What are the academics like at University of Delaware?

Kristen

Yes they do. My favorite class was my history 103 class and my teach knew all of our names and i really was interested in learning everything she had to talk about. My least favorite class was History 101 because my professor was horrible and mean and he made rude comments about women and would not let the students sniffle in his classroom. very often. I always participate. yes they do.

im in a small department so the professors know my name. usually freshman and sophomore year you're in big lectures so the professor's won't know your name...

Professors of my smaller classes know my name. My favorite class right now is Physiology of Activity. It's my favorite because the teacher is very knowledgeable and nice, and it's interesting. My least favorite class is Neuromuscular Basics of Human Movement, because it's at 8 am in the morning. Class participation is common. UD students do have intellectual conversations outside of class. Students in my major are very competitive. Up to this point i haven't really taken any unique classes, but i'm looking forward to senior year.

Professors know my name because I participate. My favorite class right now is my ENGL480 seminar, and my least favorite is EDUC414. Students' study times varies from student to student--some 7 hours or so a day to none. Class participation is big in smaller classes as opposed to lecture halls.

Professors don't really know my name. Students study alot. Work hard/play hard atmosphere.

professors know your name if you go for extra help or if you have them for more than one class. other than that, the classes are pretty big lectures so teachers don't know your name. my favorite classes are ones i'm actually interested in not just requirements. my least favorite classes are ones that i am required to take by the university that don't interest me at all. my major's for getting a job because i'm a bio major so a lot of it focuses getting ready for the mcats or grad school. many students in my major are competetive i don't know about other majors though.

professors know your name if you make a point to have them know your name by participating, asking questions, going to office hours. Most students spend a good amount of time studying, but some don't at all. As a math education major i think UD required courses are absolutely rediculous, do not pertain to me and are unnecessarily hard. The most unique class ive taken is Linguistics. class participation is pretty common (def depends on teacher and subject though).

Allie

Professors know my name in my smaller more major-oriented classes. My favorite class has been either Lead209 which has taught me to be a skilled presenter, and Lead311 which is human resources where we had to create a company and consider all the elements of a business. The leadership major is up and coming at UD and all across the country. At first it started as just a major I chose because I didn't get accepted into my previous major, but now I wish I started there from day one of college-I love it! UD makes you take too many breadth requirements and they should include more major-oriented classes that make you more well prepared for your future career.
