Today, well look at some study activities used in university. As we know, students in colleges or universities are expected to master som
38、e academic materials that are fairly difficult to understand. However, some of them find it hard to learn some complex, abstract or unfamiliar subject matter. As a result, a central problem in higher education is how to internalize academic knowledge- that is, how to make knowledge our own. In order
39、 to do so, we must convert knowledge from being “other people s knowledge“ to being part of our own ways of thinking. Then, how are we going to do it? And what are the means available to help us in the process of learning? There are four key study activities currently used in higher education to enc
40、ourage students to internalize knowledge. They are the ones we are familiar with: writing essays, going to classes and seminars, having individual tutorials, and listening to lectures. These four activities are long established features of our higher education, and they are almost as important now a
41、s they were a hundred years ago. Now let s look at the features of them one by one.First, essay writing. The central focus of university work, esp. in the humanities, for example in literature, history or politics, is on student s producing regular essays or papers which summarize and express their
42、personal understanding of a topic. Then, what is good about essay writing? Firstly, writing essays forces you to select what you find interesting in books and journals, and to express your understanding in a coherent form. Individual written work also provides teachers with the best available guide
43、to how you are progressing in a subject, ,and allows them to give advice on how to develop your strengths or counteract your weaknesses. Lastly, of course, individual written work is still the basis of almost all assessment in higher education. Written assignments familiarize you with the form that
44、your exams or coursework papers will take.The second key activity in colleges and universities is seminars and class discussions. Their role is to help you to internalize academic knowledge by providing specialized contexts, so that you can talk about such difficult problems as the trade-off between
45、 inflation and unemployment in economic policy, or the use of metaphors in Shakespeare s plays.Talking is a more interactive activity than written work. In a conversation you know immediately how effectively you are expressing a viewpoint, and can modify what you are saying in response to people s r
46、eactions. In addition, a normal program of between ten the twenty-five classes will cover far more topics in one subject than you can hope to manage in your written work. Participating in flexible conversations across this range of issues also allows you to practice using the broader knowledge gaine
47、d from other key activities such as lectures.Now, let s take a look at another activity: individual tutorials. Discussions between a teacher and one or two students are used in many colleges as a substitute for, or a supplement to, group discussions in classes, like those mentioned before. Tutorials can range from direct explanations by the teacher in a subject, to flexible conversational sessions which at their best are very effecti
