| Well it has been a long time. I should finish this posting so some of you out there might be able to use it. The lowdown on TUST, To be honest when I left Tianjin and TUST I was very down on the place. I had worked my first two years in Liaoning and thought that it was the bee's knees. Well, after coming back here I realize that all Chinese Uni's seem to be about the same. Nothing good, nothing bad. If you do not mind flying blind, not being included in ANY meetings for staff < and to be honest you don't want to go, they are not talking about students or education, they are talking about stupid projects to make the universities look better in the eyes of Beijing> If you like to have no guidance, and you do not mind living in a chemical factory polluted suburb of Tianjin, I say, hey why not. This is another dime in the dozen in China. You will not get any special feelings, or support, but you will get paid on time and if you actually have the plane ticket home they will give you an airfare reembursement. I have been teaching in China for 4 years. It is all shades of the same grey, I would love to make a career out of this, but the problem is that most of us educated in education would like to take part in the actual process on many levels, but we are not welcome to do this in these type of universities. If you are on vacation, then this is an ok option. On a scale of one to ten, I would give it a 7. |
