* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
I have learned a lot through the fieldtrips. The course is really interesting and you get to travel with your classmates. During trips we would get a quiz to fill in, but it was more for the participation then grading. On the end of the course I need to write 2000 words essay and present a case study. |

Park Village 5D <br /><br /> The dorm is little bit older but it is in a very good shape. Cooking utilities, bed covers and pillow were there, so I did not have to purchase those things. Twice a week they would clean the dorm and once a week our romms. |

| Comments: | Class is very interesting and well thought. Trips with the class made the material tangible and more understandable. I participted more than I would in my home institution, becuase the class was small and we spend more out of classroom time with the classmaates and professor during field trips. |
