Central Michigan University Top Questions

Some professors do know student names. My best class was BCA 311 with Will Anderson. I think he is an amazing professor and he makes the subject fun and interesting to learn. He can be a very hard grader, but it's well worth it.

I think the academics at Central need a boost; we need teachers who want to learn the students name, and get us excited about learning.

Depending on the class, the professors know our names, my favorite class is french becasue my teacher is really fun and interesting, I dont like english becasue its boring to me. A lot of students participate. I am a health fitness major and the classes seem really interesting. Central's academic requirements are kinda high I think and Central is geared towards both succeeding to get a job and learning.

I am impressed with most of the professors at Central Michigan University, the other day I walked by a professor I had three years ago, and the professor might not of remembered my name but recognized me and said hello. I was surprised that he remembered me because I sat in the back of the class the whole semester. The staff in the business department has been really helpful when I needed help a couple years ago plotting out my schedule for the rest of my time up here. My favorite class that I took at Central Michigan was economics with Richard Hill, he was a really good professor, I learned a lot from him because he was good at using examples to teach, he had interesting stories that helped me remember what I needed to learn.

I think that the class sizes here at Central are perfect; I like having professor who want to establish a relationship with their students. Many of them make an effort to get to know every students name, which shows me that they take their job serisouly. Although my major, dietetics, is hard, we have some of the most knowledge professor and I couldn't ask for better resources. I beleive that after graduation I will be truly greatful for all that I have learned hear.

THe best thing about central is that you get your education here. The classrooms are smaller so you get more expeience with your professors. Almost all of mine know me by my first name, which makes the experience here more worth while.

the professors suck, they need to get ones that speak english. its hard to learn from people you cant understand. the requirements and classes provided are nice and broad, they just need better professors. they also need to make a better effort of getting you connected with possible employers in the future.

Most of the time, when you get into classes for your major, your professors will know your name because the class size is smaller. Sometimes, professors do not know you though. Students are not competitive at all. It is a very big deal for someone to make the dean's list, a 3.5 or higher. I do not spend time with professors outside of class unless it is at their office hours.

Almost all of my professors know my name. My favorite class at CMU was HSC 214. It was so interesting and Dr. Salt had a very good lecture. My least favorite class was moral problems because my teach was basically an idiot. I could have done a better job than he did. I dont know about other people but I study A LOT. But I have to I want to go to Med School. No CMU students dont usually have intellectual conversations outside of class. I am a competitive student. My favorite part about getting exams is knowing what I placed out of the class. The most unique class I've ever taken was my speech class. It was fun, we would play games. I am in the health fitness major. One thing I do not like is the availability of classes. It is too hard to sign up for the classes you need to take. I dont want to waste being here for 5 years when I should be graduating in 4 and going to med school in my 5th. Its pointless to be here for 5 years just because I couldn't get in a class. I dont usually spend time with professors outside of class but when I do need help I do see them. I think the UPs are dumb but I guess i understand the idea behind them. That is a good question. For me my education is geared toward learning. Med school would be towards getting a job as a doctor. I think most classes are geared towards getting a job.

The class size is so small that it gives professors the opportunity to connect with you on a different level. Even in my classes that are held in lecutre halls, the teachers grade their own papers and even write comments on them. I dont typically spend time with professors outside of class unless I need to contact them at their office hours for further help, and in that case they are normally available.
