TPU is a prestigious polytechnic university in the city of Tomsk, and at the current prices, inexpensive. I entered the paid economic department in 2006 for 4 years, since before that I graduated from college in economic speciality, where I studied for 3 years. It’s easy to do, you do not solve complex tests for school subjects. Enrolled in the speciality “Economist – Manager (in Mechanical Engineering)”. Unfair attitudes toward students are present, as in many other higher education institutions. I teach, “I bite” till midnight, on the exam I get a weak “4”. Another student – walked all night, sat – cheered the teacher and also “4”. At first, everything went well, the further, the more difficult. Items begin: technology of machine-building production, welding production, automation of processes in machine building, and the like. In general, everyone has a hard time. Before each examination, a compulsory collection of funds for the teacher’s gift (coffee, candy, cognac, flowers). Before the test is not always, at the discretion of the group. Once they thought they would take the exam, a teacher like that was not demanding, they did not buy anything for him. As a result: four “4”, the remaining “3” (in the group of 16 people). The whole group decided not to take anymore so! They got used to the “packets”, they were diluted by the students themselves. In general, an excellent university, the sessions were not bored. Now I work as an economist, though not in engineering, but in a budgetary institution.
