UMB Spring 2011

I know a few of the professors at UMB, and some of them enjoy giving students a hard time. However, all of these professors want their students to succeed. Of course there are also the nice professors at UMB who will make you laugh and smile. such is life. YING & YANG

Can someone please reassure me either that all schools have teachers like this or that UMD doesn't?

I was a science major for UG and Grad classes - and IMHO/E one is always going to find teachers that try to weed out/teach weed out classes. Usually those are the teachers/professors that are judged really harshly (read: complained about) by students on many online forums. There is a huge difference (and uncommon IMHE) for professors that teach these classes to be purposely mean and try everything they can to make students fail. They are hard and exacting as the subject that they teach are ones that are vitally important to the major/subject over all. I have found that these profs are usually more than willing to bend over backwards to make sure that the students are understanding the subject and that they are truly learning the subject matter and can apply it - but they expect the students to put in a lot of effort and to work hard as well.

Thanks everyone for the awesome reassuring responses. I am really looking forward to attending a school that will challege me to learn to my full potential. I agree that it is necessary to have thorough teachers, especially in subjects that are more crucial to nursing. I surely would not want my well being to be in the hands of someone who slept through and didn't understand material in nursing school! I just needed a little reassurance that my determination and hard work will not be undermined by teachers, and from talking to other students in the program, it will not be. In retrospect, the teachers I had who have the most complaints on teacher-rating sites tend to be the teachers who I learned the most from. Thanks again, and good luck to those awaiting responses. : )
