After my stay for an exchange semester I finally came to a conclusion.
It started with a lot of technical difficulties during the application process.
Furthermore they tell you what courses they offer to you beforehand, but they do not tell you if you are able to join that course or not until you get to the step of choosing a course.
Therefore I ended up in a course I absolutely did not like, that course is called IMEM or Creative Business.
To the teachers I can only say most of their courses can be done without them, there are multiple reasons for that, but I just felt they were, except one or two, lack luster and just there doing nothing. During their courses they were either reading from their slides or giving you a task to complete and then get feedback from the other students. To get a passing grade was not really a challenge, but somehow a lot of people still failed or barely passed most of the courses.
I like the concept of working in Teams, but except for a few courses you were forced to do your assignmentsin Teams, which means if you get some desinterested or lazy people in your team your grade suffers under them. Even in some courses it was stated even though you have to work in teams, your grades will be assigned individually, but that rarely happened.
The mentality of the people in my class is also not understandable, because they just want to pass at their first try and then want to do a redo if their grades are barely passing. Why don't they just try a bit harder the first time?
The list goes on, but I think I made my point clear and all in all there was not a single thing I liked about that school.
