not only accepted but also expected by the students in many courses.Some professors base part of the final grades on the students’ oral participation.Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (i.e.listening and taking notes)，many courses are organized around classroom discussions，student questions，and informal lectures.In graduate discussions the professor had a “manager” role and the students make presentations and lead discussions.The students do the actual teaching in these discussions.A professor’s teaching method is another factor that determines the degree and type of student participation.Some professors prefer to control discussions while others prefer to guide the class without controlling it.Many professors encourage students to question their ideas.Students who object to the professor’s point of view should be prepared to prove their positions.In the teaching of science and mathematics，the controlling mode of instruction is generally traditional，with teachers presenting formal lectures and students taking notes.However，new educational trends have turned up in the humanities and social sciences in the past twenty years.Students in education，society，and history classes，for example，are often required to solve problems in groups，design projects，make presentations，and examine case studies.Since some college or university courses are “practical”rather than theoretical，they pay more attention to “doing” for themselves.1．“Student participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected by the students” in ________

according to the passage?A ．Student participation is not common in many courses like society and history classes.B ．Some professors want to control the classroom discussions.C ．Some students are wanted to attend the lecture of science and mathematics.D ．New educational trends have turned up in the teaching of natural sciences such as chemistry.1．Therefore ，it wasn ’t until October 26 that
