Professors

<p>I read on a website (campusdirt.com) that many of the math and science professors at Vanderbilt are really smart, but aren't great teachers. Is this at all true? Also, how difficult is it to be accepted into the ENGAGE program?</p>

<p>I can speak for the ENGAGE law program. Out of about 150 applicants, they interviewed three of us. So it's pretty competitive, but if you have a strong resume it's definitely worth applying.</p>

<p>Going along in the vein of what the professors are like, can any of the current students try to give us a picture of what specific professors are like? </p>

<p>Bio - Charles Singleton and Gerald Stubbs (how does having two professors work?)
Chem - David Wright</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Go check out this site called ratemyprofessor.com a great many vanderbilt professors and instructors are listed there.</p>

<p>for more ratings of Vandy's professors, go to <a href="http://www.vandyswap.net%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.vandyswap.net&lt;/a> there's no comments, but the ratings are more detailed, I think.</p>

<p>So does anyone know what having two instructors means? For Bio I have Singleton and Stubbs and it looks like Singleton is really hard, not very helpful, and unwilling to admit he's wrong while Stubbs is hard, but very helpful and kind. Does the two instructors means I'll have Singleton for 110a and Stubbs for 110b?</p>

<p>ps - all my classes/professors have a really low "easiness" rating... :(</p>

<p>stubbs teaches the first half of 110a while singleton teaches the second half</p>
