My favorite classes are my psychology courses that im taking, they are awesome. Least favorite classes are anything with math, because FIU does not have really good math professors. In my classes class participation is common we seem to be pretty competitive at what we do. I think like everything we have professors that are horrible just like we have professors that are awesome, no one school is perfect, so FIU has pretty good professors for the most part. I think FIU education is competitive and at the same geared more toward being able to receive a job. I alsi wanted to add that we have an awesome Career services department that are always there to help out in all aspects, from resume critiques to businees etiqutte dinners, internships, mock trials, yep they are wonderful! I also want to mention that FIU has wonderful and always there to help academic advisers, yes they are awesome as well!

Many teachers have a problem speaking English. This may be Miami, but not every one is of hispanic decent and can understand their teachers when they speak Spanish.

The Marketing department and in general the Business school at FIU is a world-class program with great faculty. Not all of them are as inspiring and as great as the rest but overall, the programs are as diverse as the populations and the faculty is a mix of individuals with great experience in their field. Depending on the interest of the student, most teachers are very approachable and willing to help.

The professors don't know my name. Nor do they are to learn it. They mostly care is finishing their research and enjoying the Miami sun, instead of teaching the class.
Sasha
The main core classes required for business majors, the professors are indifferent and not the highest quality.

I dont really have a favorite class, more like favorite teachers, which makes me enjoy the class.
I study probally 5 hours per week.
Class particpation is common if the class is interesting.
As far as intellectual conversations outside of class.... I dont think so.
Some students are more competitive than others but that's everywhere.
Operations Management with Steven Ellis

Prof. Luis Fernandez, psychology is a great professor. My best in my four years. Due to budget cuts there are many fun classes that have been taken away. Judo is one of them (it was a great extra class). Education is geared toward getting a job but these budget cuts are not helping at all. Mandique needs to spending so much money on football and landscaping and more on classes and teachers.

Classes are big so most teachers won't know our name. My favorite was Harry Potter english class and my race in america class. One was personable and good material and the other class was good material. Business majors have intelligent conversation outside of class. Students arent really competitive. I will FIU needs to have a better UCC requirement and more choices.
