Much harder than everyone says and classes only get harder the further you get!

My Biology professor has over 200 students in our class and he knows everyone by name. Good experiences so far.

Academics have been been great so far. Every teacher i have had has been eager and more than willing to help if i have ever had a problem with the specific subject.

The academics at Auburn are great, but just like any school you have your good and bad teachers. My least favorite class is Human Odyssey. This is a class that is offered as a substitute for World History and is supposed to be easier. This course includes two meetings in the classroom and then a lab where you will listen to a speaker or watch a movie. The issue in this class is the fact that its opinionated and the teachers do not know what their talking about. So when you have a test and you write an essay on a topic and how you perceive it and it is not how the professor sees it than you get no credit. Auburn's education is both geared for getting a job and learning for its own sake. For instance, before you even get into your major classes one has to complete so many credit hours. These classes are just your basic core class and to be honest I think they are pointless, but to have three science requirements that have nothing to do with your major is pointless. I think that Auburn needs to arrange their core classes where they are useful to a students major.

The library is always packed at night during the week. Around finals time is the worst because its so hard to find a good place to study and the internet is slow because so many people are trying to use it at once. I really like my Chemistry lab because the experiments are interesting and physically doing them helps me to understand the concepts. I am a Pre-Med major so the classes are not easy. I see my professors outside of class sometimes if i have questions about something i dont understand or to ask them to edit an essay.

the good professors know your name...i think that auburn changes the required classes to graduate in the college of busisness too much

Academics are good... Math teachers stink

PRETTY HARD!

Auburn is known for their incredible academics and excellent professors. However, a lot of professors do not know my name unfortunately, but that is my fault. My major is Exercise Science, and I would love to go to Physical Therapy school. I don't have one favorite class or least favorite yet. Students here at Auburn do study a lot and are very competitive. They want you to become something after college and make Auburn proud. Learning is the main goal.

I have taken many classes here, large and small, and they have all had at least one good aspect about them. Although Auburn has many students, I know many, many professors who know students by name and are quick to ask them about personal aspects of their lives. The vast majority of professors here really do seem to care about students and enjoy teaching. All of the professors I have had have welcomed me into their offices and provided academic help whenever needed. Some of the favorite classes I have taken have been World History, Reproductive Physiology, and other classes within my major (Animal Sciences -PreVet). My least favorite classes have been Art History and Organic Chemistry. Being a student within the College of Agriculture has allowed me to be in close contact with knowledgable professors who are hard working and truly care about their students and want to get to know them personally.
