With the small class sizes at Westminster, your professors will ALWAYS know your name. You are not just a number in an auditorium, you are (insert your name here).
My favorite professor on campus is Dr. Judy Rogers. She teaches Human Anatomy, Comparative Anatomy, Human Physiology, and Comparative Physiology. I have had her for my Human Anatomy and Human Physiology classes.
The best thing about the anatomy lab is that it is very well equipped. The lab contains 2 cadavers for use by the students to help them better learn about the human body.

All of my teachers know my name and they know everyone elses' names to. You have to never come to class for a teacher to not know your name and even then they will know your name becuase your the kid that never shows up. Its fun learning here. The classes are hard but fun.

The best thing about Westmini is the small school environment. Class are never bigger than 35, even during your freshman year. All of your professors will know you by name and this allows for opportunities such as paid summer research.

All viewbooks also give the average class sizes and prof:student ratio. What do you believe? I'll tell you in my LE (generals), I had a cap at around 24 for them all, but sometimes closer to 20. For my upper division classes, I have around 6 kids in my class. (I am a math major though...)
"Do I have to do my homework?"
Unlike in high school where you'll have a quiz on the reading, your professors just expect you to do it. I come to class and the first question is always, what do you guys want to talk about? What were your questions from the reading? Without actually doing the reading, you aren't gonna have any participation, and that's awkward. Class discussions are really guided by the professors but you learn from your classmates.

Good Professors most classes are lecture based with the incorperation of discussions. Free tutoring for almost any class. Professors are very helpful, understanding and personable. Lots of clubs for almost any academic field.

The thing i love about Westminster is how each professor will learn and call you by your name. it is alot more respectful and they will let us call them by there first name as well which i thought was really amazing. students, depending on the time of the week and whether there are tests or finals, spend about 8 hours a week studying. some classes will obviously require more than others though. i love the competitive twist Westminster adds to all the classes. I love the psychology department. the professors are great and i have learned alot

The professors know you by name and are always willing to help. Education is a big deal here, most students are here to do well. Favorite class was indoor climbing, least favorite is biology.

Academic life is very good. the professors care which is a first for college, they want you in class, to succeed, and they want to know the real You. you form some great bonds with teachers.

Since Westminster is a small campus, all of your professors know your name. If they don't know your name, they can at least recognize your face and know how you're doing in the class. Westminster has campus wide goals that promote class discussion. Westminster offers an education that is well-rounded. The academic requirements are a little low, the one thing that could be changed is having a lower incoming freshman class. They are taking over the student living quarters.
