University of Arkansas Top Questions

At Arkansas, there are classes for just about anything imaginable! I have kept in close contact with all my professors through email, and they all care about their students. Class participation depends on the size of the class. In large classes (around 300 people) it would get hectic if everyone talked, but asking questions are encouraged. In smaller classes we all put in out 2 cents about the topic. All our acedemic programs are very competitive. When you have to have a better GPA then the person sitting next to you to get into the same program, you know better than to not fool around! I am a pre-nursing student and MUST keep my grades up, because there are students with 4.0 out there wanting the same entry into the nursing school as I do! The most unique class I have taken would definately be scube diving. My least favorite class so far has been Western Civ I, which wasn't actually that bad.

My professors know my name and class participation is a must.

I know some of my professors names. I like most of my classes. Fundamentals of Communication is dumb. I love my professor but the class is stupid. I think people talking about important stuff out side of class. I don't spend time with my professors outside of class. I think it is a good balance between learning and getting a job.

The University of Arkansas has great teacher who really care about your future.

I do wish that some of the classes were smaller or if the class is larger that the teachers wouldn't try to draw attention to a particular student.

Like I said the nursing school is not very good, I just started and have wanted to transfer but can't. Other than that I think the academics are very competitive and most of the teachers are good teachers who know alot.

I have fairly big classes this semester. All but one of my professors are great! I am more concerned with sports than having intellectual conversations outside of class

Currently I have 2 professors this semester and neither of them know my name, but that is because they are in very large lecture halls. Over the 2 semesters I have been here I've had several TA's and they know my name, because generally those classes are smaller and I go and ask questions during office hours. My favorite class was Cultural Anthropology, because it opened my eyes up to how other people live and that you shouldn't judge a person by thier culture. In both large and big classes, class participation is common. I've noticed students in the honors program are very competive about grades, but it varies in regular classes. Arkansas' academic requirments are not hard to be met. Basically if people stay focused and get their work done as well as don't change their major a lot they will finish in 4 years. I personally feel the education you recieve here is what you make of it. People have to be self motivated to do the work and go to class. No one is holding your hand or sending you e-mail telling you to show up for class an do your work. This is a big school if you don't do your work and don't go to class no one cares, you'll probably just gulide by.

All of my professors know my name and they stop to say hello outside of a classroom setting. Students study quite often, especially around the midterm and finals periods. I'm an Agriculture Business major who is focusing on a Pre Law emphasis.

It's well rounded. There are classes for everything! your teachers will know you. The teachers are nice and want to help you. I know I will feel prepared to do my job well when I get out into the work area.
