I expected to improve my English but it is worse. They do not speak good English. It is a barrier to a good academic instruction.

Academic

Course recommendations

the courses are various, well composed with interesting names. Unfortunately, most of the teachers cannot teach. Some are fresh grads that dont have direct expreriences and real understanding of the subject matters. If you ever want to join ABAC, please do not consider Communication Arts (I was in Advertising).
