Satisfaction with the Overseas Education in China: A Survey on 44 Institutions of Higher Learning in Jiangsu Province
In order to fully grasp the service level, management quality and effectiveness of the overseas education in China, a satisfaction survey was carried out on 44 institutions of higher learning in Jiangsu province from 5 dimensions of school learning, school life, school administration, surrounding environment, and urban civility and environment. Findings include 1. Students’ nationality: students from Asia and Africa are the most while students from Oceania are the least; 2. Student category: more than 1/3 of overseas students are Chinese language students, but overseas students in Jiangsu province have a higher level of matriculate quality and educational pursuit, for those pursuing a higher education degree at the bachelor’s, the master’s and the doctoral level have reached an accumulative 60% of all; 3. The overall student satisfaction is above average, with a significant difference between different colleges and universities within Jiangsu province. Satisfaction with surrounding environment gets the highest score, but dissatisfaction of a certain degree occurs with library, website construction, hostel accommodation, other school facilities and services, and urban civility and environment. As is revealed by the investigation, 70.45% of students respond that their college or university does not have a canteen exclusive for overseas students; 4. There is a significant difference in overall satisfaction and satisfaction with each of the 5 assessment dimensions between different categories of students; 5. A multiple linear regression model shows that the overall accountability is 98.8% on the 11 assessment parameters in the dimensions of school learning and school life (curriculum, teacher, school system, teaching facilities, library, website construction, hostel accommodation, canteen catering, entertainment & sports activities, student affairs and services, and other school facilities and services). Suggestions are as follows: 1. “Foreign language prompts and guidance” are the topmost demand of overseas students in China; 2. The basic living conditions for overseas students should be improved; 3. The international service level of educational administrative employees should be raised; 4. The construction of school library and a portal website should be made to better meet the practical needs of overseas students; 5. The disparity in the overseas education between different colleges and universities in Jiangsu province should be narrowed and a standardized management highlighted. Keywords: Overseas education in China; overall satisfaction; multiple linear regression model; international service level
2,2′-(Butane-1,4-diyl)diisoquinolinium tetrachloridozincate(II)
The crystal of the title compound, (C22H22N2)[ZnCl4], consists of 2,2′-(butane-1,4-diyl)diisoquinolinium organic cations and [ZnCl4]2− complex anions. The cation is located across a twofold axis and the ZnII atom of the anion is located on the other twofold axis. The centroid–centroid distance between parallel pyridine rings of neighboring molecules is 3.699 (3) Å, but the face-to-face separation of 3.601 (3) Å suggests there is no significant π–π stacking in the crystal structure
3-(Benzimidazolium-2-yl)propionate dihydrate
In the crystal struture of the title compound, C10H10N2O2·2H2O, the component species are linked to the water molecules by N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional network structure
