Yes you're right, the difficulty of US schools varies greatly. Some schools are easy but their programs don't really have good reputation & their rankings are not that good. Sometimes there are too many grad students & nerds in your course, so the professor won't curve the grade.

From my experience, I think education in US is easy because of their system that counts everything that I do in the whole semester..that forced me to keep paying attention to the courses, do my all my work on time and always be ready for exam. Contrary to education in some other countries, I know some friends who don't study and leave their assignment till the end of semester and in the final 2-3 weeks, they suffer so bad with book and papers all around their rooms.

That's the matriculation format. When I did my G12 in Canada, that was the format but with different percentage When i went to university sama sama, except no marks for attendance and 1 or 2 midterm exams

been to 2 diff US Uni.. so far none of them include attendance. most prof I know of treat students are adult. wouldn't penalize ppl for not coming to class.
in fact I don't see any typical grading policy. kinda misleading with those % breakdown.

% allocations varies widely from Prof to Prof.
its just a mix of homework, projects, exams (take home or in-class), quiz etc.
some prof curve, others don't, while others state in their syllabus they don't but eat their words and do it in the end to make fewer/more ppl get As.

Usually only language classes have marks for attendance.

In my uni students answers in class quizzes using clickers(or simply remote control for those who don't know). The right/wrong answers doesn't matter, but answering it indicates that you're attending the class so u won't get penalized. And MOST professors requires students to submit in class problems. If you don't go to class, then you'll definitely lose some points. For lab activities, the lab note must me submitted after the lab & students must present their experiment result in the lab to verify that they did things in the right way. Sometimes the professors want students to write a feedback for all their group mates, so if you skip classes to often they people will write shit things about you and it will affect your grade. Of course if you go to silly university then everything is easier.

Maybe in universities where the learning is all from lectures, no activities, then skipping lectures won't cause grade penalty.

Don't be too harsh by saying the % breakdown is misleading. I wrote it to tell people how they require students to give commitments to all class activities/assignments in order to get good grade. Grading policy may vary depending on the professor..but I'm just trying to say that in US, it's very rare to find courses that give too much grades from the final exam/assignments (such as 100% from the final exam, or 50% final report + 50% final exam). There are courses that only count 1-2 exams for the final grade, but typically they are silly (and easy) 1-2 credit elective courses.

need some help here

One of the requirement to be submit to the US uni (mostly) :

"Academic records should bear the original stamp or seal of the school official responsible for issuing such records, such as the registrar or controller of exams for that institution. Faxed, scanned, and notarized copies are not considered official. Records certified by lecturers, professors, or any other school officials who do not hold primary responsibility for maintaining the academic records of the institution will not be accepted. "

problem:
i communicated with my previous uni, and they told me no such thing of sending off new transcripts because they only provide 1 for each student. I've talked to one of rep from USA uni (USA edu fair at hilton hotel), they dont accept any copies of scroll or transcripts with certified true copy. plus he told me that University should know this practice...oooo i'm am sooo blurred...

seniors do help me!!!

@HMB
They only give 1 transcript? In my case, the 1st transcript i get is free. And then if i need more (to apply for colleges and stuff), i need to fill out a form and pay for it. They will prepare the number of transcripts i require and inform me when its done, then i go collect them.

yeah only one....arrghhh...stupid!!!

how come they dun even know the process..!!!!

Pittsburg State University - GMAT req 400 thats super easy to get. 1yr program shorter than most US conventional MBA program
cheap at US$13k+
http://www.pittstate.edu/affordability/costs.dot

Cleveland State University - also 1 yr.. GMAT only at 25 percentile!! thats super easy to get too! my guess it ain't that expensive right?
interesting stats.
http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/01/fu...clevelandst.htm

University of Wisconsin-La Crosse -- isn't that a evening program? how long does it take to grad? website kinda BS.. only accredited ACCSB in the region. the region must be tiny! Uni of Wisconsin-madison is also accredited.
http://www.uwlax.edu/ba/graduate/mba_prog.htm

Missouri State University- another Uni like Pittsburg State University easy to get in and cheap and fast.
http://mba.missouristate.edu/63314.htm

University of Missouri – Kansas City --- higher req GMAT 450 to 740. also a 1 yr program. cost a bit more ~US$16K
http://www.bloch.umkc.edu/graduate/mba/index.aspx

what to comment... might as well do Wariwick online perhaps as cheap as above but more reputable maybe by a good mile (not yard)

Hi.. I want to ask something... USA have diploma programme or not?

kinda..

@xpole
If by diploma you mean an Associate Degree, which u can get within 2 years, then yes

anyone know how to study in harvard..?
what's da requirement for Bsc in Computing Science..
I've check it out on its site, seems like confusing..
I'm not really understand on their requirement..

To be blunt, from your posting, you don't seem to be Harvard material. But in case I'm wrong, follow the people who did this blog, they may have another session this year.

don't seem to be harvard material..?
why..?
btw.. thnks for da link..

First up improve your English if you want to study in Harvard ^^" and though you want to study in Harvard you are relying on other people to help you gain more info instead of doing further research on the matter to improve your understanding ^^"

This two things already shows that you are not Harvard Material.Prove me wrong if you can.
