Advices from SFSU Alumni: How to Choose Classes & Professors:Use Rate My Professor!!

Hi,
I am Sumire, born in France🇫🇷,
raised in Japan🇯🇵, and lived in the US🇺🇸!
As a San Francisco State University, SFSU, alumni,
I want to share some tips for surviving campus life
and enjoy the best college life!!

Today’s topic is …

【How to Choose
Classes & Professors】

Step 1 Identify the classes you definitely need to take
・General education classes
・Prerequisite classes
・Mandatory classes to take in your major
Check all these classes, sort them by your prioritization,
and make a class schedule.

Step 2 Find the professor you want to have
There should be several classes with
the same title but with different professors.
In terms of credits, there is no problem to take either of them,
but you should choose it carefully because
although the contents are the same or similar,
how they teach or how hard the class is different.

How to decide which to choose?
There are 2 options.
1. ask seniors or people who have already taken the classes
2. Check the “Rate My Professors” website

Rate My Professors

This website is super helpful!!!
Especially when you have options
to take different professors in the same classes.
This website shows reviews of the classes and professors;
・how easy or harsh the classes and professors are
・how popular the classes and professors are.
