indian classroom vs american classroom

[coffee]

What was the biggest cultural difference, academic strategy, or skills you lacked when you first arrived?

I don't know how to operate a Texas Instruments calculator, but my matlab skills seemed ok, while my C programming knowledge was pretty basic. competent in verilog. can produce documents in Word using various fonts and templates.

Today's students, in my opinion, have awful MS Office abilities, absolutely no knowledge of programming, and can't even click an external link that has been put into a word document. Zero interest or abilty to write academically.

When I first came, I was ok with MATLAB, VHDL, and C Programming skills. I was actually good with Algorithms and Math. The current generation is a bit more laid back I guess. American classroom has a commercial aspect to them that I never noticed back home or maybe I was too young and naive, that is, they treat college as an investment. Considering the student loans and 6-8% interest gives them the motivation to be successful in at least STEM students.

Also, in India, I never found any Part-time/fulltime working students with families, in the US it is a common sighting.

One little thing that irks me is total lack of higher-math skills when they come to university. There are some exceptions, however, depending on the state and schools. The majority of the students come to the University with very basic math and science under their belt. Most of them start with  algebra and take 4 sem of maths to start major courses in Engineering. Unlike Indian students who start of with math 1, is calc-III.

నా education మొత్తం మా చిన్న town లో అయిపోయింది…ఒక్క intermediate మాత్రం నెల్లూరులో చదివా…

MCA కి మా ఫ్రండ్స్ అందరూ chennai లో జాయిన్ అవుతుంటే నేను కూడా వాళ్ళతో వెళ్ళి చెన్నై జయా కాలేజ్ లో జాయిన్ అయ్యా …admission fee కట్టి రెండు రోజులు క్లాసులకి వెళ్ళా…అప్పుడర్దమైంది చెన్నై లో చదవడం కూడా  expensive అని…రెండు రోజులకి తిరిగి ఇంటికి వచ్చేసా…మా ఊర్లో ఏదో అప్పుడే ప్రయివేట్ PG కాలేజ్ పెట్టారు…వాడి దెగ్గర మాత్రమే సీట్స్ ఉన్నాయి (మిగిలిపోయినవి)…అక్కడ చేరా…

faculty అంత గొప్పగా ఉండేది కాదు…లెక్చరర్స్ స్టూడెంట్స్ కి లైన్ ఏసే వాళ్ళు…కాకపోతే ల్యాబ్, లైబ్రరి మటుకు పెద్దవి ఖాలీగా ఉండేవి…నెమ్మదిగా ఆ ల్యాబ్ లో కంప్యూటర్‌లు బిగించేవాడు, లైబ్రేరియన్ ఫ్రెండ్స్ అయ్యారు…నాకు education loan ఇచ్చిన బ్యాంక్ మేనేజర్ యముడైయ్యాడు…so అలా జరిగిపోయింది నా education ఇండియాలో…

Dont generalize all students 

mandi ekkuvaithe majjiga paluchana ante 

bad students also coming to us now 

there are good talented people in every generation 

even good colleges are there from 1980s in andhra and telangana but engineering colleges okkasariga 2004 ki 100 ayyayi 2014 ki 700 ayyayi 

first 50 colleges are producing even better students than 20 yrs back
