classroom help and support.  They are committed to their students even the
teaching assistants and they are committed to what they teach.

F            
XXXX  0207  The professors are generally open to what may seem to be a radical

Y  F          
teachers and classes  The staff is excellent.
It appears that the teachers really do care a lot about the students learning 
the material and stimulate further exploration.  It is competitive. We are 
working with new theories and new technology.

--Arts and Sciences                

U            
ANTH  0589  The requirements are structured but broad enough to take what you 
want.

Y            
ANTH  0621  The Archeology classes.  Professor Danforth had courses that were
comprehensive, informative, encouraged critical thought.  Other than one other
course taught by a post doc (Patton?),  these are the only memorable courses I
had concerning valuable knowledge and learning experiences.

V  E         
ANTH  1025  It can be quite interesting to learn about such diverse topics and 
it is one where a person can use their imaginative side more & be creative, 
using  critical thinking.

N  Y         
BAAH  0431  Art History - going to museums, art galleries, learning about 
different types of art/artists.  Biochem: the biochem lab - I learned more in 
that class than any other class ever.

Y            
ENGL  1161  Modern Critical Thought - It was a tough bastard, but very 
interesting.  Mary Klages made the course very accessible.  To cover more 
ground the course should extend to a year rather than only one semester.  It 
was extremely  valuable (and not solely to my major).

about a Humanities major program is the variety of courses that can be  taken 
under that name.

much from our exercise physiology labs.  Also, in these classes and labs what I 
learned can be directly applied to myself.  Lastly, Kine 4100 (colloqium) is a 
great course and probably should be required in the future.

Y            
KINE  0690  The upper division classes & the various classes.  -Intro classes 
like Chem, Physics were hard because of the class size and lack of contact with 
professor.

unique and very marketable to potential employers.

A

scholarships is good.  The internship office is an excellent resource for 
students to utilize.
