University of Arkansas Top Questions

The learning enviornment is pretty inspiring around here. Most classes the student to teacher ratio is at a really good number. There are only a few big lecture classes. They aren't too bad, but it's harder to ask questions in those classes.

I was surprised when most of my classes never toped 100, I just kind of figured they would be that big because of how big the school is. I'm glad they aren't that big because I'm used to having 20 people at the most.

Some of my classes at Fayetteville have been large lecture classes where the teacher has no idea who I am, but I have also taken honors classes where the teacher always notices when I am not in class. The honors classes are definately my favorite, even though they are considerably harder. I feel as if I make a better connection with the professor, as well as the students in my classes, in a smaller setting. I have to study an extremely large amount compared to a lot of my friends. Because I am taking honors classes, I always have homework. Students are very competitive, especially in the harder majors. Outside of class, there are plenty of opportunities to discuss your ideas and theories about anything you desire.

Maybe it's because I'm still a freshman, but I feel like I've only had a few REAL professors. I've only had one that made a real impact on me so far, Dr. Erickson. I took her Cultural Anthropology class and it definitely made an impression on me. She is amazing!

At the University of Arkansas the professors try to get to know each student and find a way to help them if they have any questions or suggestions for their teaching styles. They are very friendly and try to teach by their syllabus and text books.

Some of my professors know my name, but this semester, they should definitely be doing a better job considering the classes are much smaller since I am a senior and I have been around 4 years now. My least favorite class is Sports Information. Sounds like it should be interesting but it is not at all. I have a terrible teacher who has never taught before and he just stands in front of the class and rants about what he does in his job.

I am a communications major and I feel my classes are moderate and of a good size.

Some of the professors that have large class sizes don't know your name, but that is understandable with the class sizes being so large

Favorite class- Busines Law Least Favorite- Financial Resources

A few of my professors know my name, but I am in a couple of large classes, so I don't expect them to remember me. MY favorite class is Anthropology. Mr. Nolan is an amazing teacher. I feel that he gets the point across to all 300 students every class, which is a hard thing to do.
