Chestnut Hill College Top Questions

I'm an education major here at CHC, so I'm currently in my Practicum semester. This means that for one of my classes I get to go to an elementary school in the area and observe and teach lessons. This is really cool and a really great experience. They always say that you never know how much or how little you're going to like teaching until you get in front of the classroom and CHC's practicum class allows you to get that experience! I'm also taking a Methods class in which we talk about different methods of teaching. I am, of course going to be using a lot of these strategies in the future. In addition to these classes I'm taking a Shakespeare class, we read the plays, watch the movies, and in terpret some scenes on our own. It's a pretty good class, and Shakespeare is always a classic.

I feel like I have learned so much in class because not only am I learning from the professor but the classes are so small that you have great discussions and it gives you a chance to learn what other people think.

My classes usually have anywhere between 15-25 students. This means more individualized attention. I tend to grasp the information better when in a smaller class size. I find a lot of the students that choose Chestnut Hill College feel the same way. My classes are challenging enough so I am not bored to death, but not too terrible where I want to pull out my hair because I had to pull 3 all-nighters to get my work done. I have never had to pull an all-nighter while here at Chestnut Hill. The professors give you plenty of time to get your work done, and are willing to help at any time.
