<p>I went to an Ivy League school for two years and even though I felt my high school education was not very good, the teaching was much better than I received from any Ivy prof. I eventually transfered to a smaller state school where the professors were, for the most part, better at teaching the finer details of the material. So the hardest transition for me was not being taught what I needed to know in order to complete my assignments, and that was my downfall. My other downfall was having exams that were much more difficult that the problem sets, and I had enough trouble understanding some of the problem sets. Most of my profs now are good teachers and they need to be because they don’t have the luxury of relying of teaching assistants. My engineering program isn’t large enough to provide TA’s.</p>
