Some students respond negatively to the quality of instructors in general. Comments are often directed at a supposed lack of expertise among faculty members. However, some insist that the problem lies less with the qualifications of instructors and more with the impression that many instructors are too research-focused. Several comments were targeted at the need for increased regional, racial, and economic diversity. Students comment that the organization of advising services can be improved.
Students state that they often receive contradictory information from advisors.
The result is that some students take classes that they ultimately do not need, or do not take classes that they ultimately end up needing. Most importantly perhaps, is that many students lose faith in advising services altogether. Some students view the General Education Requirement as a waste of time and money that could be spent on their respective majors. Others commented that courses offered that are designed to fill the GER are simply too easy. Yet a number of unclassifiable comments are noteworthy.
