Middle Tennessee State University Top Questions

Classes are great! The teachers prepare you for the classroom. They are willing to help and support you. There are some teachers that need evaluations again, but for the most part they are great!

Most of the professors, despite some having a massive number of people in their class, will remember your face. Some will even go the extra mile and remember your name. What I find unique and appealing about MTSU is the diverse classes that are available for one to take. Everything from military science to yoga, the options rest at your finger tips.

yes most of the professors know my name becuase we have to sit in the front row and go to class everyday! my favorite thing about class is..i dont know but i dont have a least favortie thing either. i guess students study whenever they want..class participation is common if the teacher allows it! the best class i've taken was my speech class. i am majoring in biology. no i do not spend time with them outside of class. i think the requirements are good and that they prepare you for getting a job.

Some of my smaller major classes the teacher knows who I am and I really like that. I am a mass comm pr major with a minor in business and spanish. I think the teachers are amazing but the advisinbg really struggles at our campus. I cant hardly get anyone to help me in mass comm for classes and advising on graduation which is very frustrating

I really love our program. Professors in the department are excellent. Not only they devote to their research, but also they care a lot about student's study and future. The faculty/student ratio in our program is extremely high, compared to others. This is an advantage because professors know every student very well. I also enjoy the friendly atmosphere in our department. Old students helps us new students in starting our research. Classmates always help each other in study.

My professors try very hard to remember every student's name. My favorite class was prob University Seminar (UNIV 1010). I had a professor named Dr. Stallings. She pushed us to want more than just the experience classes provided for us. I now sit on the SGA Executive Branch with 3 out of 4 students that were in her class. She was very caring and always went out of her way to help us when she could. My least favorite class is one of my major courses. I have never had a professor like this guy the whole time I have been at MT. This certain professor had received his tenure, so he would have to do something extremely drastic to get fired. He used to come in and bad mouth MTSU, other faculty members, and the Administration. He used to make me so mad that I would leave class. He gave me my only "D" that I have received my whole life. Outside of class, I try to study about 2-3 hours a day. I am not a dean's list student. Some students study 2-3 hours for one class for each day they have that particular class. Class participation is very common. I would say, 1 out of 10 professors just lecture with no discussion. As a Finance major, I frequently discuss markets and investments outside of class. Students are not very competitive. Usually, students that try to work for themselves and not help anybody else end up suffering. As students, we don't need to compete for the best grade, we need to help each other exceed. I have never had a professor that said he was only giving out a certain amount of A's, B's, C's, and D's and everybody else just got F's. The most unique class was probably bowling. I would have to say that I have never learned to bowl or talked about bowling in any other class. The Finance department is chaired by Dr. John Lee. He is a great man, and is very easily accessible. I had some health issues my first semester at MT, and my department was very helpful in getting me back on the right track. I try to visit my professors at least once a week out side of class. MT's academic requirements are very standard. They do not make you take an abundance of courses that you will never use in your profession. MT's education is geared toward students' futures. Professors emphasize the importance of knowing the information and how it applies in the real world. They seem very in tuned with idea that just one incompetent student can make MT's education programs look inferior to others.

All of the proffessors I had knew my names and even where I come from. My favorite class was Eng 1020 by Dr T. Wilt. At MTSU students work hard to get the grades the good grades, no one is ready to settle for a lower grade. Class participation is always common especially in the Honor classes. Academics in MTSU is not only class based, many students look for jobs in their area of their studies in order for them to sharpen their skills. This make the students to be more copetetive in terms of Job market due to their experinece. The academic requiremets in MTSU are very adequate and meet the standards of many employers.

I can honestly say that I have never had a bad professor in my time here at MTSU. I have always learned so much and I have always enjoyed my classes and done well in them. I love taking Honors classes because they are very small and usually strictly discussion-oriented. The most unique classes I've taken have been toward my Theatre minor. I have taken Make-Up class and Storytelling. Amazingly, I learned so much in both! The recording industry program also offers some very interesting classes that are unique to MTSU.
