After 4 weeks of classes, I've finally gotten a grasp of how school here operates, as it's quite different than UH. As mentioned before, there's no campus for LdM here in Florence, so all of my classes are spread out within the city. The picture above is located outside of my Wine Business class, but my other classes are roughly 10 minutes away from this location.
Classes are different than UH in many ways, with not being able to use my computer in class being the most life changing. Since being in college, I've rarely had to take hand written notes, but due to most professors having a strict no electronics policy, I've had to write notes for all of my classes. LdM also takes attendance much more serious than UH. Not to say UH doesn't take attendance seriously, but LdM has school policy to severely lower grades depending on how many classes were missed, whereas at UH there's no strict school policy for missing class, but your grade will usually be lower if you do. So far, my class assignments and projects have been similar to what I've been used to from my ITM classes, with most revolving around group work and presentations. Midterms are coming up in a few weeks, and if it's anything like how classes are ran, I expect it to be more writing intensive rather than multiple choice. Comments are closed.
