Academics Rating

The classes that I have experienced were small and large groups, which were not a problem for me. There are many programs available. There are online courses and blended courses to make it easier for students that work or just can't make it to school. The professors are very knowledgeable about the course that they are teaching and is geared toward the student. The professors want the student to understand the information that they are teaching, so they involve the students to communicate in class and give feedback.
