Despite what many smaller colleges like to claim, not every class at your major universities are huge to the point that the teachers don't really know their students.

I took it with Frank Neubrander, who is the fricking man.
He let you use your laptops for the tests and let you take them as many times as you wanted until you got the grade you wanted. I only went to that class on test days and got an easy A

This. I had ~10 classes (Labs and Lecture classes) at LSU (Mech. Eng.) which had 15 or less people.

I got a BS in math from LSU almost 10 years ago. I think there were some very smart profs. Most 3000+ level classes had 10-15 people. Took honors classes in the 1500s, so generally 15-20 in those. All of my profs were American except 1 that I can remember.

Math department is terrible outside of Dottie Vaughan.



Gustaf Olaffson is the best Math Professor at LSU.

Dottie teaches lower level Math classes. I guess that answers the question if you are/were an engineering major or not.
