*phew* The end of my first week of classes in Hong Kong!!!
I should say that my experience of classes are similar yet dissimilar to the experiences I had while at Drexel. While the lecture style is the same as far as I know between American Universities and HKUST, teaching in HKUST are done in larger groups. I am not certain if that is due to the difference of size between HKUST and my home university, Drexel, but it certainly is a different format than what is done over in the U.S.
Also, it appears that classes are far more off-hand in HKUST compared to my experiences in Drexel. Not trying to compare university systems, but I can see why engineering degrees are still majority ranked highest in the United States. The American university system is a lot more hands-on in the engineering degree programs compared to Hong Kong, possibly due to more space availability for such hands-on work, which is greatly limited in Hong Kong, and the difference in cultures, where labor is quite cheap is Hong Kong.
Either ways, finalizing edits to my photos to share on Facebook. I am also trying to set up a Flickr album, but am finding myself on the brunt end of the sheer amount of data I am uploading. Apart from that, have a little paperwork to get done before I am truly settles in Hong Kong, and then I can take a long needed rest!
