One to consider

Most courses where online hence students would lag behind in a few topics but teachers would send word files for all modules for students to look over.

despite everything it at last worked out just fine

we had our classes taught in english which is a good thing being in a foreign country but the only bad experience was during the covid pandemic where we had all classes online and some field practicals were hardly organized some even postponed .
