Hi, I need some help with my master's. I have recently started my master's at Loughborough University London campus and feel this isn’t the right decision. I’ve only had one week of classes. However, I can’t understand the teachers as they are international and all have accents. Apart from that, they don't teach the course, only read off the board. When I try to communicate with them, they don’t understand the question due to a language barrier.
I feel really frustrated, and it's only been one week. I’m also not from a business background ( this course is meant to be a conversion course), so I'm finding it too hard to keep up with the teachers because one they aren’t explaining properly and secondly because of a language barrier. I can’t really ask for help.
I just feel so deflated and upset about starting the course, and I really don't know why. I just constantly feel like I need to burst into tears about it all. I've even been looking into dropping out, and the course hasn't even begun yet!
Im planning to talk to the course head and see what they say but i know they wont be able to change my teachers and they dont have extra classes for students to take on the side who havnt studied business before.
i also have an offer from royal holloway for january intake for the same course which is accredited and this course im currently at isnt accredited. so im not sure if i should drop out of this course and wait until january to start at royal holloway or stick with this course and see if the teaching gets better.
It really is mystery - I feel so awful about this masters degree - I wasn't like this before starting undergraduate level at all. I just feel like I really can't be bothered to do anything for it or go in next week, and just upset about the whole thing, but I don't know why.
Just wondering if anyone can give me any advice on my feelings or what to do about it all?
