Opis

Why Chinese international students are facing academic difficulties in American higher education? This is an urgent question to be answered because the population of Chinese international students flocking to American higher education will continue to grow in the recent future. Under this circumstance, studying causation of the challenges that Chinese students are confronting in an American university is extremely urgent. The author found that Chinese students' poor academic performance and other misconduct in the U.S. should be traced back to students' preparation phase from home.
