In my smaller classes teachers will know my name, but in my bigger classes they only know my name if I am constantly e-mailing them because I didn't understand something in class. I have really liked all of my English and World Literature classes. They start out as a pain because they all have mandatory attendance and require a lot of work, but the teachers are all really good. I only study right before tests and quizzes because that is what works for me but I know people who study all the time.

I feel that Auburn students do put a lot of effort into their academics. However, you always will have those select few who are the over achievers. I definitely can say I'm one of those students who constantly had to study everyday but also manage my extracurricular activities. It was hard, but I think Auburn has great teachers who help you grow academically and teach you to really go outside your normal boundaries. I really have felt challenged to be the best student I can be while attending Auburn and I feel like I'm ready for the real world now.

I feel that auburn professors try to maintain a closeness with their current students and are easy to stay in touch with. I feel that I do the best in classes that keep my interest and ones that I'm not so interested in I do not do as well. I feel that one of the most unique classes I took was my chemistry lab because it was interesting to see all the different reactions. I felt that this was unique but I enjoy my government classes the most considering that I would like to attend law school one day. I feel that I have been able to keep in touch with professors so hopefully they can write me a rec.

I love the academics but i wish that there was a better way to register for classes. Its such a hassle and you feel like you dont ever get what you want. I think there needs to be more classes at auburn.

Most of my proffesors do not know my name unless it is a small class. My favorite class was sociology. My teachers were two GTAs who were so good at relating the material to subjects that helped us understand! I do have intellectual conversations outside of class..about politics or religion, and numerous other things. My major is psychology; I've only taken one class but I absolutley loved it! I can't wait to take another one! I don't spend much time with my proffeseurs outside of class..some are more approachable than others. So far I feel like the education is mroe learning for learning's sake. I think the academic requirements are attainable but difficult.

I study pretty often and I go to class on a regular basis. I am a journalism major in the College of Liberal Arts. I do not spend time with professors outside of class.

Auburn has a great education program, and is a reason why I came to Auburn.

Some of my professors know my name. My favorite class was my Accounting class. My least favorite is Macroeconomics. Students study different amounts of time. Class participation is very common because if there is none, we will most likely be given a quiz right then! Students are very competitive. Auburn's academic requirements are excellent! The education can be geared towards any way you want to take it- I gear it towards doing well so I can get a good job when I graduate.

I have loved the academics at Auburn and love most of the professors. I do wish I had had a little more guidance from my counselor in my decisions about my major and my classes. I LOVED the women's self defense class.

I am in the architecture program and love my classes. My professors definitely know my name and take interest in my learning. Our student advisors are the BEST. They are always extremely helpful and get you into the classes you need to get into. They also listen to your concerns about teachers or classes. I do wish that the architecture school would spend more money on high tech equipment to further our capacity to make our projects the best they can be.
