Apparemment, nous avons
les mêmes réactions des deux côtés,
c'est-à dire que la pluspart des élèves demandent
une explication au prof.

Cette similitude des réponses
montre que les élèves ont plutôt confiance
en leurs profs des deux côtés de l'Atlantique.

I agree that the responses
were similar, almost everyone deciding to go talk to the professor.
However, on the French side, some people decided to accept the
wrong grade. Does this indicate a greater respect of authority
(professors)?

I do not know if it is
a greater respect for authority or if it could be that we are
more likely to challenge authority if we think it is wrong. I
don't think that I am showing disrespect by questioning a potential
mistake.

I actually think it is
surprisingly easy to make a professor change your grade here.
Especially in smaller classes professors tend to be quite flexible.
How is it at INT? Does it help to talk to the professors?

In some of the classes
I took, if the prof graded a correct answer wrong, he will obviously
give me back the points, but if he graded a wrong question right,
he will not take away the points. I found that very much to my
advantage, while not being quite a fair measure from prof's point
of view. Do you guys have any profs like that?

I noticed that Americans
seem to be bigger grade-grubbers than the French are. This may
come from us being more self-defensive or us liking to argue.
I think that Americans seem to be very competitive-- so competitive
that they would negotiate with a professor for a better grade.
Hey why not? You can only get a better grade!

Maybe this arguing attitude
for getting a better mark should be correlated to the anwers the
two sides gave on 'bon parent-bon enfant' sections, because it
seems to me the French parents try to teach their kids how to
deal with the rules of society, how to behave, while here in the
US it's more important to obey you parents... so maybe this could
be a starting point for a more combative attitude of the americans
in front of a prof.

Détrompes toi Harald,chez nous, en France les proffesseurs ne sont pas duppes et savent quand nous trichons et nous punissent sévèrement.Vous,les americains avez tendance à trouver la vie trop facile.Ici,si on triche au BAC,on ne peut passer aucun examen durant 5 ans.Mais ne pensez pas que l'on vous en veuille car nous voulons seulement vous informer de la difficulté des études en France.
SALUT !
