What are the academics like at DePaul University?

Ashley

My professors for my major known my name. Studying habits depend on the major and even more on how good of a grade the students wishes to receive. Class participation is very common in non-major courses. Students are very competitive in my major, but also very willing to study in groups. The most unique class I've taken was philosophy with the ethics of killing and war. The education at DePaul is geared toward getting a job, but the students needs to take the initiative to be involved to make the right connections with professors and other students.

Kathleen

I have not had a bad experiance with a professor.

Unless you are in a 101 Intro class, your classes will not be bigger than about 35. So yeah, teachers will know your name. I like the smaller classes, because I feel My favorite class has probably been my Explore Chicago class on the Chicago Lakefront. My teacher was awesome, I learned a lot, and we went on some really neat class field trips.

Some do. You can't do that in like one sentence. But my favorite class was SE450 with Professor Riley. Nope, nothing sticks out in my mind. I love school! I wouldn't know. Not in CTI classes. Sure. Some. I dunno, just say SE450 again. My major is computer science. It's not really, but...I'll spare you the details, eventhough you probably want me to share them. Absolutely not. Quite low. In my experience, getting a job.

I make sure that the professors know my name, but usually they will by the end of the quarter if you dont make sure the professors know your name. My favorite class so far has been digital cinema because I was able to make a music video. I think that student study a lot, but there are always going to be people that study adn do not study. I think that intellectual conversations would depend on who you are talking to and the type of person you are talking to. I think that DePaul has some pretty decent academic requirements, however i think that the honors program is terrible at DePaul.
