Faculty of European Studies - Teachers quality (Ms Ciot)

As a student you have high expectations of the teachers - they should be role models and inspire you to learn, be active and have progress. There are some teachers that are the opposite: full of themselves, over-dressed and tona of make-up, looking from somewhere above to all the mortal people that are not like them. Ms Ciot is one of them and students see that she acts superior, she speaks superior and we don't need this. No matter if you are rich or poor, smart or not so smart - you cannot have this attitude - she needs to change or the management needs to take action. We think these people should not be allowed to teach to students - as the country does not need more Ms Ciot Gabriela for sure. Other than this - I feel I can learn - great university and great atmosphere - great covid policy enjoyed it even during hard times - thanks!

Kind professors and hard-working students

Last year I chose ASE with a pinch of salt, because many of my acquaintances told me from their experience that it is a university where neither the teachers, nor the students are involved in their work. That couldn't be farther from the truth, at least for the German Business Administration faculty where I study. The students here are, though sometimes lazy, really creative and with a desire to put into practice the information that they get from the courses. The professors are really great at sharing their beliefs about different topics and they also put the student in some mind-blowing scenarios, where they really have to activate their brains to come up with a sensible answer. I remember with pleasure how we did unique role-play games during macroeconomics classes, games which made me come to a better understanding of how the market works. I also had quite an annoying experience that I'm going to share with you. It's about the marketing teacher whose courses I attended during the second semester. This person contradicted himself a lot of times and that made him look like he doesn't have a clue what he is talking about. In addition to this, he used to mock the students who answered incorrectly to his questions, without even providing himself the right answer in the end. All in all, the entire collective of both students and teachers is welcoming and here at ASE can truly be achieved long-lasting friendships. It's an underrated faculty that I definitely recommend to all the people that are interested in studying smartly.
