How would you describe classes at Brown? Are they intellectually stimulating, or do people sit there and look brain dead? Do they actually challenge and excite you, or do you find yourself bored?
A friend of mine recently visited and sat in on a class. She said the professor was attempting to engage the students in discussion, but no one wanted to participate. The room was silent. On my visit, I didn't get the chance to view a class (I was there on a Sunday and Monday, but in the middle of mid-terms), so I have nothing to compare this to. Can anyone provide some sort of disagreement with what she saw? I really liked Brown and was disheartened by what she told me. |
