Ecole Normale Supérieure
Ecole Normale Supérieure, 45 rue d'Ulm, 75230 Paris cedex 05, France
Description:
The ENS covers a vast spectrum of academic disciplines in both the humanities and sciences. It does so within six humanities departments (Philosophy, History, Classics, Literature and Languages, Social Sciences, Geography) and six science departments (Pure and Applied Mathematics, Computing, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Land-Atmosphere-Ocean). In each of these departments, the activities of teaching and research are closely interlinked. The initial task of the Ecole, to form the teachers and professors of the future, remains its fundamental vocation; but this has significantly widened in recent times, and pupils now go on to a wide range of future careers.

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
I would like to suggest that we can have more lively time table or schedule; one session of class may be can carried out in 2 hours instead or 4 or 5 hours. This will help students to understand and absorp the materials better. Overally, the rest is nice and suitable.
