My study experience

My overall study experience is on satisfying level. I really like about this university, that professors and colleges are kindly and helpful. On the other side, there is less of activites on the faculty, but it due the COVID-19 situation.
Not great, not terrible
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
Overall it wasnt as bad as I thaught it might be.. But I dont want to study in Slovakia anymore. The way some teachers teach is, is pretty old and concentrated at memorising stuff. I have good grades, 1,47 to be exact. I found love and pleasure in automation studies, aspecially Arduino!
Fun
