Professors usually don't go out of their way to know your name, they are just their to lecture, teach you about subject and of course they will answer your questions. My least favorite class was college algebra, i hate math. My favorite class was strategic marketing with professor andrew yap, he is awesome and you learn so much. Students usually procrastinate and wait until the last minute, however study groups do meet and get together to study. Class participation is common, especially in marketing classes. Some students talk about the class and the quizzes outside of class and what they expected from the exam too. Professors all have study hours, but with most you have to make appointment b/c they may not even be in their room. The schools academic requirements are good, but it should be more challenging so one can learn more and it should be more hands on b/c thats how most people learn. Theres several career fairs, but no one really goes, FIU is geared more toward just getting degree.
