Course recommendations
There are two weeks at the beginning of the semester during which it is possible to go to every courses in order to choose the ones we will follow after. It is really important to go to EVERY courses during those weeks to make one own opinion about the class. Indeed subjects can appear interesting but they are not really in reality and vice versa.
