Good but to much theory and little pratice.
Three good years of continuous learning. I gained analytical e critical capabilities that allowed me to look into diverse issues more rigorously. Professors seemed to have an excellent grasp of what they were teaching and could produce engaging classes. The course was very theoretical and not nearly practical enough, I would have liked to have some kind of practical experience in the job market.
