I attended in Immunology II course for teaching the lecture on the topic of Failure of the Body’s Defense and laboratory as well as journal club. When compared to the topic between Karolinska Institutet and my university, the topic I taught at Karolinska Institutet was integrated from 3 separated topics I taught in my university. I think the integrated topic was more beneficial to students because students can link all contents as a whole and helped them to understand better. However the teaching method was not so different because it was a lecture-based teaching.
Teacher/student relationships at Karolinska Institutet were more distant than that at my university. Thai students normally have more respect to teachers and have close relationship to teachers. They are more friendly to foreign teachers but with poor English speaking skill while Karolinska Institutet's students were the opposite. Thai students are required to attend classes no less than 80% otherwise they are not allowed to pass the course. At Karolinska Institutet there is no such requirement, thus students are free to miss the class. In addition, some students at Karolinska Institutet have more critical thinking skill than Thai students.
