Guest guest Posted December 27, 2001 Report Share Posted December 27, 2001 Doug, I agree with you about the school system. Right now I have to admit I take advantage of it, because the pace of the classes lets me have time to work and conduct a social life and garden, all of which I like. But it took me a while to get used to the type of classes we had. Often, a teacher is reading directly out of a textbook, either in Chinese or in English. There are no reading assignments, and no use of varied textbooks (that I am aware of) to present different points of view. I attended 3 junior colleges and 3 universities before going to graduate school. Some of the classes in junior college were presented in a livelier, more interactive style. Not that I do not believe in my teachers, because when we are in clinic I can see that they are proficient in what they do. But the classes increase my liver qi stagnation too. I hear that the school I'm attending is one of the better schools, so perhaps it is just the case that a good clinician is not necessarily a gifted teacher. I am very grateful to this discussion group, because it has opened my eyes to many subjects that don't come up, and has given me a scholarly standard to aspire to. The subjects that are discussed revive my enthusiasm and pique my curiousity. I loike feeling like there's a never ending road (like B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One missed class is acceptable, that's it. A 2nd and 3rd absence gets you're grade lowered each time. (According to the handbook, a meeting with the teacher is mandatory possibly with tutoring or a special project as a result.) Miss 4 classes and you are withdrawn and must retake the class.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 Why would you want to miss class anyway? I asked a friend of mine in medical school if he skipped class. He replied by saying “What will I tell my patient?
