Course recommendations

Choose four courses if you can - there really isn't a huge workload.

Personal comments

Overall, if a student doesn't want to study, he'll still get his/her degree. The level of exigency is not high enough - the workload is not high enough to ensure you actually learn something, and you're not taught basic things in life, like meeting delays.
