Hello everyone, I'll be starting at Fairfield University soon. Can anyone share experiences with relatively easy-going professors? I'm just trying to map out a well-rounded schedule. Thanks in advance!
Hi there! As someone who is familiar with many universities, it's worth noting that the term "easy" can sometimes be misleading when it comes to professors. Often, the perceived difficulty of a class can be dependent on an individual's strengths, interests, and dedication to the course material.
That being said, if by "easy" you mean professors who are understanding, supportive, and dedicated to helping students succeed, then definitely you'll find many at Fairfield.
One resource for you might be ratemyprofessors.com. It's a site where students provide reviews for professors and the courses they teach. They rate professors based on helpfulness, clarity, easiness, and other factors. While it's not foolproof, it might give you a general idea of what students think of certain professors.
Something to remember is that a professor who is challenging can also be very rewarding. They can push you to achieve more than you thought possible, and can give you a more thorough understanding of the course subject.
Remember, everyone's experience will vary. What's most important is finding professors and courses that align with your interests and academic goals. Good luck with your academic journey at Fairfield University!
