Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
I did not like the manner in which my classes were taught. One of my classes had a different professor each time we met making it difficult to know who to contact when I needed help. Other than that I feel the workload was manageable for the most part. |
