Note: All students learn the same regardless of the “form of training”. American education is built on “loans” (yes, they were introduced to us, according to the principle “I heard a bell, but I do not know where it is”, at least when I was working at a university in Kiev, no one understood what it was and what it was for it is necessary, and the “credit” itself had no meaning and meaning). In America, each item is worth some credits. And to graduate from university, you need to recruit a certain number of them. Credits do not depend on the valuation. If 3 credits are given for the item, then get for it at least A (“excellent”), though C (“satisfactory”), you will receive your 3 credits. This gives the fact that in America there is no “correspondence education”, as we understand it. Learn ” part-time”in the US university only means to have less workload (less credits per semester). For example, only one pair a week. Consequently, “correspondence students” regularly visit couples and receive exactly the same education as those who study full-time, being with them on the same pairs. The ability to “build” your own education. The fact that at the American University you choose your subjects yourself, gives you the opportunity to choose exactly what is interesting and concentrate on some kind of specialization, unlike ours, where they teach everything, but after graduating, you know about everything in general and about anything specifically.
