Florida International University Top Questions

Professors sometimes do know the names of the students depending on how big the class is. My favorite class right now, is African American Literature because I've learned many things that I thought I knew before, but didnt quite learn accurately before. Students are competitive for the most part.

When trying to fulfill the state requirements and pre-requisites for your intended major, the classes tend to be larger and more impersonal than when you start getting into the classes for your major. The classes into your major tend to be much smaller and personalized, you are able to form a better relationship with your professor as well as your peers.

Pretty decent.

Whether or not professors know your name at FIU depends on the size of the class you are enrolled in. While many classes are auditorium-sized and your face will never be seen up close by the professor, there are many opportunities for smaller learning environments, including the Honors College, where students are paired with a professor for interdisciplinary learning for an entire year, and FIGS, where first-year students are grouped with each other and have several classes together. Class participation, at least in lower division and core curriculum classes seems low, but are mostly lecture based.

Professors are great but classes can be hard depending on the major you have chosen.

Most of my professors know who I am. One of the most influential professors I have come acroos were Mr. Orihuela and Philip Marcus. I loved their class and their teaching style. They really knoe their stuff.

There are several courses, like college algebra and economics, that have teachers that are great at what they do but can not teach the material to students in a way that they can actually gain knowledge.

Education at FIU, for the most part, isn't about getting a job. In some classes it's not even about learning...unless it's a subject one has interest in. Courses at FIU are given only for the money. That is why I'm currently wasting money taking 48 elective credits. I can take any bs class that I want, as long as it fills the void. It shouldn't be that way, I should only have to take courses that I need.

I think the clesses here are fine, i just think we should be more selective on helpful teachers with actual personalities to make the learning experience fun. I think some teachers are way too rude and just not nice people.

Little professors know my name. Favorite class is probably religion studies, least is probably....none. Class participation is common. Intellectual conversations are hard to find. Semi-competitive. Unique class was probably South Florida Ecology. My major has been changed millions of times, I just changed to TV production. FIU's academic requirements should go up. Getting a job.
