<p>Well, i’m on my third quarter of freshman year, so i suppose my opinion could be helpful.</p>
<p>I’ve had some very, very awesome teachers… and one or two terrible ones. Always ask around, and always check the various professor rating websites. The sad thing is, sometimes you get locked into a schedule with a not-so-great teacher. </p>
<p>I’d be wary of teachers with Asian names. Sorry, my fellow yellow brothas, but it’s so very difficult to understand FOB teachers. If you must take an Asian teacher, pray he or she has been in the country long enough to speak proper English. I had a math teacher first quarter that spoke… terrible English. Don’t get me wrong, he was amazingly good at math, and really nice… but i could NOT understand what he said at ALL. </p>
<p>Also, a good teacher is infinitely better than a good time slot. I’d go to even an 8AM class if the teacher was good, and i know you’ll agree after having bad ones.</p>
<p>I had a great Chemistry teacher that went above and beyond most teachers i’ve had. In addition to holding office hours, he would have study sessions over coffee or something neat like that with students. While i never made use of that service, it’s nice to know it was there if i ever needed help.</p>
