UT Knoxville • Knoxville, TN
Studying Business (completion in 1986)
• 5/3/2011
"My overall experience was good. I was able to achieve the things that I set out to do and I was also able to continue additional studies later."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | I would recommend this college to anyone who is interested in attending college. The cost of all universities are high, however, with the help of some financial assistance, this school can provide a student with the requirements for many careers that they would like to pursue. |
| Program Reputation | 7 | I have rated this a seven because within my field, most students aspire to go this school. The school is also large enough to offer most of the majors that people want to pursue, specifically in this economy. |
| Program Quality | 6 | The school that I attended was a little better than average compared to other colleges. I know that I received a great education because I have had the opportunity throughout my career to apply the things that I have learned. |
| Instruction | 8 | Over the course of my studies, the majority of my instructors were very good and helpful. I enjoyed the instructors that I had, specifically within my major. |
| How Difficult | 7 | Most of the classes within my study were relatively simple for me. However, there were some courses that were more challenging such as the finance courses that were included with my last year of study. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Most of the courses that I had were book oriented. The upper-level courses included very little to no hands on training opportunities. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 5 | I rated this section as average because we had class options available that for the most part, fit my schedule. However, I would always try to register for classes as early as possible because the courses that I needed would fill up too quickly. |
| Academic Facilities | 7 | The university had above average academic facilities. Most of the time I was able to secure the resources needed, including study rooms and other support,like tutors. |
| Social Life | 5 | I rated this as average because I only attended a few activities within the year. I did not go to any college parties |
| Placement Services | 5 | I rated this section as average because I did not use the job placement help offered by the University. I had assistance outside of the school with securing employment. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | I rated this as average because I do not know very much about the alumni at my school. Over the years I have received numerous communication but I have never had the interest nor time to follow-up with any of them. |
Martin Methodist College • Pulaski, TN
Studying Management Information Systems (completion in 2010)

"The school is growing in potential. It is not there yet, but in 5 years it will be a great institution."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |

| Would Recommend? | no | I wouldn't right now. In a couple of years, yes. |
| Program Reputation | 3 | People are not aware of Martin. The MIS program is under appreciated and few know about it. |
| Program Quality | 4 | They are a little subpar compared to other schools with the same degree. It could use some work and they are working on improving it. |
| Instruction | 4 | The school is working on improving itself. Right now it's just not there yet. |
| How Difficult | 5 | The classes are average. The good part is how the teachers work closely to help you do well. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Most everything you do is in the book and you learn it by doing it. It is straightforward. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 5 | The flexibility is average, maybe slightly below average, It is hard to find classes sometimes. |
| Academic Facilities | 4 | Currently we are below average. Yeah, we have a lab with some computers, but much improvement is needed. |
| Social Life | 2 | Social life at Martin is zero. There is not much to do on or off campus. |
| Placement Services | 6 | This division works hard. They have helped many with finding jobs after college. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | I don't know much about our program. I am still completing course work to further my education. |
