Colorado State University-Fort Collins Top Questions

I love the classes here, I feel like all of the professors are really friendly and proffesional and know what they are talking about. If you're going to class then there is not reason why you should not be getting a good grade.

About half of my professors have known me by name, which I really like. My favorite class so far has been a Survey of Human Nutrition. It would have been straight forward memorization if it hadn't been for my teacher's enthusiasm for the class. His name was Gary Auld by the way...and you should take his class because it's pretty much the shit. And it relates to your own eating habits, not like most classes that you are learning just to learn facts. My new roomate is pretty crazy about studying...that's pretty much all she does when she's not in class or at church. But most people aren't like her and have some sort of social life. Actually, no one is like her because she's insane.

Academics at CSU, Overall I like the academics here. I really enjoyed several of my classes including HES 479- Physchology and Sport. I had a great Professor, who actually took the time to learn all of our names. (147 students in the class) we would have random quizzes for attendance purpouses, but class was so enjoyable that I actually looked forward to going. I have had several other classes like this one, Chem for example. On the other hand since classes are so big (some with 100-200 people) it is a challenge to be known by your professor, usually you need to be an A student who goes in regularly and speaks with the professor. But Typically If you want to talk to your professor, they are usually always willing to talk to you, and help you if you need help, and point you in the direction of where to go for help. One thing I do not like about CSU is our counselers... I feel like they give you the run around and advise you in ways that you will be stuck in school for 5 or 6 years.,.. (which can cost a lot of money) I for one took the inititive to find out what classes i need to tlak and when on my own, and from other students who are in my major. Since I had no help, or bad advice from counselors the first 2 years of college.

Do professors know my name: Few science professors (from pre-dental courses) knew my name, although those were lecture halls and the respective labs/recitation. Business professors and Honors professors make a point of learning my name. Theatre professors learn my name because I work with them outside of the classroom as much as I do in the classroom. Class particpation: is not common. Many students are stuck in the "too cool" attitude of high school and have forgotten that they are paying to learn. CSU students as a general whole do not have intellectual conversations outside of class; certain circles of friends, however, do. Certain students are competitive depending on the department. Pre Vet and Honors students are competitve. Business students somewhat competitive. Theatre students are competitive. Most unique class I've taken: none of the above? Maybe MoveIt! Honors Seminar with Francie Glycenfer. Business Majors/Department: I'm new, this semester, to the dept but so far am extremely impressed with the facilities, classroom equipment and student benefits, and attentiveness of the teachers. Theatre Major/Department: The teachers are extremely dedicated to the students and the department. They put in extra hours and unusual care for their classes AND the shows that they work on. Also, theatre teachers are directing us, designing for us, acting as design consultants, and overseeing the construction and mounting of shows during the year and in the summer. Students often invite teachers to their holiday, celebration, and even birthday parties. CSU's academic requirements are not overly challenging; they are certainly manageable and acceptable for a school with its entrance requirements. Education at CSU is geared toward getting a job.

Professors depend on who you get I guess they are either really sweet or nazis. They are almost always willing to help you out of class thought. Some students are competetive, some are not you usually get a good mix in your classes.

don't know

Classes at CSU are pretty typical with what i imagined college being. There are large classes that are in huge rooms, tiny classes in small rooms, and middle sized classes. I feel like the professors are very knowledgable and are giving the students a firm grasp of the concepts. I have had good class participation because the profs encourage disscussions. The library is used a lot and students do a lot of studying there. I feel that the students are very focused here and take school very seriously.

Some of the professors know my name, depending on the classroom size. I think that the professors do a really good job at trying to memorize their students name because I can only imagine how hard it would be to memorize so many students names and in so many different class periods. My favorite class would have to be psychology because of my professor. He always keeps things interesting and funny, making it a lot easier to pay attention and learn. I would have to say that first aid and emergency care would be a close second because it is very interactive and I have a very fun class and instructor.

I study quite often because the result is good grades. Right now my favorite class Geography 100. Reason being the professor makes the class interesting. My least favorite class is Stats 204, because the instructor does not know how to teach.

My favorite class was the psychology course i took last semester. The professor made it really interesting by talking about real life situations that applied to the topics. He also had a good sense of humor which created a good atmosphere for learning.
