... hopefully after this short but informative overview of what is in the last 3 months all done, it gets serious. The semester at the University of the Sunshine
The USC is one of the youngest universities in Australia. It belongs in this country but also to the universities with rapid growth. With about 5,000 students, of which about 900 international (I computed), USC is a relatively small university. Australia wide it has the largest library and is generally on the cutting edge of technology, which has earned it one way or another award.
main building
There is a lot of things from good old Germany ( short: GOG) differ .
Let's start with the lectures. It is not unusual when the professors teaching a hot start Playing records, such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Linkin Park or any other band. I guess the fact that the people should be relaxed, which worked out pretty well.
addition is many a lecture requires a quiz round, and that works this way: "stand up please everyone," ... the quiz question is asked (of course, technical), "each of the answer do not know your re-sit," ... question to question is in this form continues until only two or three students are available. As a reward they will receive a candy bar. For safety and comfort as I always take my own chocolate bar with the lecture.
acquires beginning of the semester each student a prescribed text book per course (from the University Bookshop Acquire $$$$$).
The course takes about 55 minutes, training sessions for 120 min (I think, 55 minutes little better I think here the German system).
weekly papers that are graded are to be delivered at a scientific level and on time.
group presentations and a final paper per course complete the whole.
intermediate exams are already a month after the semester begins and a final written exam concludes the semester.
In short, the stress of a study last month before the exams in GoG all, one already from the first week (if that does what I see at the end of the semester).
we come to the technical equipment. Devices such as digital overhead projectors, optical controlled whiteboards, and computer labs (open 24 / 7 access via student ID) are here for good sound. Some of these things have been new to me.
On PC and Unix consultancy :-)
particular interest here is the printing system. After having charged his ID card, you normally send print jobs to a printer. Then you go to designated printing stations, logs in with his user name, select their print jobs and sends it to the printer ready. You can also copy with the same ID card. In practice, right?
Campus
The university itself is quite large. Therefore, the space is sufficient even for a few kangaroos.
three kangaroos (two photogenic)
learned is usually in the library or other air-conditioned room. The heat outside is simply incompatible with the human body and brain. The sun here really absorbed any recorded information.
my opinion, could the good people a little air conditioning turn down. It shivers me in there forever.
