More comparisons between the Chinese and Western university system from Stian HÃ¥klev. This post looks at different models of university instruction, comparing the 'artist' model that defines some institutional models in the west, with the alternative 'artisan' model that defines many in the Chinese system. "An artisan is skilled at what he or she does, but it can be learnt. He or she may work alone or together with a group of people towards a well-defined goal. The most important aspect is that the final product is improvable, it can be tested and evaluated, and it can be improved upon."
