Classes are small, and professors generally know who you are, and will notice you missing if your'e not there. Major and higher level classes seem to be more beneficial. Learning is often more practical in these types of courses, where in general education courses it's for the sheer sake of learning.

Many of my professors know my name, but it is mostly in the smaller classes that this happens. I know students who study all the time, but I don't myself. I like to feel the pressure, so I usually put things off until the last week to ensure that I work my hardest.

I really don't know any of my professors personally. I always thought that college would have been way harder than high school but my first two years have proven to be very similar to high school. Most of it has been review for me and I have been able to slide by.

I am a Business major. I signed at the end of my sophomore year and have enjoyed taking the courses related to general management. Each semester I have had at least one professor that I thoroughly enjoyed. They take the time to get to know your names and set up hours outside of class to help.

My favorite class are the ones that are not lecture. It is when the professor actually knows your name and pays attention to what you think. I believe that Central has a great selection of professors and most of the professors want their students to do well. I havent had one that does not care about my grade in their class.

You can't just blow off class and expect to get an education. Sure we're at college to have a good time, make some friends, and gain a lot of memories, but are our parents really shelling out a nice sum of money for us each year just for that? Go to class, do the work, take time to study, and you're time will be pretty smooth. However, it is helpful to build a relationship with your professors during their office hours. They are really accomidating and will help you with areas you may be struggling with, but it's up to YOU! Professors aren't going to come looking for you!

Student stand out and professors care.

Academics aren't that great, especially within the Greek system-you get awards and recognition for having a 2.5....unless my standards are just alot higher, I don't deem a 2.5 as a good GPA.
Danielle
Most of my classes are pretty small and the teachers usually get to know all of their student's names. I've only had two lectures halls this year, and those professors still try to make an effort, especially when you come to their office hours. I really like CMU's academic requirements because it helps to create a well-rounded student.

The class sizes at CMU are not to big but not to small either. It takes some work so that the professors know your name, but it is really beneficial to the students that we do not have huge lectures. My major is biomedical sciences so getting to know my professors is crucial because I need recommendation letters frequently for medical school applications. The biology department at CMU is very strong and the faculty and staff are always willing to help students with issues or problems.
