Abstract: This paper presents the experiences and observations of a Taiwanese scholar teaching engineering students in Norway for\none semester. Many important cultural differences were found both in terms of student behaviour and academic practices.\nThis qualitative study focuses in particular on the teacher’s formal meeting with the students in the classroom, informal\nmeetings with the students outside the classroom and examination practices. The observations presented here can give\nEastern educators a better insight into the current educational situation in Northern Europe. Moreover, the observations\ncan also be useful to North European educators as an observer’s view of current educational practices.
