• My Experience Studying Soft Skills at ITMO

  …s through conversation. That's probably why I chose this course. Webinars were held on October 29, November 6 and 13. Later all webinars were available for repetition or mastering basic terms and knowledge. From November 17, the intensives began. Each day began with lectures, where teachers explained about strategies, influence, areas of interest, and the use of g…

• A Day in the Life of an ITMO Student

  … yoga to badminton). The class is going well, maybe the sun is a little bit disturbing but for me it just adds more happiness. After that, food! A really full lunch at the cafeteria after which I can barely walk. So it’s the best chance to walk! I have some time before the next class and I can take a long walk to the other building. Walking slowly through the streets…

Simon Rowberry, meanwhile, delivered an interesting history on the development of e-book readers, which, considering my role as an e-book publisher with my company ArcInset, was intrig…

  …urse, they showed us where the best beer is. It is worth noting that drinking beer is not shamed here, as it can be in Russia. You can buy beer for lunch in the university cafeteria. Along with this we have a special event where we were given free beer brewed by the rector. By the way, a beer here is cheaper than bottled water. More importantly with the help of ou…

• What stereotypes do you know about Russia?

  …f nice things my new friends had explored. Especially one thing which almost made me cry. My students told me about people. And not only about buddies (which was also very flattering) but about usual people on the streets. Taxi drivers or cashiers, drunks in bars or cleaners, even policemen — they’re all nice and kind. They were supportive and wanted to help even if …

• ITMO… It’s More Than a University.

  …hey must work together and help one another as a team. Some of the more basic tasks we complete train their teamwork skills. These can include academic riddles or murder mysteries. In the case of the latter, students receive a pile of evidence where on each piece of paper a small clue is written. All clues are unique and students work in collaboration to sort out …

  …ver you decide to live, make at least one friend. Someone who can help you discover this new world and guide you. Eventually, you will become like partners in crime solving mysteries and having fun. I have a theory that goes like this: "we always come across with angels that life puts in our path, they appear so we can overcome some challenges and in return, we becom…

The gold and red shades and chandeliers give an amazing royal feel to the interior of the theatre. The rows of balconies reach the ceiling, which is also beautifully painted. The ballet we saw here was Don Quixote, the Spanish classic about the hidalgo, who wants to b…

• Dream Finally Came True. Part 2.

  …it. The amount of information one has to memorize is impressive. Some of the subjects like math have two lectures per week. To keep up, it is important to revise the lecture materials at home a lot. That actually requires a lot of self-control, discipline. I find it convenient, that all the lectures are uploaded to the Internet. This makes revising stuff a lot easie…
