The quality of professors can occur to be satisfactory, but the best of them make us want to study more. The education in english language is making it a more interesting place, especially with international students and teachers.
My experience was filled with victories, personal and team ones. I was the most dedicated student of the class, and it paid off completely because I work as a food technologist for a huge company currently. What I would like to improve is the number of practical cases. I am strongly convinced that dealing with real issues which we, in the industry, face on a regular basis could facilitate the entire process of learning and would definitely encourage a lot of students to study harder and to eventually become real professionals.
