College of Charleston Top Questions

Some of my professors know my name. I've had some of them more than once now, and some of my classes are pretty small. I am currently in 4 classes this semester, and with the exception of one lower level accounting class which is in a lecture hall, my class size is around 30 max.

I love the class size and how each professor knows your name. I think that science classes are harder to get to know the professor unless you make an effort to get to know your professor. I love the variety of classes available and how COFC is a liberal arts school. The science department here is very difficult but if you study enough, you will do fine.

Cofc just got credited with Ivy League status academic wise, but does not have the money to completely become an Ivy League school. The Academics are great and very diverse. This is a great school for science, hospitality and business, and education.

I am in the Honors College so two out of my six courses this semester are with other Honors students; these classes are a little more difficult and a bit more personal. However, in all of my classes, the teacher knows my name. I have not taken lecture classes yet, however. The professors are very knowledgeable and passionate in their fields. They like to teach and this makes the subject matter more interesting. I really like the teachers here. One thing that bugs me in some of my classes is that students don't ask all that many questions. This was a surprise to me coming from a liberal high school right outside of Boston, Massachusetts. I have not spent much time with professors outside of class, but I have gone to a couple of my professors' office hours to seek help. They always offer opportunities to talk about anything a student is concerned about. Students definitely have intellectual conversations outside of class, but once again, I am in the Honors College so I have an experience that's a bit different.

the library is very popular! i really like a lot of my professors. class size tends to be fairly small. we are a competitive school academically.

most professors know the names of their students. favorite class= health class. least favorite=history. Students study most nights of the week. There is always class participation. Most unique class=theatre. My major is Physical Education, Health Promotions. I dont spend time with my prof.outside of class. All my health classes help with future careers and areas of interest.

Most professors will know your name if you talk to them at least once one on one. My favorite classes are those with the human body such as anatomy/physiology. Students are competitive, but its an unconscious race. I feel like the academic requirements are too low for CofC. They need to be raised to justify the high academic teachings it offers.

Professors know my name and remember it semesters afterwards. I feel like students really do study a lot, even though of the party school stereotype. I really feel like the school does a lot for helping students get internships and jobs.

For the most part professors know you name, but there's the occasional really large lecture class where they don't know ANYONE. Class participation is always encouraged; the professors like to hear what you have to say.

Certain professors and departments are better than others. Communication and Business have a lot of great professors who have a lot of real world experience it just may take a little investigation and experience to figure who fits your learning style the best. Getting the basic introductory classes out of the way fast is the best way to open yourself up to the more specific classes.

Academics at COFC are definitely something to brag about. All of my professors know my name and class participation is a big part of my classes. My favorite class has been anatomy with Prof. Pringle. My least favorite was world history with Brana-Shute. Students are definitely competitive and grades are important. A cofc education will take you far in life.

All of my professors know me by name, and the small class sizes make learning much easier and more personal. Because of the small class sizes, class participation is always necessary and very common.

The professors at CofC are top-notch. I went to a very good public school, and the teachers here rival those. Every one of my teachers knows my name and uses it both in class and when they see me on the street. They are incredibly helpful and really want us to succeede. For example, I am not a math person, and my Calculus teacher stayed up with a few of us till 1:00 am helping us before the exam.

Some professors are amazing, some are awful, and some in between. I think we have great professors, but not a ton of them. When class participation matters, there is a lot of it. Some professors have had a dinner outside of class, but as I said before not many. It would be nice if all professors were open with their students. It makes class easier and more fun when you know your professor better.

Most our professors know our names. They care about our education as much as we do. The education at CofC is geared towards getting a job and getting a all-around great liberal arts education.

Classes are relatively small, promoting a very intimate learning environment for teachers and students. Professors know their students by name and are always willing to meet with students after class. I have actually had a professor invite me to her house for dinner! Many classes are discussion style, which just means that about 10 students sit in a circle and discuss the learning material for that day rather than just sitting through a lecture. This class style encourages healthy debates and challenges students to think for themselves.

Most professors do know your names. Least favorite class - Marketing 302 with Blose. Favorite class - History 102 with Boucher. My friends and I are very competitive and have intellectual conversations outside of class but I can't speak for the rest of the school. I've never spent time with professors outside of class for non-school purposes. Academic requirements are pretty general. It is geared for more towards learning than it is getting a job.

My professors have been great. Each of them knows my name and a bit about me. Some teachers you do have to make more of an effort to know but it is worth it. My favorite class has been History 103 & 104. I've had the same professor twice and he's wonderful. My least favorite class has been Accounting. It's so hard and the teacher isn't that helpful! Class participation is pretty common-most teachers require sometime of oral presentation either solo or in a group. My major is Arts Management and my minor is in Theatre. Both departments are extremely close and I've developed a lot of great relationships.

I study a good amount I feel like, and I feel that the classes are fairly challenging. I feel that CofC trys to prepare you to get a job.
