帖子
The fact is that you have limited time as a graduate student, you have to read the original papers rather than textbooks, and attending seminars rather than textbook based lectures, there are very good seminars in MIT WEBSITE in a webpage named MIT world, I think these maybe more useful for graduates students::z1rW-KY'_*|1W{7H1WX K)~9?#Dke.?
[[i] 本帖最后由 cosmoon 于 2007-1-12 20:22 编辑 [/i]] Good info.

However it has a big difference with that taught in Europe
回复 #21 lovejustlove 的帖子
I wonder how different it could be. ::z7Different textbook? Different professor? Different teaching style? Different lecture notes? Different classmates? ::z1 8tB`YP"z0t
Oh, and different English I guess::z2 Bingo, they are all different ~ :)
U @ w"{8Qy D
Take macro economic as example, basically the theories are the same, but teacher will put
them in different order in order to help students understanding. Sometimes, since the time
#X:j3\QEp8\F
doesn't allow us to learn all the chapters on the book, some of which will be skipped. So it
would be better(saves the time , help you pass the exams) to read your own teachers'
slides.But if you have time and the interest on some theories that were not metioned by k V g2`9b4_
-X(K-MI-w6]6kd
your lectors,it could be a nice place to learn them:)
&v:_/b3w.E c
And for some courses,like accounting, maybe the terms are total different due to Europe is ~ }Y$`){G9b
is using the different Fisical systems.They all have their own accounting association who
|O6_ P%t
makes different regulations. While you can read it to see the differences.

I agree on the accounting part as I know here CPA rules while in UK probably is ACCA (not sure the exact name, lol, I know in Canada is CGA, CMA and CA::z1 ).ig ?({)D1wdN/p'F\%n_,{ Y!h8y
But in term of skipping chapters...well, I think the US professors are less good at that than no one::z5 One of my professor basically skipped half of the book, and only do the cherrypicking on the other half. That really depends on the professor I guess. great thread thanks a lot Good job！ Thank you for sharing this information. [quote]原帖由 [i]PigHead3[/i] 于 2007-1-27 07:16 发表Xctfkw
