OUR STUDENTS!

Generally we have great students at UW-L.

A few facts:

• We are the second most "selective" UW university after Madison in terms of ACT and class rank.
• Most UW-L students are female (60%) and psychology is closer to 75%.
• Most come from within 100 miles - often from low population rural areas.
• Most of our students declare the major in their sophomore or junior year.
• Approximately 30% of our students go to graduate school - the vast majority to applied Master's programs.
• They tend to be hard working and good-hearted. 

What do they like?

• Students like structure and clear expectations
• Knowing deadlines way in advance
• An approachable and accessible instructor
• Enthusiasm
• Knowledge
• Hands -on work - not just "talking head" lectures
• Real life examples

What to they dislike?

• Delays of returns in materials (more than 1 week)
• Lack of feedback about grades - they like a sense early in the semester as to "how" they are doing
• Feeling brushed off by their faculty - give prompt response to emails/phone calls to make appointment
