ACADEMIC
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
The level at my highschool was better. Just donīt go to courses.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
This university claims to be "the oxford" of southern europe, but the faculty of letters is terrible. Teachers donīt show up, exams are groupwork (teachers walks out of the class during the exam), students are not motivated (i, an erasmus student was the only one in a class of 40 who made is homework!), teachers donīt show up and if they show up they donīt teach. Eleven computers for 5000 students. Come on, close the place. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
