<p>I'm curious to know why Warrington College has been consecutively ranked the best public business college in FL. From what I've seen most of the core and non-major courses are only taught by one person. There is only one actual class per course on campus and the other classes are online. Many of the other schools I've seen have multiple teachers teaching the same course that way you actually get to attend a lecture. Not only that, but if one class has a crap teacher you can take another teacher who's teaching the same course. </p>
<p>I really don't get how UF's business college could be set up like that and still be considered the best public college in Florida. I must be missing something. </p>
<p>Can any one out there enlighten me?</p>
<p>i wrote a pretty long and very informative post to answer your question, but it got lost when i pushed reply. i am very sad about this. thus, i wont give as good of answer now. to summerize:</p>
<p>i think you misjudge the problems with the online format. the ones you listed become trivial when you’ve started taking the class, for various reasons (primarily the easy access to help). there are problems that exist having to do with the the logistics of challenging a large group of students more vs challenging a smaller group (who’s going to read 1500 research papers?). the business college in general doesn’t treat their average undergraduate students especially well. i have my complaints, many other people are much more vocal than i.</p>
<p>i still think its the best in florida for 2 reasons though. 1) other schools in florida aren’t better. period. 2) uf has excellent graduate program in general. the business school devotes a ton of resources to their graduate students. very good professors, very good reserach output and quality, very good environment. the benefits of a good graduate program have trickled down to us lowly undergrads in the form of excellent combined degree programs, good facilities, and access to important professors.</p>
<p>so, i see your point about online courses, but i don’t think they’re good things to worry about. if you don’t like a class with 500+ other students in it and you struggle because you don’t like the professor’s voice or whatever, then you’re doing something wrong, not warrington. i’d then answer your question with another: why wouldn’t it be? who else would be? i don’t think theres a good answer to that besides, idk and nobody really.</p>
