Although Drexel was ranked No. 13 Professors Get Low Marks and No. 15 Least Accessible Professors, on Drexel's profile in The Review, students had positive things to say about professors.
One student wrote, "Lectures are posted online in WebCT, as well as course syllabi and assignments. This makes it easy to access information. Teachers are easy to get in touch with via e-mail and are very accessible to meet with as needed."
However, further in the profile, it notes that administrative tasks are not so easy and Drexel was ranked No. 7 with Long Lines and Red Tape.
"We understand that the administration is a large and various group but we're clear with students that it's outside of the academic arena so [we] ask in general what's their experience with administrators across the University," Franek said.
The book is composed of 62 rankings lists that report the top 20 schools in each category.
