KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.

Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
The UK study is very different from Thailand. The teacher does not teach much. It seems like that I did not get a little knowledge from the class. I need to read the rest which is provided on University's on-line resources.
