So let’s get this straight: the instructors are good, and non-English speaking TAs are bad (or just misunderstood). Sometimes, professors even give out their home phone numbers. What a great idea! Again, because it is a public university, general education classes tend to be large, and the instructor may appear to be unapproachable. You’ll get both good and bad professors, but the same could be said of teaching assistants, employers, and other University personnel. You just have to deal with it. For the most part, students at the UA like most of their teachers and find classes to be pretty challenging. This isn’t just an accelerated high school; it’s an accelerated university. It really seems to be worth the effort to do some research about particular instructors and classes by asking around, since students will remember both their good and bad instructors and can tell you which of them to either pursue or avoid. You can also log onto aer.arizona.edu/ASUA for instructor evaluations (find out what former students think about an instructor). Students Speak Out

Teachers here are what you make of them. There are a lot of hard teachers, but go see them during their office hours! Meeting the teacher is a good way for them to be more likely to help you out if you are struggling in the class. |

In my experience so far, I have found the teachers to be very good, except for the occasional math teacher that doesn’t speak very good English. They provide ample office hours and there is a lot of free tutoring for all classes on campus. |

All of my teachers were excellent. I was in the business school and I loved each one of my teachers. They don’t let the TAs teach the classes. Most of the core classes are taught by doctors in that field, and they want you to learn. They all curve the grades so you really don’t have to study much to get good grades—it’s great! |

All of the teachers I had I really enjoyed. The only teacher I didn’t like was my math teacher. The math program isn’t the best, but it’s alright. |

We have great professors here, but there are some that suck, too. I’ve had amazing teachers, and I’ve had some horrible ones; it’s all in the luck of the draw. But you hear about who’s good, and you can try to get into those classes. |
