I think that Auburn academics are very strong. I am in pre-nursing right now and I know that getting into Nursing is a very hard task. The program is very competitive and students are well prepared when they leave. I believe the nursing curriculum is very well put together and the classes taken will benefit you in the long run.

Most of my professors know my name. Also, I have enjoyed every major class I have taken so far; math and science cores have been a pain though.

My favorite class is definitely Micro with Mr. Finck because he is so fun and a great teacher. Students study different amounts and I am in the library a lot for my different classes. Class participation is much more common in smaller classes than in auditorium classes. I would say that the education at Auburn is definitely geared toward getting a job. In my major (business) they offer different courses that have speakers and new people come in to help you get clued in and find out what type of job in that major would be the best match for you.

In my small classes my professors know me, but not in the larger ones. I don't have a favorite class. Ethics is my least favorite because it's very hard to understand. Students study enough. My major is RTVF and i love it. I love the department of Communication and Journalism. The education is aimed at both learning and training for the real world.

Some of my professors know my name in the smaller classes but most of my classes are very big. my favorite part about classes is that most of the teachers make them interestering. students are competitive about their grades. the most unique class I have taken is auburn experience. the classes are geared toward getting a job

In certian classes my teachers know my name, others don't. It really depends on the class size or the teacher. Some teachers don't care to know who we are. I'm not the type to go talk to a teacher on a regular basis, so some of my teachers don't know me. My favorite class in college was the history class I had to take for my core requirements with Dr. Kicklighter. He is the best teacher I have had. Least favorite would have to be Business Law or Principles of Marketing. Boring! I personally study all the time this semester because I have had at least on test each week, and I cannot afford to get bad grades. Class participation depends on the teacher. Some teachers like that, others just read from slides. Students are always competitive whether or not they show it. No one wants to hear that the kid sitting next to them did better on a test.
I'm a Finance major and it is very challenging, but I think it should be. I dont spend time with professors outside of class, unless I go to their office for help. I hope that the classes I'm taking will prepare me for my job after college, but I won't know that until I get that job. But I feel that the professors are teaching us the basics to prepare us.

I love my major because I love knowing that I am getting one of the best educations in my major that I can. All of the classes I have taken I have loved except math and computer. The academic requirements are confusing because, even though everyone has the same Auburn requirements, it seems as though different classes are required. For example, I am only allowed to take Physics, or Chemistry yet I know many people that are taking other science classes.

My major is Apparel Design in the Human Sciences college. Human Sciences is a wonderful college. Everyone is very helpful and it is very close knit. I have had the same classes with the same people since freshman year so you kind of feel like a team getting through all of you classes together. Professors in my college are willing to help with whatever you need, classes are fun but you must study. Just like any other college, it depends on what kind of student you are but everyone has to study to get through. We have the second largest library in the nation. It is always packed but by far the best place to get stuff done. You would usually be able to find someone in your class there if you ever had a question. It is open 24 hours during exams.

In most of my classes professors do not know people by name. I enjoy my smaller classes best and I wish that all classes were that way especially science classes. My favorite class so far has been Sociology and my least favorite has been Chemistry. Students study quite a bit here on campus and class participation is not very common. I have yet to have a very intellectual conversation with a student outside of class and I feel that a lot of students are very competitive.
