Welcome to Thammasat!
Now that you're going, let's get a few things straight. Thammasat does have a few similarities to MC, but there are a few very important differences.
In terms of the workload, there isn't a big emphasis on short-term grading, many of the classes have emphasis on long-term grades such as big finals, term papers, or final projects. The classroom has a very relaxed atmosphere. However, do not think that means that the classes don't have a lot of work. Many classes have a good bit reading that you are independently responsible for. The flow of the semester is pretty much just homework assignments leading up that one final project. But, on top of all this, the professors are usually readily available to answer any and all questions.
As for grades, they are the same as they are here in the States.
There are programs set up through the International Affairs office that will help you get contacted with tutoring services.
As you know, it takes 12 credit hours to be considered a full time student here, but at Thammasat you will need at least 13 hours.
Best of luck!
