Course recommendations:
The teachers and the staff are very helpful and friendly. You can go to the computer room even on weekendds, and also use the multimedia lab when you need it. teacher interaction in Finland is very easy going , that is very nice.

Personal comments:
The institute of technology has a somewhat small choice of subjects taught in Englishbut there is a wider choice at the nearby business school. It would be great if more topics in english were added. Also, the school has some foreign language courses they could open also for foreign students. Overall, it is very good that they provide education in English.

Course recommendations:
that the courses are arrangend before we arrive here (because of the learning angreement the school should know how many students are in which course, so there should be space for everybody-->please form the different groups before the period begins)

Personal comments:
to let people work with whom they want-->a lot of problems otherwise to coordinate things because of different cultures....

Course recommendations:
in my personal case i had to take all of the courses (DIME) as a package and could not choose. therefore i had to study some stuff which is completely different to what i do at home.but i think that's more a lack of flexibilty of my home uni. we had lots of foreign teachers, and most of them are really professionals, and not teachers in their "normal lives"

Course recommendations:
My courses were good but the level and what we have learnt was not so much

Personal comments:
I think it is a completely different way to teach student that in my country because it is the student who whorks but in one side I think that it is better for them. We have a lot of theorical courses but not so much practical in my country and this is a good point here

Course recommendations:
for my studies there was just one lecture held in english ... i did my practical training here, so it was no problem, but i think it would be important to improve this part of the departement.

Personal comments:
lectures held in english!

Course recommendations:
DIME course, just exchange students, different levels of skills, because students studied normally at different areas, so the courses started with beginner level

Personal comments:
course offer also for advanced students in english

Course recommendations:
the communication between students and teachers is quite well and the form of discussion is good for us.

Personal comments:
it will be better if teachers give more chances to students to talk.

Course recommendations:
could be better choice of courses, but in the other hand the courses in english are made much more interesting especialy for exchange students, so many excursions :O)

Course recommendations:
nope, since I was doing a project and not attending any courses...

Personal comments:
It's a cultural level, so there's much improvement to be done at the university...

Course recommendations:
The level was quite low. Ok, studying is not so important on an exchange. But i would have appreciated a bit more challange.

The teacher of HTML and PHP course,Mr. Markku Komminaho has been the worst teacher which I have ever had.I thing if somebody has papers for teaching full of mistakes and if he isn`t possible and ready to explain what about is he speaking he shouldn`t teach programing. Because almost nobody understand what is PHP, how does it work,how to write php code and what does it mean, what I am now writing. For most of students it was something total different then what they have never done.And Mr.Komminaho wasn`t ready to explain anything, he just sID that we should rewrite it to our computers from projector and see what it will do.If somebody ask for explaining what does that code exactly mean he said that he explain it later, but he didn`t do that. I thing it was only waste of time. But other courses was quite good, especialy video and photoshop courses was realy great.

change the teacher of HTML, CSS and PHP! I could teach this better, and when I'm saying this, I mean it seriously, because I have already learned these type of courses. How can good teacher said: "Many students asked me this, but I don't know" Sorry, if somebody ask me something, and I'm a teacher or lecturer, I will find it out. To forward this information to my students. And when I have 8 hours of time to teach, I try to use them on maximum, not just sitting there and from time to time change the slide. I do not know the name of this teacher, I do not care. This course was the greatest disappointment for me (and not only me!)

Personal comments:
- choise of more sources - change the teaching methods of some teachers, or change the teacher

Course recommendations:
DIME course is very good, but the Internet Enironment should have better teacher.

No

Course recommendations:
Be sure it is arranged well and you will fit in the group. In our case, we came in the middle of several courses, eg. Finnish, this was already going for 8 weeks, so no course for us.

Personal comments:
Arrange it yourself, don't let your teachers at your home institute arrange it. They don't know the situation...

Course recommendations:
It's ok if you want to enjoy social life

Very relaxfull, very good interaction with the teachers.

Personal comments:
Well, overall, the finnish people don't speak that well english, but this thing cannot be changed. We understand each other, no problem, but sometimes it's a bit tricky :).

Course recommendations:
There was just one course instructured in Englisch for my field of study and this was the English Course. So studying in Oulu was a little bit disappointing for me, because I would have liked to see how seminars, lectures etc. are done in Finland.
