University of South Florida-Main Campus Top Questions

Class participations is common in smaller classes. I guess since accounting is straightforward, not much to talk about just questions :) Requirements are adequate. Education for most teachers is geared toward learning, that way you are guaranteed a job.

Yes professors know my name. Favorite class is basically all of them this semester. Most of the Communication classes are a pleasure. Least favorite is Intro to Comm as Performanc. Class participation is VERY common. LOVE my major, the department and the professors. Visit every so often with professors outside of class. Some classes are just learning for its own sake. Others are geared towards getting a job, especially any class with Dr. Pettegrew.

Yes they do, but more easily if the classes arent lectures. Depends on the students whether they study or not. People skip if they know they wont get marked down for it. Yet again it depends on the students whether or not they have intellectual convos. The requirements are ok. I say hi sometimes to my professors outside of class if I like them enough.

My professors make an extra effort to know who the class is and help them on a personable matter. One class, Algebra is a very large class, but twice a week we meet with a TA that can really help us understand and it's such an informal and easy class. I love it. My band director knew who everyone was by the second day. I'm taking Gerontology now. It is very interesting, and a lot of fun. You can take about anything you are interested in, and most likely it will somehow fit into your major.

All of my professors know my name and are very willing to answer questions. There are a lot of unique classes in my major- i often run into professors or TAs in the library and we have a cup of coffee

My professors were generally really good. All my professors know my name, and the class size is great. The students aren't that competitive and at least in the undergraduate classes, students don't care to much about the actually application of their degree. I still affirm that USF needs to encourage its professors to set high academic standards and to enforce them.

All of my professors know my name. My favorite class at USF was Race, Class and Emotions. My least favorite was American History. Participation always occurs in my classroom.

My professors do know my name, my favorite class is persuasion because i learn new aspect of persuading. I hated Enviromental Science, i had a bad TA.I stusent a few hours a day.In most classes participation is common.Students do have intellectual conversation outside the classroom setting.I do not think students are not really competitive. I am a Communicatin major, and the epartment emphasize on different theories kf communication. I do spend a lot of time with my professors The USF requirments are strict and will become tougher to control student population.

There are some very bright and engaging professors at USF; you just gotta know where to find them, and which classes to take. I think classes out here are just like classes elsewhere- some great, some okay, some you can live without. USF need's to do better at preparing students for careers, instead of just letting students go through the motions of getting a degree and no advice or guidance for getting further ahead.

My favorite class was Communication as Performance. The teacher I had was so great. We spent a lot of time outside of the classroom. The weather is nice down here all year, so it's great to be outside! The professors here usually know your name, unless you're in a big lecture class. Most students end up in one of these classes a few times, but if you go to class on a regular basis, the teacher will definitely get to know you. Class participation is very common among USF students. The classes with debates are really fun because everyone gets involved. You can tell that students usually come prepared to class, whether it is doing the reading or the worksheets. You can always tell who hasn't come prepared because of the teacher-student interactions in class. The most unique class I have taken is my Communicating Gender & Identity course. We're currently discussing the concept of identity and what it means to classify yourself under certain categories. The topics are really controversial, but the material is interesting. I am in the Communication Department. My major is Interpersonal/Organizational Communication. I LOVE this major. All of the comm students are like a big family. We collaborate on assignments and do a lot of groupwork. You can definitely count on the students that study this major. I am also minoring in Psychology. They just built a brand new Psych building. The staff in this minor is also fantastic. You get to choose from a lot of interesting classes. The professors are always available for office hours when you have problems. They are there to clarify concepts that you don't understand. Also, they are great about missed classes and assignment make-ups. Every college (business, math, science) at USF has different academic requirements. You have to take core classes, but once you get into your major (which can happen quickly), the classes are interesting and practical. USF combines post-college prep and a good learning experience. You get to learn about a lot of "real-world" issues, but you also have a great opportunity to prepare for the working world.
