In European universities, students are not required to attend classes. In fact, professors in Germany generally do not
know the names of the students enrolled in their courses. In the United States, however, students are required to attend
all classes and may be penalized if they do not. Furthermore, in the European system, there is usually just one
comprehensive examination at the end of the students' entire four or five years of study. In the American system, on the
other hand, there are usually numerous quizzes, texts, and homework assignments, and there is almost always a final
examination in each course at the end of the semester.

For example, the Eskimos, living in a treeless region of snow and ice, sometimes build temporary homes out of thick
blocks of ice. People who live in deserts, on the other hand, use the most available material, mud or clay, which provides
good insulation from the heat. In Northern Europe, Russia and other areas of the world where forests are plentiful,
people usually construct their homes out of wood. In the islands of the South Pacific, where there is a plentiful supply of
bamboo and palm, people use these tough, fibrous plants to build their home.
