Course recommendations

(This review is on MM UGM)There are not that many courses I was allowed to take with my background in the Netherlands. Also, for many courses a minimum of 5 international students have to take the course (otherwise it will not be teached in english). The focus of most courses is more on quantity rather than quality

My academic experiences

Quality of courses

Variety of courses

Access to resources

Interaction with teachers

Interaction with international students

Interaction with local students

Personal comments

(1)focus more on quality (2)no papers at the end of the course,students should be able to concentrate on the exams. (3) It should be allowed to miss 1 or 2 lectures without a reduction of your grade (all international students shared the opinion that it was annoying not being able to plan a trip longer than the weekend). (4)The university should actively look for fraud an plagiarism

My opinion of the university assessment

Exams at end of course

Exams throughout the course

Essays and/or projects at the end of course

Essays and/or projects throughout the course
