Forum Trends: Is the West's education better than China's?

Having taught in a Chinese university for years and attended an American university for a course or two, I'd say it has more to do with the way of teaching rather than the hours. The American students take the reading list required for the course real seriously, and participate rigorously. The Chinese students try their best to pretend they have read one or two books, and their teachers often hesitate about flunking them for they are instructed explicitly not to flunk too many for the same course. So it may be quite a big deal to get admitted to the college, but once you are in, you are pretty much all set for your diploma 4 years later, unless you are found plagiarizing or poisoning your roommate.
