Personal comments

I am sure that I the academic life I experienced was unfortunate and did not truely represent the University. This is not due to quality issues but rather during my year long exchange there was an academic teaching strike which closed down the campus for 13 weeks and threatened the academic year. As such I had no lessons during this period, no assessment and had to rely on my own motivation to pass. Several of my freinds had to repeat the year or failed upon returning to their home institution due to this experience

My opinion of the university assessment

Exams at end of course

Exams throughout the course

Essays and/or projects at the end of course

I loved the music and relaxed social scene of Toronto. Grossmans was an amazing bar to check out local jazz/rock/blues and the gypsy co-op had a cool vibe.
