Student review [#24330] for Comparative Politics
at University of Bergen

Besides being deeply dissatisfied with the programme I enrolled in for personal reasons, the University itself is worthy of criticism.
1) They largely use an outdated video streaming software for their lectures, that doesn’t allow the students to contact the teachers. This software would occasionally not have sound and there would be nothing to fix it as the lecturers would be busy.
2) When they finally converted to zoom, it made the majority miss the streaming platform, as at least it saved the lectures for us to review again.
3) They do not use Canvas, like every other University. Instead, they use the free version, which does not permit access to the canvas app. For a while, they had their own, which was absolutely useless. ut after that they just told us to “Check the webpage daily”.
4) Some of the lecturers are outright rude, dismissing students’ concerned questions and outright rolling their eyes when asked something “stupid” and “obvious”.
