The theacers are the worst you'll ever meet. They grade you as they want and they don't give any feedback at all. If you ask for the feedback they will start acting like they are entitled to do anything to you because they are superior. The grading and feedback are so so bad that all the teachers are giving you only one sentence of feedback and everyone gets their grade in the same range of 60-70 ( B1). And when I say everyone, I say thay we are around 60 people taking some of the modules. I didn't learn anything from them. They are just playing and like the sound of the word "teacher". The library doesn't have enough material to support your essays and you need to buy your own stuff and afyer spending lots on books you still get a 50-60. Just because they can. Everything in this university is not fair! All they care is money and how to kill your creativity in order to become a sheep which will not speak out their mistakes. read more
