Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

I have witnessed a large amount of professors trying hard to remember the names of my fellow students. I rarely see competition within classrooms as students hold back to keep themselves in the quiet. They would rather sit back and watch than participate for fear of looking or appearing "dumb" to other students in the classroom. This creates a real problem in large classes where the professor requires a lot of participation. At that point I have seen a lack of REAL response or participation. Students will rephrase other students' responses, ask horribly, easily asked questions, or just respond with their own thought that will contradict something absolutely true in order to gain credit.

There are some teachers who really should not be teaching. They make the class and material more confusing then it has to be and it harms me to go to class and even try to pay attention. But there also are some who make things interesting.

My favorite class is philosophy. We get to be involved in a lot of discussions in that class. My least favorite class is macro economics. Students study a fair amount during the week. Class participation varies with each day during the week.

Well because I'm an international student it's hard for proffesors and other students to know my name, but it's not a big deal. I find most classes interesting and i really like participating in extra credit where i have a chance to higher my grade which is very nice .

Only one of my professors knows my name and I don't like that.

the teachers/professors only know my name in my small classes, which is understandable. i enjoy my spanish classes because the teachers a quirky and fun. i dislike my nrcc class because it's quite large and very boring. i think the academic requirements and pretty legit, pretty basic and understandable. i don't spend time with professors outside of class. i feel like in the business field the education is definitely geared toward getting a job as well as learning for its own sake.

My classes have varied. Some classes have 20 people and others have 200, but each one has been challenging and intriguing. Just in my first semester I feel really comfortable with talking to my teachers, asking for help, and finding out what I need to do to be successful. I look forward to getting into some upper-division classes that pertain more to my declared major.

I would say the professors here are extermaly carring about thier jobs and try to get to know thestudents the come in for help or also ways site in the front.

I really loved my BSPM100 or Bugs class. Professor Whitney is so good! I also love proffessor Chamberlain in NRCC150. The business department is very good and pretty hard to get into and stay into which creates compition among students.

My favorite class so far was my AM 130 class which is Design Appreciation of Apparel & Merchandising. My professor was AWESOME! She set up the class in a nice way so that we could only succeed. She was straight forward and didn't waste our time. If her presentaion was done early, she would let us out rather than holding us there until the last minute of class, like an English professor I had last semester. That class was a pain. The teahcer was a graduate student which did not work too well for me. Another great class is psychology. It is very interesting and I believe very beneficial for everyone to know. Students here range from every type; you have the competitive ones, the lazy ones, and everyone in between. The education here at CSU totally prepares you for getting a job and has amazing resources to help you find that perfect one!
