Course recommendations

All the classes are small (max 30 persons). This makes a good atmosphere and a good dialog with the theachers and among students.

Personal comments

Everything depends on what subjects I took. I specially liked how my programming course (C++) was organized. A good class: -has a good theacher -has essays and projects in groups and individually a few times each semester -is theached with creativity: It means disussions of different cases, quizes, TV, ineractive media shows etc UCR could be better in some of this aspects!!

Course recommendations

There are only a few courses offered every semester - all of them hands-on. Classes take place in the rainforest, on boats, visiting villages, observing birds, catching butterflies, interviewing people - it's an amazing way to learn! You have to be willing to sweat a bit, but it's absolutely worth it!
