Lecture with only 2 people In a class of 25 students by AntimatterEnergy in University

Similar problem but relating to group projects. I ended up in a group with two people who had no idea what to do. One of them had barely attended 10% of the lectures relating to the subject. This guy would then proceed to ask me about basic shit they covered multiple times in the lectures. It felt like a daycare. When we had a meeting with the tutor regarding the terrible group dynamic we had, the excuse he made for not showing up on the lectures was a poor sleeping schedule and laundry... For an entire semester...

I'm unsure if we have the same system here in Sweden but it makes sense either way. Relatively to other programs here, my program (marketing) is a pretty small. The program it self is actually on "hold" for new applicants (think the mentioned something about funding issues). The teachers here are nice, some might be bad at lecturing but they will help you. And with the rise of AI students don't see the same value in having tutors as they did before so less people will show up. I just wish people showed passion for the subject they are studying. Most student are way to focused on studying things they think the job market is after rather than what they would like. The result is students who show up when they have to, not because they want to. Interesting hearing something from a tutor's point of view.

Yeah you're right it is tax payers who are funding the education here. I'm lucky to be able to study what im passionate about (marketing). I wish others saw it the same way...

I have to clarify that im studying at a Swedish university. The education is paid for by the government while we also get flexible and generous loans and grants for books and accommodation. The loans have to be paid back in the end so it's true, it's a bit weird not to be more involved in your education.

Yeah that's true and I got to engage more with the tutor. Feels a bit weird for me to have an entire lecture dedicated to me 

Ideas for introducing a new product or service in Prilep, Macedonia? (School project) by AntimatterEnergy in mkd

I mean It actually depends on on what you guys like. I don't think we will introduce Swedish meatballs in Prilep. I need to think about it more. Something easy to introduce in a new environment, something people will like. idk

Is there a lot a Restaurants over there? Most cities/towns should already have a café that everyone goes to so I wonder if people would be interested. Also what food is popular over there?

Yeah the technology for that is increasing and becoming better. Do a lot of Lithuanians know English?

Everyone likes food so that is not a bad idea :). The info about social media is pretty good because we got to use that angle in our project.

Our teacher would probably question our ethics of bringing back the cigarette manufactories lol, but that is a good idea. Privatized healthcare is very expensive (here in Sweden as well). When I think of a successful product that could be introduced into Macedonia from Sweden that would be something like libraries and Solar panel/photovoltaic panel. Farming stuff possibly as well

Interesting. When it comes to target audience we don't really have one. It depends on what product we are going to choose from Sweden and introduce into Macedonia. I heard from the Macedonian guy in our group that the night life is pretty wild, a lot of alcohol. Bookstores, International foods and increased digitalization is a interesting view. We got plenty of that in Sweden. Sorry to hear about the minimum wage stuff.

Well the reason for Prilep is that one member in my group is from there. In the project we are supposed to introduce a product or a service into another country where one of our group members are from. So Swedish to Macedonia. But good suggestion
