Academics

College here is so much different! Everyone takes three classes, no more, no less and it’s typically held once a week. With some lectures, you also have a seminar once a week. Now, I haven’t had class yet, so this is just from what I’ve been told: Grades are based on two or three evaluations- papers or exams usually. The system is based heavily on independent learning. They don’t tell you what chapter to have read or how far along you should be, that’s your own responsibility. You’re really only evaluated towards the end of the semester, which is apparently when everyone starts to go nuts.
