Yesterday the daughter left for Tarnovgrad. She is studying marketing there, part-time, paid, 1st year. Today she goes to lectures, they hold them for 15 minutes and tell them that they are free until the end of the day. Everything was uploaded to the platform, to download and study. And whoever did not buy the textbook of… I don't know which associate professor in Fundamentals of Management, certainly would not have got an A.

If she's exaggerating (we just talked about it), then I'm lying too. But she's objective enough in principle. I'll wait until the end of the week and probably escalate the situation.
The first semester went the same way, more hanging around the streets of Tarnovo and almost no lectures. The exams were a disgrace. In the absence of prerequisites - at home. Yes, they had a set time, but from then on the student can dig into Google, maybe a friend can give him tips...

I wonder why they even call them, when they let them educate themselves!? At least they would have saved themselves the cost of travel and accommodation...

I don't know how far I'll get, but I certainly won't be paying 535 leva per semester, God forbid. And my child will certainly be educated in some way.

I've already heard a lot of bad reviews about the University of Tarnovo... but the truth is that the situation is deplorable throughout the country. The other truth is that a large part of their children are being taught. But the venerable professors and associate professors don't feel like working.

The Faculty of Economics in Varna has the same specialty. In addition to full-time, there is also distance learning, there is no part-time. That is, students do not go to the university at all, do not engage a teacher physically, do not waste electricity and water, etc. ... but the fee is three times as much as for full-time. And I wonder why.
Admissions across the country are a total parody. For paid training, it turns out that for a modest 50 leva you reserve a place outside the rankings and all you have to do is take your matriculation exams with a three and you're in. Even the Navy accepts this way.

Separately, mass exams since the pandemic have been conducted only with the submission of coursework. Various companies offer to write you a coursework or thesis for a solid sum. Usually there is a company or private individual intermediary, and the writers are active professors at universities. They write the coursework of foreign students with the clear awareness that theirs are being written by professors from other universities. And the Ministry of Education is asleep!! And the internet is full of advertisements for this type of service. The last thesis was 800 leva, if the client did not submit any supporting materials, but only a topic.
It's true that students have always helped each other with writing and copying. But it was somehow in moderation, somehow hidden and not so massively. Today it's just scary.
I don't know how many of you realize what a miracle is coming out and it will work!!! Without even moving, this miracle can write two lines and learn two words.

I'm furious... and disgusted. And I'll probably demand an official explanation from this university about what it's offering for the money I'm giving.
