What are the academics like at University of Nevada-Las Vegas?

Andy

Pretty good

Kelly

whenever students need help outside of class most professors are happy to help the student in any way they can; Professors provide good contact information.

Amanda

My favorite class is political science and photography.

I doubt any of my professors know my name except for one who was my Eng 232 instructor. However, I do believe that we have intellectual conversations outside of class. Its really fun to implement some concepts taught in class and break it down in present-day situations. Major/Department I do not spend time with my professors outside of class. I do beieve that the education is geared toward getting a job when you start to go further into your major. The academic requirements are still a little bit vague when it comes to general course credits.

Some professors know students names, only because some classes are smaller than others. Class participation varies from class to class, it's really up to the professor in most cases. You don't have to speak if you don't want to..unless it affects your grade.

All my professors know my name. My favorite is all of them, except Philosophy. Students study very often. There is somewhat class participation. My friends and I have intellectual conservations some times. The education at UNLV will gear you for getting a job.

Sometimes it feels like the academic requirements for each and every single different major tends to be a little ridiculous. General requirements like english and math i understand, but don't make students take bogus classes that no one really needs to take! Like women studies, a physics major honestly doesn't need it!

The only professor I have who isn't solid on my name is my Japanese instructor, who repeatedly confuses my name with an embarassing flower. It makes for a good chuckle.

Nina

The academics at UNLV entirely depends on the department, the class, and especially the professors. I've had amazing professors and then I've had not-so-amazing professors where I felt that it was better to spend the time reading the book instead of attending class.

Mary

Yes most of my professors know my name because i tend to make myself known
