Hi
Friends!!!

Let me ask:
How many days will it take to get an appointment to meet a Professor where Teacher:student ratio is not less than 1:200?
( or,once in blue moon ,in small group teaching 1:12 ratio seems O.K. )
Only honest responses are welcome.No vague answers please.

You know this depends on the Prof - at Emory I had 300+ to 1 in organic chem - yet he found time to see all the students who waited for him everyday. So I guess I don't see your point - perhaps I am confused due to lack of sleep.

i dont know, why dont you ask the students at MOST of the other caribbean schools that are imed listed and under 200 students in a class.

for me at auc, we had on average about 60 in our class. if we had any questions, we stayed after class to talk to the proffesor or popped into their office during office hours..... no appointment needed.

for the largest auc class (sept) there are usually about 150-180 students. from what i have seen and heard, nothing was different.

even for a class over 200 students..... like many us medical schools mind you...... you cant expect the professors to not have time to answer a few questions during office hours.

are you implying that the professors should be private tutors? thats really the only way that i can see professors not have time...... and rightfully so.

I dunno, I've never had to make an appointment to see a professor before. I just go to their office, knock, and ask my questions.

I have found my AUC professors always had time when I had questions. If there were too many people, we would go as groups and gang up on the professors. If we ran out of room in their offices, we went into larger offices.

[stephew]

do you know a ratio of 1:200 means? It doesnt mean 200 people in a class. it meas 1 prof for every 200 students. so that would be 5 profs for 1000 students. Hope that's not too vague. Unless you dont understand the ratio issue, Id ask what is the relevance of your question (leaving aside that med school isnt a remedial program). And while we're talking definitions and clarity; I am not an administrator.
