The college is not the best nor the worse. It could use some improves on the professors who teach there as in quality and teaching methods. College is intended to be a challenge, but it doesn't need to get harder with a professor there. Professors are there for teaching purposes and to provide information over the majority of the material. I would like to see great professors such Professor Duffman, Moore, and many more certificated professors. A professor as a nightmare would be Professor Craig Jensen who teaches Physics online and on campus. The professor was hard to work with and barely interacted with his students. If I were to ask a question, he would give a harder question to answer which was no help at all. I stressed day and night, even dropped my grades down with my other courses. I failed the class because his exam were extremely hard and the material wasn't enough to pass. I even paid a tutor for help and still failed. No student should go through what I suffered.
Review Eastern Shore Community College
Great school if you just want to learn. Also, you'll get the same education you would get at a four-year plus real life experiences at a fraction of the cost!
While not everything is well funded as it should be, the teachers are easy to understand, well rounded, and willing to help. The options for classes are constantly expanding with welding, microbiology, and physical training options.
