The teachers at the University are for the most part very helpful. Being a senior I can say that I may have ran into one or two professors that I didn't really care for, but for the rest of them they were helpful, great communicators and tried to teach in a more laid back manner so that students were able to have their input.
One thing that I really liked about many of my classes were the group discussions. The professors made a lot of the topics open for discussion instead of just having us write papers. this let formerly debate our opinion about subjects and hear others opinions and maybe get another perspective about different situations.

Most of my professors seem to know my name and I communicate with many of them on a daily basis. When it comes to the education of a student, the academic opportunities are endless. However, a student can only take advantage of these opportunities if they choose to do so, it will not happen on its own.

Academics are wonderful. I am a transfer student from Bowling Green State University and i know personally that the amount of majors and the dedication each major has towards the betterment of its students in phenominal. BG was very unorganized and it seemed it would have taken me a great deal more work to find a job after college from BG than from UT. UT's academics have made me a better person inside and out and rightfully so i will go into the real world prepared and determined.

The classes at UT range in size depending on the type of class. Most introductory classes contain a large number of students. The one thing I enjoy and that I notice UT does a lot of, is group work in the class setting. I know you hear the word 'group work' and automatically think, "Ughh.. I hateee group work." I felt the same way, but the thing that changed my mind is that the professors here have you evaluate your group in case someone was not doing their fair share of the work. One of my professors actually lets you kick a person out of the group as long as it's before the drop period.
I have also come to love the distance learning courses. Having a class where you can wake up, sit down at your computer in your pajamas and learn is great. UT offers a vast amount of online classes where the instructors make it easy to contact them and you're able to learn in a not-so-serious setting.
My major is marketing and I love my classes. All of the professors throughout the College of Business are very professional, friendly, and excited to teach. You've got to love the professors who are excited to teach in comparison to the ones who put you to sleep!
