Quinnipiac University Top Questions

All of the professors knew my name and the education classes at QU were great. My history classes were fun too, but having to take economics and business classes when I am a history/education major was stupid.

One thing I have to say is that QU really emphasizes group work. Whether it's peer-editing in English or a presentation in psychology, you won't go a semester without working with other people. In some situations it's not so bad, like if you really get along with your group or the presentation goes well and you get a good grade. On the other hand, it's rare to get good feedback while peer-editing, and you aren't always assigned a group that works well together.

Class sizes are small and most of the professors I have know my name. Health Sciences majors study all the time, business and comm majors almost never study, liberal arts majors i guess study more than I do. It seems as if the university is moving to toughen its acedemic standards, a lot of the classes I take are hard and grading is hard as well. I don't study much but it dosent mean this place is a cake walk, becuase its not.

Class size is small, but not the advertised number. I believe we say no more than 25 students per class, but that is just the average. There are plenty of classes of 30-40 students but thats really not that bad. Some teachers are amazing here, and some teachers are only around because they can't find anybody else. I know this for a fact because I talk to other teachers about it. Some teachers are really bad, like God-awful, and no matter what the class puts on evaluations, they will be here next year because they can't find anybody to replace them. It's really a shame when you think about how much money youre paying to go to a really bad teacher. I learned absolutly nothing in my English 102 and paid a few thousand for it? The business department is growing and has some very very good teachers, except not in economics! Most teachers in that department are very bad and again they can't find anybody to replace them. Other than that, I've heard great things about most other business teachers. In business, you learn a lot, A LOT, but you really dont do much work, it's pretty nice. Student's aren't really that competitive, there are definetly some slackers and it's not hard to be top in the class, and not that hard to be the dumb kid.

Difficult; not undoable

The teachers are very personable. The classes in my major interest me and all other classes bore me. The work is not overly excessive.

Professors learn your name. Participation occurs but is not completely necessary if you're shy. Some classes are very interesting. Class time and homework can be tough but it's completely balanced by fun, so it's really not bad at all.

Classes are small and individualized so learning is more successful. Most classes are challenging but I have enjoyed most of my professors.

Some of the professors are pretty cool. Just this semester I had a professor cancel class because it was a nice day outside. Then theres the terrible professors that just don't help you succeed. Tip: talk to people before choosing your classes or use www.qureview.com. HAHAHAHA I like this question: "Do Quinnipiac students have intellectual conversations outside of class?" PLEASE! The only thing that these people talk about outside of class is getting laid or drunk. Hmm? Quinnipiac's requirements? Eh, tis ok. I'm not expecting classes titled "Recess" but I'd rather have classes a little easier. Umm oh yeah, don't become a Health Science major if you dont really feel up to it. It's ALOT of work, often resulting in no social life.

Professors could learn names if they wanted to, it depends on the professor. Classes are a good size.
