  1. Pre Departure Orientation 2010 June 16th, 2010

  2. The American Classroom Culture

  3. The American Classroom Culture Punctuality Homework Placement Exams Syllabus Grading System Office Hours Student-Teacher Relationship Cooperation/Competition Resources Plagiarism

  4. Punctuality Nos EUA, pontualidade é indispensável Sempre chegue 5 minutos mais cedo Aulas com muitos alunos, um certo atraso é aceito (+90 alunos)

  5. Homework Prestar atenção nos deadlines Cuidado com plágio Cooperation-Competition Curves Pedir ajuda a outros alunos é normal, mas nem sempre a resposta é sim Sharing notes, “homework parties”

  6. Syllabus Consulte o syllabus regularmente para ficar a par do que vai ser dito em sala de aula É um “contrato” Ajuda a planejar o seu programa de estudos

  7. Grading System

  8. Office Hours Help with homework, projects, etc Good way to get to know your teacher – potential for getting involved with research or asking for a recommendation letter Does it really help? YES! Review sessions

  9. Student-Teacher Relationship The code of social behavior between the student and Professor is not as precisely defined in the U.S. as in other countries. Always address teachers as either “Professor” or “Doctor” unless otherwise instructed TAs should be called by their first names. Some Asians with “complicated” names ask to be called by their nicknames. Check all the materials the professor makes available online. You can find extra problem sets, lecture notes, lecture slides, and so much more!

  10. Resources Writing Center Career Services Gym Recreation Center Clubs Counseling Center Library Office Hours University Clinic

  11. Plagiarism – Act of Presenting Someone Else’s Work or Ideas as Your Own Mais do que CTRL C+CRTL V Rewording é plágio Citar uma fonte sem dar o crédito e a fonte é plágio Copiar o dever de casa é plágio Tudo é plágio APA, MLA, Chicago...

  12. The Intercultural Experience

  13. Culture Shock Diferentes pessoas, diferentes reações Duas dimensões: choque com a cultura local e choque com as culturas de todos os estudantes internacionais Exemplos: Berea (8%), Harvard (9%), Purdue (6%), Grinnell (10%), etc

  14. O ChoqueInicial Alunos de todos os países: Coréia (do Sul), Índia, China, Emirados Árabes Unidos, Costa Rica, etc Culturas, religiões, hábitos e valores diferentes Respeito Interesse Discrição

  15. 1ª fase: Honeymoon State A vida é bela! Os EUA são o melhor país do mundo! Pode durar 1 mês, 6 meses ou até 3 anos! Mas tudo que é bom acaba...

  16. 2ª fase: A crise do Casamento Midterms, essays, projects e homeworks desgastam a relação De repente, as pequenas coisas começam a irritar… Homesickness Infelizmente, não há terapia de casal para esse caso, mas passa

  17. 3ª Fase: Aceitação Uma mistura da 1ª e 2ª fase Depende da pessoa Conhecimento da cultura americana e das regras sociais Incorpora-se a cultura americana à própria cultura Volta ao Brasil torna-se um choque talvez ainda maior que o choque com os EUA

  18. O Que é a Cultura Americana? Individualismo Respeito Independência Bom humor Otimismo Diversidade Ambição Etnocentrismo

  19. Managing Your Time
