I do not think my professors know my name. My favorite class at UNH is all of my RMP classes. I think they are great. My least favorite were all of my science classes. I think students study alot because the work load is alot. I think that some students are competitive because you always want to do better then your friends. I love the way our classes are taking 4- four credit classes. I feel that I get more out of my classes and really get to in involved with each class.

In my classes, professors know your name since it's such a small major. There are only about 60 students in my grade in my major (mechanical engineering). The students work hard and work together for the most part, because you have to. The work is tough, and some students can get by, but you have to pull your weight to succeed and pass the classes. The classes are well taught, but are not spaced out well in my major. Also, the general education classes are usually extremely easy if you go to class and do a minimal amount of work. It's almost pathetic that we have to take some of them because I think most of the people that go here are capable of much more. Education at UNH is not, in general, geared toward getting a job, which is very frustrating. It's more focused to learning the basics and the techniques and skills needed, and getting a job comes with this. Career services is not helpful in giving students good opportunities for jobs or helping students choose the best company for them. Good internships are hard to come by with career services, and really only are found through knowing a contact within the company.

sie of classes are good.... most are small once you get into your major, i think an education at UNH is better then a lot of other college (of course excluding ivy-league), compared to the otehr school my sisters and friends attend, the academic requirements are the same. i do however, believe the career center could be better.

Freshman classes are too big, but as I got further along, I enjoyed my classes more.

Some of the small classes that I have allow me to build a relationship with my professors but its difficult to succeed in a lecture hall. My favorite classes are Ed 500 and Personality with Bobby Eckstein. My least favorite was Intro to Mass Comm. with B. James. Some students study the night before an exam but lots of my friends study weeks in advance. Students are competitive but I believe it to being a good thing. Again, I wish that we could attain a teaching certificate while going through the undergraduate program.

I like my major classes, gen eds are boring though.

The only professors that know my name are the ones from small classes. If it is a big lecuture there is no chance that they would know my name. My favorite class so far at UNH has defintily been Top promotion and Advertising. It was so interesting and hands on i feel i learned a lot and enjoyed it.

The classes aren't bad really. I haven't had any huge lectures and in the smaller ones the professors are really good at knowing peoples names. Most intro classes are easy which is kind of good since usually they aren't classes anyone is really interested in taking. I think most professors try really hard to get students to participate and if this doesn't work it's only because of the attitude of the students. I'd say every professor I've had has been very accesible either through e-mail or they're more than willing to meet for office hours. I think the academic requirements are good- everyone should have to take core classes to experience everything. More than anything I think all the resources for a successful life during and after college are there, most people just don't utilize them.
