Abstract

University education emphasizes on cultivating the transferable ability and professional knowledge and skills, with the former assuming more weight. The undergraduate tutorial system practiced in the European and American Universities is oriented to the core concept of cultivating students’ transferable ability through specialty studies. For this system to be introduced into China’s high education, the faculty and the students should reach consensus on the core concept first. Then, supporting mechanisms should be established such as the student screening system to lower the student-tutor ratio, streamlined class work, and the incentive-constraint mechanism, etc.
