BS Electrical engineering Technology
I have good experience in university of Lahore
Covered a variety of material, but needs to dive deeper
The ease of access to courses and study materials were great. My professors were also great and willing to help whenever we needed it. I do wish there were more options (while I was there) to collaborate with peers remotely. Also, much of the course work was online quizzes, and while those did test our knowledge, it required only a blanket level knowledge of most of the material. I would have liked to learn more real-life examples of the material we learned.
My education
I had great experience doing my bachelor degree.
