My favorite class is my calculus class because my professor does a great job making sure everyone understands the material!

As in any school the teachers are divers. I encountered teachers that will go the extra mile to help you understand the subject and I have also met teachers that couldn't care less. Thankfully those that couldn't care less are few and far between. One thing common among all teachers, though, is they all know there subject and are easily recognized as someone who knows their field.

Academics are one of the reasons I chose to a attend the University of South Carolina. No matter what you want to study, this University will most likely have it. They offer a plethora of majors from Business to Sport Management and from Journalism to Biochemical Engineering. All the professors that I've had to date have been wonderful. I feel like I have improved in every aspect and especially English, which is vital for my major. The professors will do whatever they can to help you achieve your desired grade by being available outside of class and providing you with SI sessions, which are led by a student leader that made a high grade in that class the prior semester. Students spent a good amount of time studying and, especially, during midterms and finals which makes it extremely difficult to find a place to study in the library. There are a good number of lecture classes which require less class participation than smaller classes. Even then, professors will try to answer any questions you may have to help you better understand the subject. As far as my major/department, I'm a public relations major and couldn't see my self changing it. I absolutely love all the faculty at the journalism school and wish I could've taken them for non-journalism classes as well. The academic requirements are not too challenging, but do require that you perform well before you get here. As far as what the education is geared toward, it does a fantastic job preparing you for the real world of applying for a job right out of college.

I am an exercise science major with a concentration in motor development. Many of my classes have been lecture classes, so they average about 150-300 people. For these classes the teachers usually do not know the students name, I would be very impressed if they did. In one of my exercise science classes the teacher does call names off the role for students to answer questions. My english and math classes have been on the smaller scale. These are the classes that the teachers call role and usually know your name. These classes tend to be more fun, because there is more participation. I also work alot in groups in my english class. Studying is required for most classes if you want to do good, but it is not nearly as bad as students make it out to be. If you just take the time to study without any distractions then the material is usally easy to learn. I think a good many students are competitive with their grades among their friends. I know my friends and I always try to out do each other for the best grades.

Professors here are capable and responsible,communication is easy. I'd say the students here aren't that competitive My favorite class is Calculus, the professor is easygoing, his method of teaching really makes it effective to learn math. The school has a very good career center that helps students to get started with there first job or simply on campus employments.

Academics at SC are great! There are small classes if that is what your prefer, and there are larger classes if you want to blend in with the class. Some professors learn every students name, others only learn your name if you talk to them outside of class. Like all schools, the amount of time spent studying depends on the student. I am pre-med, so I study A LOT, but it depends on you! You can really take any class you want, you can even create a class if it isn't offered. College is geared towards you, so what you want out of it and what you put in are what you get.
