The Sam Walton College of Business is ranked 23 in the nation for business colleges. It is a classy institution with incredible faculty and technology.

you always hear go introduce yourself to the professor. you can, and if you do- they will know your name. be careful when choosing classes that you didn't do well in when you took them in high school--physics, for instance, is much harder and you do have to study and seek out help if you need it.

In some of the large classes at the university, you have to make a point to visit your teacher if you want them to know who you are, but they are always willing to visit with you and get to know you. Most of the teachers are very helpful, you just have to make the effort.

I am now in my major classes so teachers do know me. Students study a lot depending on major. The students are very compeptitive.

Professors generally do not know your name unless your a brown noser and if you are one and they do know your name it is likely that they will forget it by the next semester. Although they are very good professors, for the most part, they just have very large classes.

I have been pretty impressed with the academics at the U of A. I am a Biology major, and I think the classes are pretty good. I wish there were more classes geared toward the medical profession. My classes are usually 50-70 people. Most of my professors don't know my name, but some make an effort to learn everyones name.

Courtney

I love my adviosr, dr. Foote. Most teachers are good. Some are no accomidating.

Abbie

Most professors know my name because i make a point to introduce myself and talk to them on a regular basis. My favorite class was my basic economics class last semester because i've learned more in that class than i ever have in a class. I think that students here often have intellectual conversations out of class, but there are a lot of students who never do. I'm in the Walton College of Business, and i really like all my business classes. I switched my major and know now that this is what i'm supposed to be doing. I know when i get out of college i'm going to have a great degree that is going to get me a good job and get me somewhere in life.

Hunter

I feel like I have a great relationship with my teachers. Most of them know me by name. My favorite class is Spanish, simply because my professor is hilarious. Some students are competitive, but most are very laid back and approachable.

yes i know my professors names..our classes are big but some are small. most of my classes are in huge lecture rooms. but my art classes have about 20 students. yes the students have intellectual conversations outside of class. we arent just a bunch of rednecks! our education is great..our teachers are really invested and want us to actually learn something not just pass or get a job etc...
