I have had many little tests, quizzes, while studying here so far. Quizzes aren't difficult, just read the previous lecture's material once and you have good chance to get A. But first bigger exam I had on friday from Law in Social Work practice. I didn't remember I had exam on that day, so i hadn't read the material any more than just while on lectures.
The exam was multiple choice, with 4-5 options for each questions. I did got more than 60% correct without reading but just remembering stuff from lectures. And if I wouldn't have passed that, everyone got a second chance on that test, since you could take the test questions with you and answer them in home. So I looked some of the answers from book, but it was so time consuming searching the answer from there so I gave up the effort to try to get 100% correct, so I got only 87% eventhou I could do it home with textbook.

My Courses in Pitt State
I took the following courses during the enrollment process:
- Us politics (O'Connor)
- Political Philosophy (Zagorski)
- Social Work and the Law (Cameron)
- Political Parties and Elections (Peterson)
- Urban and Regional Planning (Bailey)
- Introduction to Political Science (Peterson)
I didn't know which courses might be best for me, so those courses I took semi-randomly because they sounded compatible with Social and Public policy and Political Sciences.
There are some courses I have consideret of dropping off. Political Philosophy is mostly the same stuff as in the course "Basics of Political Science" in Jyväskylä. Social Work and Law haven't yet had so much compatibleness to social policy as I hoped. I still probably keep them.
The courses all started at the same week and last probably about the same time and they all are 3 credits which is probably something like 5 ects. 12 is propably "full load" and 21 the maximum allowed.
In means of education strategies they differ some ways from Finland. Every course has lectures and a book. Some of the teachers give Pop Quizzes regularly.
From those teachers Peterson is maybe my favorite, eventhou he didn't give the best first impression by starting his first class by reading the syllabus straight from the paper. He is a passionate teacher who doesn't leave unclear his political positions and sometimes even yells passionately while teaching. But if you don't like homework, the courses are maybe not for you.
