And now I shall turn my attention to the professors themselves. Class attendance is not even recorded and the professors are often late. If they speak intelligible English, you are very lucky. Most are foreigners with thick accents that are hard to understand. Class size is huge and most professors just read from the book. They add nothing of value to the class textbook. No wonder students skip class. It is usually just a boring lecture, and not even a true lecture, but a reading of the boring textbook. There is no discussion of ideas, no questions asked. At the end of the class, students pop their earbuds back in their ears and silently leave the room. It is eerily silent. The tests are a joke. First of all, because the professors are usually not full professors and are graduate assistants, they write one test and use it each term. So the students are able to easily cheat on these exams. If you are unfortunate to have no access to last term's test, don't worry, the test will not be a challenge. It will be multiple choice, a very simple multiple choice, with two of four answers unplausible, so the answer becomes fairly obvious.

About Greg S.
I am about to be a sophomore at a university in the midwest with a student body of 8,000. Frankly I don't know if I will stay here or transfer to a different university or quit altogether. This university is a huge disappointment. In this blog I will go into details about why I say this.
