Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
NTU classes have an easier grading scale, an 85 gets you an A-. Classes are lecture based and not discussion based, students with questions usually wait until break time to ask. Classes are usually held all in one sitting, ex: a four unit class will be from 1-5PM on monday and thats it. Many general Ed courses must be taken in serries which could lead to awkward situations: ex: Econ100 is only offered in Fall and Econ101 is only offered in Spring. |
