Personal comments

I attended courses in english and in latvian. At my home university in sweden i have attended a lot of courses in english so I feel sequre with the language. Latvian on the other hand i usually use just for speaking and writing letters, but i did not have any dificulties following the courses. It was a good experience that boosted my self-esteem.

Course recommendations

could have been a better variation of political courses, sometimes the courses overlapped and had the same kind of study plan.

Quality of courses

Variety of courses

Access to resources

Interaction with teachers

Interaction with international students

Interaction with local students

Personal comments

I would apreciate more papers during the course instead of a big paper in the end. Having all exames in one period of time is not good when it becomes quite stressful.

My opinion of the university assessment

Exams at end of course

Exams throughout the course

Essays and/or projects at the end of course

Essays and/or projects throughout the course
