美国著名大学英文介绍ppt
『壹』 在美国读大学| 授课PPT用iPad做笔记手机拍照NO!
作/林公子
正如 在美国读大学| 老美教授们最爱用的三种授课形式 中提到的,大多数时候,一门课程中会有多种教学方式结合,教授们也都有自己的教学风格和上课方式。我也听说过有教授酷到上课什么也不带,到教室后盘腿坐在讲桌上问大家这节课你们想听点什么,一样可以很受学生欢迎。
如你所知,美国的课堂是很随意的,上课时大家随意发言甚至随意走动,有时候教授忘记下课时间拖堂了,赶时间仿扰的学生会直接提起书包出教室。甚至美国学生在课堂上吃饭也很正常,尽管一备滚旦股子汉堡包飘香,但是吃东西的人还是目不斜视认真听讲啊,想要发表个人看法时也绝不退让,嚼着三明治就发言了。哈佛MBA班早上八点固定开始上课,很多同学都是一手咖啡一手热狗走进教室,边吃边上课。
但如果你就此认为美国大学里没什么课堂纪律那就大错特错咯。在美国,基本上所有的教授都会反复声明不能在课堂上使用任何电子设备(No electronic devices),课堂玩手机?别想了,教授会直接走到你的面前问你用手机在干嘛,并且重申:No electronic devices in my class.绝对的不留一点情面。
我在国内时习惯用iPad记笔记,平时从来不带纸质笔记本的。在我第一节Organizational Behavior and Theory专业课上,我很自然地拿着iPad记笔记,没一会儿六十多岁的白发老教授站在讲台上看向我说:那位同学,不要使用电子设备。我环顾四周才意识到是在说我,于是我说:我在记笔记。
教授走到我身边: No , you can’t use electronic devices in my class。我急了: No , it’s my notebook, I use it to take notes。教授又回我:I won’t interfere your other courses, but this is my class。——我的地盘你得听我的。
刚到美国的我一下子懵逼了,要知道我已经至少两年没有专门用本子记笔记了,要知道在国内有人在课堂上记笔记老师就已经感激学生的用心了——大部分学生都是拿手机拍照得了。
而在美国,用手机拍照?你简直会被当作外星人——美国人用疑惑的眼神奇怪地看着你:为什么竟然会有人拿手机拍张照片来当作笔记?说实话, 我上过这么多课,还真没见过有人拿手机在课堂上拍下老师的笔记的。 很多美国大学包括世界顶尖高校都有明确规定,课堂上禁止用手机拍摄教学内容,连用笔记本电脑来记笔记也不行。而且,所有的教授上课都是黑板手书,你好意思瘫坐在椅子里用手机拍个照就了事?
美国教授大多喜欢直接粉笔板书,虽然美国的课堂里现代技术齐全投影仪幻灯机应有尽有,但教授们即使用PPT或者投影、视频等技术,也只是辅助教学。即使是在斯坦福大学的计算机系,很多学科的教学完全不用电脑,教授们仍然坚持用粉笔板书。为什么要这么传统?先进便捷为方便人类而产生的那些技术你们都不会用的吗?
上面说的那位不让我用iPad记笔记的教授,我课后就去和他聊天了。我内心满满的不忿——用电子设备多好,不用带那么多沉甸甸的笔记本,而且存档之后也不会怕笔记丢失,还方便搜索和定位,想看哪里点哪里。你这个老古董自己不愿意用先进的电子设备也就算了,我们年青的一代总是要进步的啊云云。我想了满肚子的理由想要去说服老教授,结果他只说一句话: 我尊重我的工作和学生,我用粉笔手写帮助大家理解教学内容,我希望我的学生也可以用手写来尊重我的工作。
所以还怎么好意思备凯用电子笔记?当白发苍苍的教授用如此认真而执着的方式表达着他对你作为学生的尊重。
看到过一位教授说为什么不喜欢用PPT授课,“我不喜欢PPT,因为只有带着你们一步步推理下来,你们才能学到东西。”
的确,有些学科是需要一定的推理过程的,如果老师只展示事先准备好的PPT,学生就没有领悟推导过程。如果再不自己动手抄写,脑子里基本不会留下什么印象,根本无法掌握好这些学科。有些学科每节课的课堂都是全新的,教授把大家有价值的观点一条一条写在黑板上而不是用PPT一条一条地播放出标准答案。
所以 很少有教授 做一个 PPT 一劳永逸地用下去。每一节课宁可用心地写满黑板。 美国的很多教室都是上推下拉好几面大黑板,我这学期有一门数学类的课,发现数学系教学楼里竟然每个教室除了安装窗户的那面墙,其它三面都是黑板!
所以怎么可能不去记笔记甚至拿手机拍拍照敷衍呢?连教授都在勤奋地反复温习以便能在不依赖 PPT 提示的情况下顺畅地讲课。
而到现在,我所有的课堂笔记都是手写,全部A4活页大笔记本,随时可以添加完善和修改,我得承认,在纸张上手写笔记更高效。手写自己有印象,尤其是我几门经济学的课,离不开各类模型和画图,自己画一遍下来也就梳理学习了一遍。而且笔记本记录修改方便,也能记录下自己不同阶段补充完善的内容,侧重点明显。
曾经酷酷的林公子,在美村也越来越“土”了。可即使是在国内,不管课堂怎么样,我也还是属于上课做笔记的一类人。你呢,还要继续拍照吗?
这几篇文章写下来,公子发现: 在国内,你想浑浑噩噩混日子太容易了,你想积极配合老师上课做笔记回答老师提问反而需要勇气,因为一不小心你就会被视为异类;在美国,你想浑浑噩噩混日子那太辛苦了,因为你需要巨大的勇气和心理承受能力,周围同学都在积极贡献自己的智慧,参与到学习当中,想靠混,反而辛苦。
这也就是为什么常常有留学生难以承受长期的压力而出现精神问题甚至自杀,很多时候不仅仅是学业压力大的问题,是有没有融入北美的学习受教育方式和有没有跟上节奏的问题。
所以下一篇可能会聊一聊什么样的人相对更能适应北美留学生活,什么样的人相对不适合出国学习。也有可能继续聊学习。到时候见。

『叁』 谁能帮我用英文介绍美国200分!!!
The United States of America, usually referred to as the United States, the USA, the U.S. or America, is a constitutional federal republic comprising fifty states and a federal district. The country is situated mostly in central North America, where its forty-eight contiguous states and Washington, D.C., the capital district, lie between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, bordered by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. The state of Alaska is in the northwest of the continent, with Canada to its east and Russia to the west across the Bering Strait, and the state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. The country also possesses several territories, or insular areas, scattered around the Caribbean and Pacific.
At 3.79 million square miles (9.83 million km²) and with more than 300 million people, the United States is the third or fourth largest country by total area, and third largest by land area and by population. The United States is one of the world's most ethnically diverse nations, the proct of large-scale immigration from many countries.[7] The U.S. economy is the largest national economy in the world, with a nominal 2006 gross domestic proct (GDP) of more than US$13 trillion (over 25% of the world total based on nominal GDP and almost 20% by purchasing power parity).[4][8]
The nation was founded by thirteen colonies of Great Britain located along the Atlantic seaboard. On July 4, 1776, they jointly issued the Declaration of Independence, which officially declared their independence from Great Britain and their formation of a cooperative union as a new nation. The rebellion was organized by the Continental Congress and succeeded in defeating Great Britain in the American Revolutionary War, the first successful colonial war of independence.[9] After briefly being governed by the Articles of Confederation it became clear that a more powerful central government was needed. It was formed after a constitutional convention and the current United States Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787. The Bill of Rights, comprising ten constitutional amendments that guaranteed many fundamental civil rights and freedoms under the new government, was ratified in 1791.
In the nineteenth century, the United States acquired land from France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Russia, and annexed the Republic of Texas and the Republic of Hawaii. Disputes between the agrarian South and instrial North over states' rights and the expansion of the institution of slavery provoked the American Civil War of the 1860s. The North's victory prevented a permanent split of the country and led to the end of legal slavery in the United States. However, the Jim Crow laws passed after reconstruction allowed racism and inequality to persist.
The Spanish-American War and World War I confirmed the nation's status as a military power. In 1945, the United States emerged from World War II as the first country with nuclear weapons, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, and a founding member of NATO. In the post–Cold War era, the United States is the only remaining superpower—accounting for approximately 50% of global military spending—and a dominant economic, political, and cultural force in the world.
History
Main article: History of the United States
Native Americans and European settlers
Main articles: Native Americans in the United States, European colonization of the Americas, and Thirteen Colonies
The indigenous peoples of the U.S. mainland, including Alaska Natives, are thought to have migrated from Asia. They began arriving at least 12,000 and as many as 40,000 years ago.[26] Several indigenous communities in the pre-Columbian era developed advanced agriculture, grand architecture, and state-level societies. In 1492, Genoese explorer Christopher Columbus, under contract to the Spanish crown, reached several Caribbean islands, making first contact with the indigenous population. In the years that followed, the majority of the indigenous American peoples were killed by epidemics of Eurasian diseases.[27]
The Mayflower transported Pilgrims to the New World in 1620, as depicted in William Halsall's The Mayflower in Plymouth Harbor, 1882On April 2, 1513, Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de León landed on what he called "La Florida"—the first documented European arrival on what would become the U.S. mainland. Of the colonies Spain established in the region, only St. Augustine, founded in 1565, remains. Later Spanish settlements in the present-day southwestern United States drew thousands through Mexico. French fur traders established outposts of New France around the Great Lakes; France eventually claimed much of the North American interior as far south as the Gulf of Mexico. The first successful English settlements were the Virginia Colony in Jamestown in 1607 and the Pilgrims' Plymouth Colony in 1620. The 1628 chartering of the Massachusetts Bay Colony resulted in a wave of migration; by 1634, New England had been settled by some 10,000 Puritans. Between the late 1610s and the American Revolution, an estimated 50,000 convicts were shipped to England's, and later Great Britain's, American colonies.[28] Beginning in 1614, the Dutch established settlements along the lower Hudson River, including New Amsterdam on Manhattan Island. The small settlement of New Sweden, founded along the Delaware River in 1638, was taken over by the Dutch in 1655.
By 1674, English forces had won the former Dutch colonies in the Anglo–Dutch Wars; the province of New Netherland was renamed New York. Many new immigrants, especially to the South, were indentured servants—some two-thirds of all Virginia immigrants between 1630 and 1680.[29] By the turn of the century, African slaves were becoming the primary source of bonded labor. With the 1729 division of the Carolinas and the 1732 colonization of Georgia, the thirteen British colonies that would become the United States of America were established. All had active local and colonial governments with elections open to most free men, with a growing devotion to the ancient rights of Englishmen and a sense of self government that stimulated support for republicanism. All had legalized the African slave trade. With high birth rates, low death rates, and steady immigration, the colonies doubled in population every twenty-five years. The Christian revivalist movement of the 1730s and 1740s known as the Great Awakening fueled interest in both religion and religious liberty. In the French and Indian War, British forces seized Canada from the French, but the francophone population remained politically isolated from the southern colonies. By 1770, those thirteen colonies had an increasingly Anglicized population of three million, approximately half that of Britain. Though subject to British taxation, they were given no representation in the Parliament of Great Britain.

Food
Main article: Cuisine of the United States
American cultural icons: apple pie, baseball, and the American flagMainstream American culinary arts are similar to those in other Western countries. Wheat is the primary cereal grain. Traditional American cuisine uses ingredients such as turkey, white-tailed deer venison, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, squash, and maple syrup, indigenous foods employed by Native Americans and early European settlers. Slow-cooked pork and beef barbecue, crab cakes, potato chips, and chocolate chip cookies are distinctively American styles. Soul food, developed by African slaves, is popular around the South and among many African Americans elsewhere. Syncretic cuisines such as Louisiana creole, Cajun, and Tex-Mex are regionally important. Characteristic dishes such as apple pie, fried chicken, pizza, hamburgers, and hot dogs derive from the recipes of various immigrants. French fries, Mexican dishes such as burritos and tacos, and pasta dishes freely adapted from Italian sources are widely consumed.[218] Americans generally prefer coffee to tea. Marketing by U.S. instries is largely responsible for making orange juice and milk ubiquitous breakfast beverages.[219] During the 1980s and 1990s, Americans' caloric intake rose 24%;[218] frequent dining at fast food outlets is associated with what health officials call the American "obesity epidemic." Highly sweetened soft drinks are widely popular; sugared beverages account for 9% of the average American's caloric intake
