Another Semester Down

Evaluation of UTSA

Another Semester Down
Your Quizmaster

Yet another semester comes to a close and many people can go into the break and finally relax a little. I, myself am feeling great because of the dominate performance I had this semester. Towards the end of every semester, UTSA asks students to fill out evaluations of the courses you are taking; and oh boy let me tell you: I WENT OFF.

I do not know how it is on other university campuses because I have only been at UTSA but within my fist three semesters I have noticed one major problem. Well at least I think it is a problem. The teachers cannot teach!

Out of all the professors I have encountered so far at UTSA, only 1 out of 15 actually taught the class. The rest of them just read straight from the text book or straight from their slides/notes. I can literally do that myself at home. This is so ridiculous because, before I know it, I am just teaching myself the course.

That angers me so much because too much money is put into a college education per student for us to just end up teaching ourselves. I talk to colleagues on campus and they all tell me that they go through the same thing in all their classes as well. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! I do not understand how this has gone on for however long it has.

I want to go to school to get taught what I am paying for, not get taught to teach myself for what I am paying for. You would think that this wasn't the case since this is a university. This is something that must change and more people need to begin to speak out against it. This is unacceptable!

What do you all think? Leave some comments below.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
