there are differences between the ways and the purpose of using the network resources sharing courses for different ethnic and professional students. The main reason may be related to the different professional nature and the quality of the network resource

also lack of effective supervision and evaluation system

suggesting that our school network resource sharing curriculum management department should strengthen the supervision and evaluation

give full play to the important role of network resource sharing courses
