学生评价
- Students enjoy having a relationship with the professors in order to help them.
- This school is definitely one recognized for a very good reason. The professors here because of the small classes actually know and genuinely care about how their students are doing academically and outside off school. The library and the learning center are absolutely the two best places to go on campus for some outside help. The staff does everything that is asked of them and it's great.
- Being that Bethany is a liberal arts college the curriculum can be extremely tasking when enrolled in classes that are unrelated to your field of study.
- I have always considered myself to be a bit of a nerd because I love learning and I was really disappointed with my classes at Bethany. Though I was lucky to find a few great professors, many of them expressed a I-could-care-less-whether-you-learn-this-or-not attitude which was contagious with the students in the class. Comprehension of the material being taught was very low and professors were known to give massive curves on exams to make up for it. Don't get me wrong, it is great to get all A's in your classes, but I want to feel that I have earned those grades by learning the material. Instead feel like a diploma from Bethany proves that you sat through classes more than it proves that you became educated about your selected career path and that is not the reason that I came to college.
- I LOVE being a psychology major! I wish there was more hands on experience though. Not enough internship opportunities in our area.
- Registration Finaly Worked on My Third Try – My biggest complaint if any about the school is the class registration. First and formost it's all done online, and this would work great, if the colloges internet worked, it always finds a way of crashing during registration week. Registration really got anyoing wwas that for my first three self registration during my first year and the semester following, was that the website would not let me regestir due to the fact that the registra office messed up my files and because of this i was unable to not get my full class load I wanted. I just wish they also had a physical paper option to regestir so that you had a back up plan for regestration frustation.* (5)
