In the United States, teaching is playing a very important role in society. If teachers do not teach well, students could complain about it to the administrative offices in the university. If many students do not understand, people think that the teacher does not do a good job. The teacher has big responsibility to make sure students understand.

That evaluation includes lots of aspects of teaching, such as explanation, preparation, using good examples, answering questions, and organization of classes. Students should be able to make objective judgment about the teacher.Students are supposed to read required textbooks and recommended books before class. With- out reading them, they will find it very difficult to understand the class. Basic courses on doing re- search and writing papers are taught at the beginning of the program. They teach things very concretely and clearly. Students are expected to apply what they have learned in classes to their studies.Classes are usually divided into a series of lectures and seminars (研讨会)There are some lecture classes, where the teacher just gives a lecture, and students ask questions at the end.
