[quote=Anonymous]So …newish here…things I’m taking away, hope they are right… Look for a university where students will be taught by professors with teaching skill and the right incentives to teach well. In at least part this means neither pressure to focus on research nor diminished need to teach well because of research focus. Being in large classes with grad students as teachers can be a sign your student won’t get their moneys worth out of a class/major/university. This suggests that a smaller university/LAC with focus on the majoring department a good way to avoid that. Taking an underresourced major is a bad idea. It would be great to have an insider tell you if a particular department is bad. It seems hard to find this but some people get lucky, e.g., by having professor uncles. [/quote]
