Abstract

This paper provides a brief comparative review of the university classroom experience in the People’s Republic of China and the United States with a particular emphasis on the way in which the Chinese university classroom experience differs from that of the United States. The review draws to a large degree upon writer’s personal experience in both American and Chinese university classrooms. The paper is divided into three sections, the first of which focuses upon the liberal arts classroom experience with the second section focusing upon science and technology classroom experience. The final section offers several recommendations for making the classroom experience in Chinese universities more attractive to American University students.
