Quinnipiac University Top Questions

adjunct teachers are not always qualified or motivated as they should. attendance policies on some classes are ridiculous. Dr Heiferman is the best teacher i probably have taken at this school. He really "gets" it as he doesnt try to trick his students like many do.

I've really enjoyed my classes at QU. In order to have intellectual conversations outside of the class room you have to surround yourself with the right people. My professors have been a great aid in helping secure my future. They've helped me with graduate school applications and helped me to look for jobs.

Class size is about 20. Professors know you and provide you with great opportunities. Class participation increases throughout the years (mostly because freshman tend to be shy). Students are not very competitive. Classes are interesting and varied. My major was psychology undergrad and I was in the 5-year masters program for elementary education. The education program is GREAT! I am looking for a job now and people are SO impressed with what I know. Psychology was a good program because you can explore different concentrations (I/O, child development, social services). Quinnipiac has increased their academic requirements recently. Students are very well-rounded. Education is set up to prepare you for a job. Great internship and other opportunities. These are personalized because professors know all about you.

Quinnipiac says that thier average class size is something like 25 kids in a class, and although I have never once been in a class with that number, never have I been in a class with more than 35 students. For the most part all the professors know your name, although I have had a few really old ones that dont even bother.

Classes are a great size, the teachers are helpful and seem to really put in effort to have a relationship with their students. The school is very competitive in nature, and the curriculums are extremely challenging, but worth it. In the long run I feel I will personally have more to bring to the table when applying for jobs after graduation. Every teacher I've had so far has been more than happy to help me outside of class, especially if I'm interested in declaring a double major or a minor. The workload is very intense, but doable and worth the effort.

I liked the academics at Quinnipiac. I felt that the classes were interesting but that only some people did their work. I liked my professors and felt that they were available for help in general. I liked that the classes were small because if they weren't, I probably wouldn't have gone as much. I didn't think that the liberal arts students were that competitive, I'm sure some of the health science kids were way more competitive. I thought that the requirements were fine, not too hard but not too easy. I felt like my education was geared toward learning but I was in liberal arts so it's not like I was a marketing major.

it differs, but several of my classes have been roundtable style, and speaking up is greatly embraced by students and staff. there will always be the boring old senile professors, but for the most part quinnipiac is about providing a real-world education--i dig it

Classes here are a combination of extremely difficult, extremely easy, and extremely menial. There are teachers who will give you the time of day, teach you a valuable lesson, and help you along, without giving you a bad grade for this or that. However, there are also teachers who have been here so long that it's their way or no way. The programs here are very well rounded, and I would reccomend this school primarily for the intensive English program. OH this school also requires a QU class, which is worth 3 credits each, and you basically learn nothing from it. It's a very pointless class. Other than that, the classes are actually quite nice! very good size and great feedback from teachers. I remember one day I was stuck on an paper, so I emailed my teacher for assistance, and within an hour, he sent me back a whole two pages with suggestions tailor specifically for my paper.

Classes are a convenient size, especially in the media production major. I have an average of 8 to 10 kids in my production classes, which leaves my opportunities wide open. classes require attendance and place very heavy penalty on frequent tardiness and absence, which can become a problem seeing as college students have lives just like everyone else. education is a good mix of knowledge and preparation for a career.

Classes are small, ranging from about 15 to 30 students. Sometimes sections are combined and there is 50 students, but never more than that. Most of my professors knew my name without having to ask. Students are always in the library so studying occurs always, depending on their schedule and study habits. Depending on the class, participation is common. Quinnipiac holds high standards for their students.
