University of Houston Top Questions

My professors know my name, at least my math professor does. My favorite classes have been with her in Math 3304, Math 3305, and Math 3306. Her name is Ms. Leigh HOllyer. The most unique class I've takin was Children's Literature and it was really awesome. My major/department is Education. The advising for undergraduates is HORRIBLE. Just flat out horrible. Everyone has a very difficult time with all three of the advisors.

Most of my professors know my name, they all at least know my face. Being an English major I have the luxury of more intimate classes. My favorite calls is a hybrid class about Chaucer. The blend of technology and traditional teaching is great! My least favorite was Biology, I'm not good at it and have very little interest in it, but the professor recognized that and graded accordingly. Class participation varies class to class, but if the class set up allows for it, the students participate. You overhear a lot of "coffee house" conversations around campus, students debate literature, philosophy, talk about their latest lab, and fight over favorite sports teams. I'm an English major with an emphasis in Creative Writing. The classes are great, but a little over crowded. The college could do with a few extra sections a semester. It's hard to have a workshop with over 20 students. UH's academic requirements are inconsistent. It feels like Liberal Arts majors bear the brunt of the "well rounded" education, having to take many classes outside our field as apposed to the science/technology types who get more of a chance to focus on their specif field of study. Fine print is a favorite tool in the Liberal Arts college. You have to check, double check, and triple check every detail of your graduation plan. They would rather make you stay an extra semester to take a similar class to the one you just took than let the similar class substitute the credit.
