In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
It is a very good university with its own study methods. Courses are examined by means of several tests and quizzes throughout the semester. Personally, I think that one exam or project will be sufficient for examination, which will result in a better overview of the objectives of the course.
