Interaction with international students
Interaction with local students
Personal comments
Teachers should give out mroe handouts for the exchange students; they jsut speak in classes and you ahve to write your own notes to study from, and it is extremely difficult, especially at first, to get the right notes down. Something shoudl be given to the students to study from. The other students and I just made friends with the locals and photocopied their notes at the end so we had some reliable information to study.
