Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

When you get to upper division classes many professors know your name because classes are smaller. My favorite classes were my marketing classes. Least favorite, Managerial Accounting. I study a lot. Depending on the size of the class, class participation is common. I like my major and the deparment the only thing I would change is the variety of teachers. The only thing I would change about the academic curriculm would be having a common grading system throughout the college.

A lot of professors know my name, but that's because I make smart-remarks or asinine comments that are valid and reasonable but catch the professors a little off guard. My most favorite class are any that has to deal with the public and how to broadcast yourself to many or to one individual. How to become personable, likable and memorable. My least favorite class is math, can barely do a simple math problem. I think students don't participate enough because the rewards are not seen to them and there is no direct and severe punishment if decided not to participate.

no. My favorite class is my business computers class because i love business and computers. My least favorite class is geology because i hate science. Every time they have a test students study. There isnt really any class participation. I have intellectual conversations with my peers outside of class. Some students are competitive with their grades. The most unique class that i have taken is JTC 100. I am an open option major seeking business. No i do not spend any time with professors outside of class. CSU's academic requirements are fair. i think that the education is geared towards getting a job.

Academics at CSU, at least in my major, tends to be pretty easy. Upper division is more of a challenge for me but I am sad to say high school was harder than college. This was not something I was expecting when coming to college but the professors are amazing and they really challenge you if you speak to them on office hours. I ecourage anyone to talk to their professors and get to know them because sometimes they open up doors you didnt know where available to you.

I am a Human Development & Family Studies major (which you guys do not have on your list of majors!) and I am also getting my teaching license in Early Childhood Education. I love my classes and most of my professors. There are several problems with the education department, but overall it has been a good experience.

Some professors know my name, not many though. Im in a Phisiological Psychology lab that is the coolest shit ive done it college. We examine human brains everyday... I mean who can hate on that? Hmmmm, my least favorite class would have to be Psychology of Personalities. I didnt know if i was gonna be tested on the material that didnt exsist, our decripid profs life story, or his obsession with black holes... Seriously someone fire this guy. Students study a shit load depending on their classes. Some just take way more work that others, and thats one of the things you learn along the way. Class participation is common in upperdivision level classes, but when you have 350 peeps in a class, participation consists of filling out the Sudoku in the newspaper. Do our students have intellectual conversations out of class? If i have to hear kids debate politics or religion after a couple beers one more time im gonna drop out. Students are competitive whether they want to admit it or not. THATS why DAVE won't come to terms with the fact that I just KNOW more than him when it comes to the Limbic system. The most unique class ive taken is the one with brains i already talked about. Brains keep it real.

professors knew my name, which was both a blessing and a curse. i'd say i liked 95{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of my professors at csu. during the ski season it got a little tough to focus on important fads like going to class and studying, but in the end everythign turned out all right. the economics department was full of the most intelligent, knowledgable, and helpful men and women employed at that school. though often times my grades didn't reflect it, my professors taught me a lot about not only the subjects they were teaching but about life itself as well.

While most college students dread class, I love it. I have had a job since I was 11, and to me, classes are where I can prove myself. The faculty does a great job at challenging students, but they do it in a successful and respectful way. Most professors know my name (I am kind of a bid deal, Ron Burgandy style). The greatest class I have ever took at CSU was SP447: TV and Radio Broadcast Management. The professor was Denny Phillips, a professor who shot from the hip, told it like it was, and was extremely excited about teaching. He brought in a writer for the Showtime series Dexter (which is one of my favorite shows), and had a "Fantasy TV League" where the class "drafted" programs and set up a strength schedule against other classmates. I learned about the business of media and gained insight that only Prof. Phillips could have taught. Being a journalism major as well as communications major, it is not a stretch to figure that my least favorite class would pertain to math. Statistics was my bane for an entire semester. I cried myself to sleep every night before a test. Overall CSU is a smart campus. People are aware of current events and enjoy competitive banter. The weird thing about CSU life is that if you have the money and decide to go to a "top shelf" drinking pub, there is a good chance that you will see one of your professors there. The majority of faculty at CSU are just like students; hungry for knowledge but ready to party. I actually had a Communications Professor tell the entire class about the faculty Halloween party in which he got so "shitfaced" he "pissed in his colleagues closet." Very informal, very comfortable, very hilarious. Academic as a whole at CSU entirely depends on the student. If you want to have your education geared to getting a job, all you have to do is research.

Yes. Many classes I do like at CSU. ECON 704, ECON 504

Study time is normal but it obviously depends on teachers and class level.
