semester, teachers would hand out the teaching plan and corresponding reading list to the students. The students could download the detailed

teaching plan for each period from the online learning system for their preview and overview according to the flow of the course. They said that

their campus life was very colorful due to the various activities hold by the exchange students from around the world. But no matter how busy they were in campus life, the students would put their study at the first place. The seats in the 24-hour study room in the library were usually

fully occupied, and many students studied like crazy only sleeping three or four hours each day. Each member of the delegation was deeply

impressed by the devoted teachers, the mature teaching management model and the high level of internationalization there.
