According to him, he had a problem with making his points concise and restricted to the three lines as instructed. George said he failed a course because of this.
In his words:
"Exam in the schools here carries the lowest marks. They don't test your knowledge through exams."
He said studying abroad could make success come much easier and faster especially when the students go back to Africa.
According to him, answering questions in class carries ten points.
In his words:
"Your participation in class carries ten points, your research paper alone carries about 60 to 70 points. Exam in the schools here carries the lowest marks. They don't test your knowledge through exams."
