It is fantastic to find so many youngsters studying in the lab on weekends. On the surface they are so much into parties, discos and clubs, but beneath that, they all want to work hard for their own good. The different thing here is that teachers try really hard to instruct and students try really hard to understand. They discuss with their peers when there is anything not comprehensive, they would know that they are not the only ones that doesn't understand it, so they go to ask the teacher. Or if sometimes they are the only ones that couldn't understand, they go to ask teacher as well! It is always the teacher's fault when the students don't understand, quite the contrary to the Japanese system where they always blame students for not studying hard. Here in Sweden, if you as an instructor couldn't make your point understood, you can never get away from it, at least not easily!
And you know what? I just learned during the past two weeks in an undergraduate course, something that puzzled me for 2 years in graduate school in Japan! What a shame, I kind of wish that I was never in Japan to study! What a horrible waste of time! What a brain damage!
