5. During my stay at New York University what struck me most was the teaching mode there, especially the seminars chaired by the professor who actually functioned as a model rater and resource person posing questions, making suggestions, and designing projects or stating specific cases that demanding solution.

6. At seminars each of us students was freer to go into deep discussions about the aspects of the seminar topic that particularly interested us.

7. Seminars required lengthy oral and reports on independent research. But this sometimes beat me.

8. Once I flunk the final of one of my required courses which has featured by seminars I took the course twice without success before I wanted to give up. However I passed for the third time. The overcoming of this burial gave me great courage in confidence to continue my future research.
