EU caught up again with Robin Hilbrink, and asked him to reflect on his first semester at Nichols College, MA.
Which subjects are you studying at Nichols?
I am following the subjects Physical World, Sport & Society, Professional Writing, Business, Government & Regulation and Psychology of Advertising.
Can you tell us in more detail about the class structure and professors?
The Physical World class is a scientific class…this class is divided in lectures and laboratory. During the lectures you follow what the professors have to say and during the laboratory class you have to make exercises.
The two professors that teach the Psychology of Advertising class, Prof. Davis and Prof. Downs, are both very experienced in their subjects. They teach with great enthusiasm and their message is very clear. Every class you have to give a presentation or make an essay and from day one you are working in a team. This team does not change over the semester and every week you have to fill in a evaluation sheet of your team members and other teams.
Are there similarities between the way classes are taught at EU and at Nichols?
Psychology of Advertising is very different (with two professors), but the rest is more or less the same. The professors are very motivated and enthusiastic and they want the students to talk. There is a lot of interaction between students and professors.
How else do you find Nichols different to EU?
Nichols has much more students than EU, but the classes are also small and there is a good interaction between students and the professors.
