a typical day of a first year student, 08:00~09:30, morning team meeting 09:45~11:00, 1st class 11:15~12:30, 2nd class 12:30~14:15, lunch break (clubs, company presentations, meetings...) 14:15~15:30, 3rd class 15:45~17:00, spanish class (optional)
and then you have A LOT OF things to do in the evening, 1. prepare for the cases, usually 3 cases per day 2. job related, CV, cover letter, companies studies 3. assignments or group projects 4. networking events, we have Bar Of the Week every Thursday, birthday parties... 5. sadly, we still have some house work to do like laundry, dishes, cooking.....
the benefits of case study method, - much more practical and interesting - learn from peers who come from all over the world with different background, which is really important! - force you to thing and organize our thoughts quickly to participate in class - improve our reading ability significantly
the downsides, - the workload is horrible - besides cases, we have to read lots of technical notes to study for the theoretical parts - by nature, Asian students are less proactive in terms of class participation
