Course recommendations
Don´t look at the level, the difficulty of a course doesn´t have anything to do with this. Some of level 1 are harder than level 3 courses.

Course recommendations
One way of improving the quality of MA courses would be to offer separate graduate courses rather than giving the same courses to undergraduates and graduates. In addition, even though the TOFEL score is rather high, some students still struggled to reach an academic level of English. Perhaps a more inclusive English-test could be an option.

Personal comments
I would suggest a better way of making sure that all courses have the same standard and quality - some did really not measure up to graudate level while a very few were really good.
