University of Nevada-Las Vegas

The classes offer an incredible amount of insight and new information. Classes tend to start off a little slow in my experience, but when they did get going they got going quickly and I learned a lot in short amounts of time.

In addition, classes don't have lazy setups; that is, professors go into detail on each subject and don't simply list things for you to write down and memorize for the exams. Instead, they will actually take the time to explain and talk about each bit of content that comes up. Most professors also dedicate specific periods of class just for discussion about either the current or previous day's content. This allows for better material retention, especially after a semester ends when many students tend to forget things that during the semester they had only memorized.

Everyone knows college isn't gonna be easy, its a challenge. There are going to be teachers that only go over the general information in the lecture, leaving it up to you to learn the concepts through the book. But reading the book is required in all classes. There will also be teachers that go more in depth in the lectures, giving you a full understanding of the material before you study on your own. But all courses will offer a study group or tutoring, which is helpful when you don't get anything. Some teachers may have really thick accents, but that will just be another obstacle to overcome. So before you decide on your schedule, I recommend you look up the professor on ratemyprofessor.com, the reviews are usually straight on. Overall, you will learn a lot here, but you're going to have to put the time and effort in.

UNLV is full of intelligent professors who are eager to teach to those than are eager to learn. However, what I have noticed is many classes base their tests on assigned readings, and that actual lectures in class are meant to reinforce the material, rather than initially teach you. This was difficult to adjust to at first, but now that I know what to expect, my future semesters will be much better.

The professors I have taken really have a passion for what they teach. Of course you'll run into the professors the student body isn't fond of but thats a given at any campus. My experience with student teachers has also been a good one. The student teachers really relate to the students and also strive to be successful with their teaching.

I am already enrolled at UNLV to begin my first semester in the Spring of 2011. I have many friends who attended UNLV for the Fall semester & from what I have heard, the classes are packed full of learning experiences. They require much work, focus & concentration. The professors are very knowledgeable on the subjects which they teach, & they are willing help if you get lost. Overall, students at UNLV undoubtedly learn a lot in their time spent at the university.

This is my first year at UNLV as a transfer student and it has been the best university experience for me. Every professor has provided me with rigorous, yet effective coursework that benefits me and is teaching me about my major. Take a tour here and you'll fall in love just like I did.

I have a love-hate relationship with UNLV as I pretty much do with anything. The good definitely outweighs the bad though. It's virtually impossible to sum up my experience at UNLV in only three sentences!

The learning experience is quite beneficial, even though many would think being an in-state student doesn't give anyone an advantage. I would have to disagree with many who think that way. I can say that my entrance into UNLV was a pleasant surprise because I have learned more than what I initially expected. The professors have all been extremely motivated to teach and provide an enjoyable learning environment. So far as a sophomore at UNLV I am quite pleased with the learning that I have experienced thus far.

Just meeting new people and getting to know a different world is a huge learning experience. The curriculum of my classes are really challenging.

I learned more than I expected I would in my first year at UNLV. Not just from the courses I took but also the events held on campus. The Professors all were enthusiastic about the subjects they taught and applied what they were teaching to everyday life. They are willing to talk one-on-one after class and help you out when needed. The classes vary in size, which was nice for the different types of learning environments. The events on campus are what pushed the envelope for my learning. Many of the ones I attended raised awareness for Homelessness, Racial Minorities, Women’s rights, Gay rights, Disabled, and other minorities.
