高中VS大學
看曼尼托巴大學教授幫您分析之間的區別(下)
WRITING
寫作
Most writing assignments are designed to introduce you to basics (paragraphing, citation, organization, idea generation) and to get you more comfortable with writing. In general, the assignments are short and although you are asked to do some research, scholarly sources are not required and critical thinking is not emphasized.
大多數的寫作作業都是為了向你介紹基礎知識(分段、引用、組織、構思),讓你更適應寫作。總的來說,作業很短,雖然要求你做一些研究,但不需要學術資料,也不強調批判性思維
Professors expect you to write in a style that is appropriate to their discipline (e.g. History or Biology). You may be asked to write in a variety of styles including lab reports, research papers, or literary analysis papers. Essays in first-year courses are generally 3-8 pages and most will require that all evidence/information is provided by experts (called scholarly sources) rather than general information found on sites like Wikipedia. Papers are not based on your opinion. Instead they are based on your analysis of the evidence, and you are expected to find, organize and present that evidence in an essay. All the information you include should be cited. If you don't cite you could be charged with plagiarism, which has significant academic consequences. Format, style and grammar are also very important
教授希望你的寫作風格符合他們的學科(如歷史或生物)。你可能會被要求寫各種風格的報告,包括實驗室報告,研究報告,或文學分析報告。一年級課程的論文一般為3-8頁,大多數要求所有證據/信息由專家(稱為學術來源)提供,而不是像維基百科這樣的網站上的一般信息。論文不是基于你的觀點。相反,它們是基于你對證據的分析,你需要在一篇文章中找到、組織和呈現這些證據。你所提供的所有信息都應該被引用。如果你不引用,你可能會被指控剽竊,這將帶來嚴重的學術后果。格式、風格和語法也很重要。
How to deal 怎樣去做?
There will be differences in writing expectations from course to course. Pay attention to these differences.
不同的課程會有不同的寫作預期。注意這些差異。
Use your assignment descriptions, and if you have questions about the assignment, see your professor or the course's Teaching Assistant.
如果你對作業有疑問,請講你的作業描述給你的教授或課程的助教。
Go see a peer writing tutor. Appointments are free and tutors are located in Elizabeth Dafoe, the Science and Technology Library, and the Management Library.
去看匹配的寫作導師。預約導師是免費的,地址位于伊麗莎白·達福科技圖書館和管理圖書館。
Visit a reference librarian. They are located in all libraries and can help you find appropriate scholarly sources for your papers.
拜訪圖書管理員。它們位于各個圖書館當中,可以協助你找到適合你的論文的學術資源。
Attend Academic Writing Workshop.
參加學術寫作小組
Visit the UM Academic Integrity site. Take the online tutorial and do the quiz.
瀏覽曼尼托巴大學學術網站。參加一些在線教程并做測試。
Often faculty will list a writing skills manual on their textbook lists. Buy it and use it. If you need help using it effectively, see a writing tutor!
通常情況下,院系會在他們的教科書清單上列出一些寫作技巧。可以購買并使用它。如果你需要有效地使用它,可以去找一個寫作導師!
The Academic Learning Centre also offers workshops during the year on citation styles, and on how to properly integrate research into your writing (paraphrase, summary and quote).
在這一年中學術學習中心還提供了關于引用風格的研討會,以及如何將研究恰當地整合到你的寫作中(意譯、總結和引用)。
CREATING COMMUNITY
創建社區
To a certain extent, community is often created for you. Even at a big HS you are with the same group of students in many classes: some of your neighbors might be teachers in the school; you play sports with your classmates, and your classmates' parents often know each other and socialize. Student groups are part of the daily routine, advertised well, and may involve many of your friends.
在某種程度上,社區往往是為你創建的。即使是在高中,在很多班級里,你也和同樣的一群學生在一起:你的一些鄰居可能是學校的老師;你和你的同學一起運動,你同學的父母經常互相認識和社交。學生團體是日常生活的一部分,廣告做得很好,可能會涉及到你的許多朋友。
You will need to create your own community. For some students this is liberating because they can 're-boot' and make a whole new group of friends. For others, making friends is harder and connections on campus could be more challenging.
你需要創建自己的社區。對一些學生來說,這是一種解放,因為他們可以“重新啟動”,結交一群全新的朋友。對另一些人來說,在校園里交朋友更困難,建立聯系也更具挑戰性。
How to deal 怎樣去做?
The UM Student Union hosts a large number of student groups. Look at the list and join one!
曼尼托巴大學學生會擁有大量的學生團體。看看這個列表,加入一個!
Make contact with the students sitting around you in your classes. If you aren't alone, others will be, and they'll appreciate the new contact.
與坐在你周圍的學生保持聯系。如果你不是一個人,其他人也會是,他們會感激你的新接觸。
Participate in university events
參加大學活動
Volunteer
當志愿者
Look for jobs on campus
在校園里找工作
Drop by the Student Life office and see what activities they've planned for the term.
順便去學生生活辦公室看看他們這學期計劃了什么活動。
RULES and REGULATIONS
規則和條例
There are rules and policies but they can usually be addressed relatively easily. Dropping a class, missing a test, getting sick, or joining a student group or a sports activity requires some paperwork but much of it can be done by visiting an office or two and getting your parent's signature.
學校有學校規則和政策,但他們通常可以通過拜訪家長學校或者家長的簽字來相對容易地解決。如逃課、錯過考試、生病、參加學生團體或體育活動。
You have more freedom and more responsibility. Rules and regulations are really important on a university campus, and it is your responsibility to know these rules and to follow required procedures. If you don't, they could affect your life negatively. Missing the final date for dropping a course, for example, will mean that you will have to stay in that class. Missing an exam is a big deal, and not taking the right course in the term that it is offered could mean that it will take you longer to finish your degree.
你有更多的自由和更多的責任。規章制度在大學校園里是很重要的,你有責任了解這些制度并遵守必要的程序。如果你不這樣做,他們可能會對你的生活產生負面影響。例如,如果錯過了退課的最后期限,就意味著你必須留在那個班。錯過一場考試是一件大事,而沒有在規定的期限內選擇正確的課程可能意味著你需要更長的時間來完成你的學位。
How to deal 怎樣去做?
Pay attention to Important Dates and Deadlines and course requirements, and get help if you don't understand!
注意重要的日期、最后期限和課程要求,如果你不明白就尋求幫助!
Understand and practice academic integrity as part of your university studies. Familiarize yourself with the policies and resources on the UM Academic Integritysite.
了解并實踐學術誠信作為你大學學習的一部分。熟悉曼尼托巴大學術網站的政策和資源。
Meet with an academic advisor for advice and guidance on academic choices and degree plans. Advisors can assist you directly and make referrals to other resources and supports on campus.
與學術指導老師會面,就學術選擇和學位計劃提供建議和指導。顧問可以直接幫助你,并推薦其他資源和校園支持。
The Academic Calendar is the University of Manitoba's official publication that lists the policies, academic regulations and degree requirements. It's a large document that will take time to navigate and should be reviewed regularly and in conjunction with your advising sessions.
校歷是曼尼托巴省大學的官方出版物,列出了政策、學術規定和學位要求。這是一個很大的文件,需要花時間來瀏覽,應該定期檢查,并與你的建議會議相結合。
Come to Orientation. It is a full day with lots of information designed to introduce you to many of the University systems and connect you with friendly faces and departments on campus.
