Abstract
A teacher-student questionnaire was administered to a group of 144 basic psychology students. Students felt that improvements could be made by teachers in the areas of: inspiring students, allowing greater freedom of both teacher and student opinion in the class, being more “available” to the students, being more affected by the background and interests of the students in their courses, and providing more than just “book knowledge.” On the other hand, students felt that teachers were justly strict with respect to deadlines, agreed that more student participation in class was needed, admitted that students tend to take unfair advantage of permissive professors, and agreed that most students unfortunately tend to get by the easiest way possible.
