for the most part. Favorite class was survey of jewish history or jews in american media. least favorite is italian, an unneccesary GER in my opinion. Students study often out of class. class participation is usually pretty good. Yes, emory students have intellectural conversations out of class. Probably an econ major. No. Academic requirements are okay, too stringent, require very time-consuming classes such as language requirement (every day for an entire year is too much) and science requirements (take up many hours of scheduling) learning for my own sake.

Classes are small. 15 kids in most of my classes. Professors in those classes obviously know my name. Lectures are typically around 60 students.

Most all my professors know my name. Favorite class is US History. Least favorite is Financial Accounting.

I think that the college is geared towards learning for its own sake but the business school is geared towards getting a job and immediate financial gratification.

Professors range from very bad to very good. Some professors are really nice people but horrible teachers, while others are good teachers but not too nice. The better teachers seem to be the harder graders, which doesn't make sense to me because you shouldn't be punished for taking better classes and putting in more work.

Some professors do, and some don't. There is no chance you get to know teachers in bigger classes unless you are proactive, which I would say most kids are not.

Most professors know my name. Class sizes are very benefitial to the students. Ive been in a 27 student chem class and a 150 lecture class.

It combined watching very interesting movies with entertaining war books. My least favorite class is Decision Science- the teacher is unclear.

The work load is managable. I need to work to get good grades, but A's are definitily attainable. There are too many general education requirements and the amount of classes that satisfy each GER is not enough.

Smaller classes professors do no my name, my favorite class would have to be my bio seminar, my least favorite would have to be...I don't really not like any of my classes though my religion class can get dry.

Most professors know my name, many of them stop me to say hello, even if I had them three years ago. Emory has some of the most demanding general education requirements in the country, but I am glad that I took every one of my GERs. With class comments and syllabuses online, it is easy to get information about classes and figure out which ones one is interested in taking. There are many extremely talented professors instructing at Emory. For example, Mel Konner, Frederick Marcus and George Armelagos are fantastic.

Professors know your name in smaller classes, but definitely not in the large lectures. Students study a lot but many go out and drink on Thursday nights. Emory is more of a party school than you'd think. Students at Emory are very competitive. Education is aimed toward getting a job.

Yes, professors do know your name. Class sizes are generally small enough for that to happen and I like that.

We have to and there's really no other way to say it. Yes, Emory students do have intellectual conversations outside of class and I love participating in them because it usually makes me feel very academic and collegiate. I feel an Emory education can be tailored towards whether or not the student is interested in getting a job or learning for its own sake. The general education requirements force you to take classes outside of your discipline and there's no reason for you to be there other than to learn and I like that. Taking classes for fun is encouraged and a lot of students come in with enough AP credit that they can do that.

As I mentioned before, I love the professors at this school. Most of them try really hard to know their students name, which makes us feel special. My favorite class without a doubt is Portuguese 412. I am a Portuguese minor, and I really like my professor. She is originally from Brazil, and she loves to teach others about her country. I think my least favorite class is PE. I workout a lot outside of class, so sometimes it can be really boring going back to the gym twice a day. Students study a lot at this school Most of them are really committed and can spend hours at end trying to get their work done. All nighters are really common amongst students. The most unique class I have taken has to be theater. I really loved the interactivity in the class. I learned so much about myself, and expressing myself in front of others. I am a Journalism major. At first I thought it was going to be an easy, but I was mistaken. Its a lot of writing, and sometimes its a little too much. But Emory has a great Writing Center that helps me with my grammar and organization which has been a big help for me. Education ar Emory is geared toward getting a job. Most of the professors prepare us for our future careers, especially in my field. My professor right now is teaching us about vocalization in case we want to go into broadcast.

My experience in Emory academia revolves around the English department: - Great teachers who are friendly, approachable, and extraordinarily intelligent - I have found the liberal arts education at Emory to be extremely inspiring - Some students have intellectual discussion outside of class. Some students party. - The Business School at Emory is geared for students to find jobs, the liberal arts education is geared toward learning for its own sake
