The Crash

American Universities are easier than British Universities. Fact. American Universities require more work than British Univerisites. Also fact.

I am taking all upper level courses here in the States and to be frank the questions I am being asked are A level in their complexity. Yet the workload is significantly higher here. I am struggling with it. My grades have recently nose dived becuase I have simply not put in the hours. If you actually take the time to do the readings it is very hard not to get top marks in the US. Yet there is so much reading to do its tempting to skip some of it, British style. Yet to do this in the US is fatal since the majoirty of the questions are based on simple facts and figures that crop up in the text, rarely do they ask you to do any analysis or comparative works.

I have been gifted an opportunity to really boost my grade here in the States, since an 'A' here is equal to a 70 back home and an A here is really not that hard to achieve. To do this however I need to really focus, concentrate and avoid distractions. This is a new sort of challenge.
