I am sorry that I did not write for a long time,because i have so many mid-term exams and assignments to do.
Every course has one or two assignments, some of them are really hard and need a quite long time to finish.One of my courses is Portfolio Theory and Management, and i spent almost 15 hours to finish its first assignment.Fortunately, the result is quite good. However, i have a course named Options and Futures, i strongly recommend students DO NOT take this course. I did the assignment with my friend from Tilburg University, one exchange student from Germany and two Canadian students, we sat together, discussed for 4 hours, and still not sure about our answers. The result is bad and the mid-term is so hard.I didn't do well in this course that probably because i didn't take Corporate Finance 2 which is the basic course of this course,but i still think that it's not a wise choice if you have a lot of other things to do at the same time.
I have two courses that have two mid-term exams, and the rest have one.I have to say, they are not easy, and some of them are really hard!! You have to spend a lot of time on them, however,just as my professor says:" make sure you do the dirty work, and you will be fine." Some of the exams question are quite similar to the exercise questions in the book, if you try to do all of them and read the course materials, it's possible to get a very good grade. But there are still some other exams which acquire you to understand the concept clearly,good at calculation, and are able to solve some practical problems, which means you have to read the book and course materials carefully, try to understand every single concept clearly, and know how to use these concepts in the real world.
I have much more works to do there than in Tilburg. It's not a good idea to skip class, because the materials are really hard to understand by yourself, it's much better if you follow the professor step by step.
Although there are a lot of works to do, but it's still excited if you can study in a different country and breathe the different fresh air, right?
Hope everything is going on well with everyone!
See you!
