ACADEMIC
by Mualla, Hanover College, Hanover, IN, United States
European Studies, University Agreement
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
"Independent study" is the key word here. You don't have as many papers/tests/quizes/presentations as you do in the US, so you have to research on your own to get the most out of this educational experience.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
Having one single exam at the end of the semestre to shape your grade for the course was a little scary since i didn't know what to expect. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

To people who study Advertising and PR, there weren't many subjects in ENglish available. But people who studied other fields (specially Law), had no prolem at all!

don't settle with what the teachers say. go course "shoping" and choose acording to what your home university requires. add some more that you enjoy, even if they don't belong in your official degree.

Try to get as much info as possible beforehand. Students do not evaluate the difficulty of the course very well and their views are missleading.

The organization of information delivering could be much more improved. The website of the university is a mess and you do not get too many info about manuals, courses, etc which is very annoying. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
