The study
environment at KI has a higher standard than at my university. I booked the
group rooms several times to meet with my groups for writing assignments. We
used the beamer there to correct our paper together and the whiteboards to do
brainstorming. The only thing I have to mention here: If rooms are booked and
confirmed, but no ones in there, there should be a regulation that others can
use the room then.
The contact
between my teachers or supervisors was quite good most of the time with one or
two exeptions. In general I felt that the contact is closer but that comes also
from calling everyone by his first name. But all responded very quick and
friendly to my emails and were open for questions during courses.
I didn’t
figure out how to use the printing system only with my free copies (which was
very nice to have them) so I had to
create an account for paying and so on, which was a bit difficult. I think it
would be easier to pay at lyktan (especially for short-time staying students)
to get more copies.
I also missed the schedules in advance of the semester. It would be much easier especially because we were a quite international course, to have all schedules for one semester at least two weeks before the start of the semester to be able to book our flights early enough!!!
