CUNY Bernard M Baruch College Top Questions

TAKE AP CALCULUS BEFORE YOU GET TO BARUCH... my only advice

Professors do know your name depending on class size. Favorite class was Social Psychology. Students do study a lot, well some do - - I don't because I'm too cool to waste my time studying; I'd rather fill out random forms like this one instead. Students are competitive, if not it doesn't look too good as a whole for the school because you would have kids who don't care about school at all. There are good requirements academically. The harder they are, the better the school name in comparison with other universities. Baruch is geared to getting a job through your learning while attending.

The majority of the professors care, or they act like they do. Some insist on conferences outside of class and some just let you live your lives.

Not all professors know your name because of the huge amount of students that are in the lecture halls but they try their best to keep up with attendance and keep some kind of organized record to better know you. I don't havea fvorite class as of yet but hopefully in the future that will come up. The most unique class I have taken is Anthropology. Anthropology is actually an interesting class and it allows you to obsereve and have a better respect for the rest of the cultures that exist out there. My major is Accounting. Hopefully I want to become a CPA, but if not I would like to do Forensic Accounting. But I don't think Baruch offers that program. Professors try to make time to add students in their book if they have any complaints or questions. This becomes really helpful, especially when the grades ocme through. The education at Baruch s geared toward getting a job but also learing and building yourself from the ground up. Its not only about passing classes but its also about placement and how you manage your time and effort to be waht you want to be and also have some sense of being proud of yourself for accomplishing your goals.

The professors of the smaller classes learn names, but within a 500 seat lecture class, they don't get around to it. Which is understandable. Class participation is common, especially in classes with a higher opinion base, such as Anthropology or Philosophy. My least favorite class has been my English 2150 class. It was supposed to be a writing class, but we did barely any writing. Some classes at Baruch are like that. The course descriptions do not match up with the actual courses at all, which is very disappointing. Students don't seem to study much, and don't take classes too seriously. A lot of Baruch is like high school all over again. The education at Baruch is a lot more geared towards learning for its own sake, which is not necessarily a bad thing, however i would prefer to obtain some real-life knowledge as well.

Students are driven to succeed at Baruch. Business majors tend to have that mindset. But, I find that my classes are interesting and engaging. Professors know your name if you make the effort in class to participate. I tend to participate a lot and so professors have usually caught my name and even stopped me in the halls to talk and get to know me beyond the classroom. Baruch has some strict GPA requirements, especially for the Honors Program because in order to maintain your scholarship you must keep a 3.55 GPA or something around that. However, Baruch well prepares you for the business world. The classes are great in business and really prepare you well for a career in the field.

I currently major in accounting, but have not taken any courses in that field thus far. Despite this, I have had alright to great teachers. Last semester my classes were much smaller, so all of my teachers knew their students' names. On the contrary, I have nothing but lecture classes my second semester so it is almost impossible for a teacher to remember the names of 100-300 students. Despite this, class participation is common, and I still sense a bit of healthy competition in the air. Outside of class I have had several intellectual conversations, especially after having my Introduction to Sociology class last semester. The teacher's name is Ms.Jones, and she is by far my favorite teacher of my favorite class so far. She was young, cool, funny, but also a fair grader. Outside of class, I actually had the opportunity to attend a Broadway show with 2 of my teachers, which was very fun. As for the academic requirements, I think that they are fair. The overall education at Baruch is indeed geared towards getting a job, and the school's name rings bells at all major businesses throughout NYC, and probably beyond.

Many classes with a few exceptions are reasonable. Obviously those students that are outspoken and ask and answer questions will get their names known. In your freshman year, you will experience some classes in a 300 or 500 seat classroom since these classes are common for all incoming students regardless of your intended major. As you move up the academic ladder and by your senior year many classes are about 25-30 students each. The best thing about Baruch is when final week come by and the library being open 24 hours to give students the necessary location and time to study for their exams. Many professors at the school have their Ph.D and will either have office hours or will make time available for students if necessary.

Yes professors do know my name. My favorite class would have to be English. My least favorite is Math because of its difficulty and challenge. Students in Baruch college are very studious and class participation is common in all of my classes. We of course have conversations outside of class and we are also given many group assignments that are productive. We also enhance our business skills in each class and we are encouraged to be an individual, to have a voice and to speak out. I think Baruch's academic requirements are on par because many people I know try to come into Baruch and to be in Baruch you do have a lot of challenges and you are motivated to work harder. We study sometimes with sleepness nights for exams and papers but the hard work does pay off because we acquire a lot of knowledge. Yes, Baruch is the only CUNY college so far that I know of that has a lot of graduates that are certified a job when they graduate.

The professors are very friendly and helpful for the most part. It would help if all of them knew how to speak english. Come on, we learned, why can't they?
